Christie: We Need More Skilled Immigrants But I’d Want to Take a Closer at Family Reunification Aspect

‘More skilled people in this country is a good idea’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CHRISTIE: "I haven’t seen the legislation. I don’t know in detail about it except what I’ve read in the newspaper. Getting more skilled people into the country is very important for our economy, especially a tech economy. When I’ve spoken to leaders of the tech industry, they say they need more skilled people than we currently have here in the U.S. To fill those jobs. That part of it is a good idea. The rest of it, we should examine closely. Some family unification that I favor, Jake. We want to get those skilled people in our country they need to bring their families with them. We need to look at this and the details. It’s like responding to health care. It’s a moving target. More skilled people in this country is a good idea. Family reunification portion of it, I want to take a closer look at that."
