If Chris Christie is elected President he wants to hire the founder of Fed Ex to help track immigrants just like they do packages.

Courtesy of ABC News:  

"At any moment, FedEx can tell you where that package is. It's on the truck. It's at the station. It's on the airplane," Christie said, speaking at a VFW hall in New Hampshire Saturday morning. "Yet we let people come to this country with visas, and the minute they come in, we lose track of them." 

As president, Christie said, he would enlist the help of Fred Smith, founder of Federal Express, to show Immigration and Custom Enforcement how to track immigrants who might otherwise overstay their welcome. 

"We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in, and then when your time is up, we go get you and tap you on the shoulder and say, 'Excuse me, thanks for coming, time to go,'" Christie said.

Later a Christie spokesperson clarified the statement to suggest that Christie is suggesting the use of technology, such as drones, to keep track of immigrants.

I wonder if Christie understands that Fed Ex is able to keep track of a package because it is constantly in one of its warehouses, planes, or vans at all time?

Surely Christie is not suggesting that we warehouse human beings so we can keep track of them?

What did they call that during World War 2?

Interment camps I think.

Or perhaps Christie is suggesting that all new immigrants visiting the country using a Visa have a microchip tracking device implanted under their skin?

That WOULD achieve the same purpose, I but I think there might be a little pushback from religious fundamentalists who consider that to be in the same category as the Mark of the Beast from the book of Revelations.

I think it's time to remind Christie that "people are not packages."

Tennessee man quits job after receiving W-2 stamped with the "number of the beast." Because you know, religion.

Courtesy of The Tennessean:  

A Clarksville man said that he quit his job last week in order to save his soul. 

Walter Slonopas, 52, resigned as a maintenance worker at Contech Casting LLC in Clarksville after his W-2 tax form was stamped with the number 666. 

The Bible calls 666 the “number of the beast,” and it’s often used as a symbol of the devil. Slonopas said that after getting the W-2, he could either go to work or go to hell. 

“If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil,” he said. 

Bob LaCourciere, vice president of sales and marketing for the Revstone Corp., which owns Contech Casting, said that Slonopas’ W-2 was labeled with 666 by the company that handles Contech’s payroll. It refers to the order in which the forms were mailed out, he said. 

This isn’t the first time that the Satanic number has caused Slonopas trouble at work. 

During his first day on the job in April 2011, Slonopas was supposed to be assigned the number 668 to use when he clocked in. But the human resources department gave him the wrong number — 666 — instead. 

Slonopas, who said he became a born-again Christian about 10 years ago, complained and was given a new number. 

In July 2011, the company changed time clock systems, and once again Slonopas got 666. This time he quit. The company apologized and he returned to work a few days later. 

This latest incident with the W-2 baffled company spokesman LaCourciere. He could not believe it had happened again. 

“I am completely at a loss for words,” he said.

"Either go to work, or go to hell." Choices, choices, choices.

Well I think that Mr. Slonopas needs to simply accept the fact that this CANNOT be a mere coincidence. One time perhaps, but twice? I think not!

Is the following not written in the great book of Revelations13:16-18? Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 

Surely this man who doth hide his true visage behind the slovenly, pinkish camouflage of a common  maintenance worker has been revealed unto the masses as the spawn of Satan, the progeny of Mephistopheles, the Anti-Christ made flesh.

Burn him! Burn him with fire!
 
Or....perhaps instead people can simply pity him for his ignorance and make sure to keep him away from sharp objects and dangerous substances.

Religion, keeping people terrified of simple coincidences for over 2000 years.
