Immigrants and their advocates today found an unlikely ally: the top law enforcement officer in New Jersey.
Noah Addis/The Star-LedgerU.S. Attorney Christopher Christie speaks at First United Methodist Church of Dover today.
U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie surprised many at a Dover church public forum when he said sneaking into the United States is not a criminal act.
"Being in this country without proper documentation is not a crime," Christie told more than 60 residents and town officials. "The whole phrase of 'illegal immigrant' connotes that the person, by just being here, is committing a crime."
Being undocumented may be a civil wrong, but it's not a criminal act, Christie said.
"Don't let people make you believe that that's a crime that the U.S. Attorney's Office should be doing something about," he added of entering the country illegally. "It is not." -----
