CNN: FedEx Warns of ‘Worldwide Recession’ as Package Volume Falls

(CNN)Relax, it's FedEx. That's a slogan associated withone of the world's largest express transportation companies. It is also the latest policy proposal put forth by 2016 GOP presidential hopeful Chris Christie.

"You go on online and at any moment, FedEx can tell you where that package is," the New Jersey governor said on Saturday. "Yet we let people come into this country with visas, and the minute they come in, we lose track of them."

Christie said that he wants FedEx founder Fred Smith to come and work for the government to show U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) how to set up a system for tracking people.

Christie's idea would be laughable were he not serious.

The idea of tracking people like packages would likely be both impossible and inhumane. Moreover, it would do nothing toward solving the problem of what to do with the majority of the 11 million undocumented immigrants who are already here.
