Poll: Will you vote for Trump now that Christie is helping shape his immigration plan?

Please vote in our informal, unscientific poll.

TRENTON -- Will Gov. Chris Christie's role is moderating Donald Trump's stance on immigration affect your 2016 vote?

On Friday, it was disclosed that the governor was the source of Republican presidential nominee's pivot away from his earlier calls for mass deportations of all of the nation's undocumented immigrants.

Last Wednesday, Trump appeared at a town hall meeting with Fox News' Sean Hannity and said he wasn't sure if he wanted carry through on his prior promises to deport all 11 million unauthorized immigrants. The mogul asked the assembled crowd, "Can we go through a process, or do you think they have to get out? Tell me. I mean, I don't know. You tell me?"

Trump's immigration pivot shaped by Christie, Giuliani says

Former New York mayor and Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani told NJ Advance Media last week that even more Christie-inspired changes to Trump's immigration stance will be forthcoming, such as a plan to track immigrant visas like Fedex packages, and using the E-Verify system to reduce illegal labor.  

On Saturday, during a Trump rally in Iowa, the tycoon promised to deport "criminal illegal immigrants...within one hour" of his inauguration if elected. He made no mention of his calls a year ago to deport all undocumented immigrants. 

And, in a sign of Christie's influence, Trump also said that he was developing an "exit-entry tracking system to ensure those who overstay their visas, that they're quickly removed" a proposal that Christie made during his own candidacy.

For his part, Christie says Trump hasn't changed his immigration tune and won't disclose what advice he's given the mogul. Trump will lay our his immigration policy Wednesday night.
