The Garden State is one step closer to becoming a third world enclave, rivaling Los Angeles and San Francisco, thanks to progressive Governor Phil Murphy who will sign a bill into law allowing Illegal aliens to acquire drivers’ licenses, which in reality translates into a backdoor to the voting booth, despite what despicable Democratic lawmakers in Trenton claim.
Murphy a big supporter of sanctuary cities has repeatedly asked the Democratically controlled legislator to push the bill through after it was approved in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the final legislative session of the year.
The bill would allow the roughly 450.00 illegal aliens in New Jersey to obtain drivers’ licenses, with spotty verification as to their identity or place of birth, regarding rigid background checks from third world countries.
However “ironically” the bill will include “SAFEGUARDS IN PROTECTING THE IDENTITIES Of ILLEGAL ALIENS” from federal law enforcement agencies, attempting to ferret out potential felons or wanna-be terrorists within the illegal population, which no doubt will contribute to American citizens being victimized.
According to a leftist think tank organization called New Jersey Policy Perspective, over 338,000 illegal aliens would obtain driver’s licenses during the first three years, including over 220,000 low-income residents and former felons reentering society.
Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, a Democrat, told The Wall Street Journal, “The legislation advanced on the Assembly floor and by the Senate today is fair and responsible. It brings us one step closer to ensuring all motor vehicles and drivers are insured, thereby creating safer roadways for all New Jersey residents.”
However, the new legislation allows illegal aliens over the age of 16 to obtain driver’s licenses and learners’ permits, with foreign documents from drug invested countries like Mexico, where drug cartels easily forge documents for a fee, almost guaranteeing that a number of individuals getting New Jersey drivers’ licenses are not who they say they are, moreover it’s not clear within the bill if residency needs to be proven. The bill also does not require a Social Security number as a form of identification.
Republican Assemblyman Ron Dancer told the Wall Street Journal, “How does giving illegal immigrants, who we know have already broken the law once, an official government document going to make us safer?”
To that end, Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf appearing Tuesday on Fox & Friends” said the new legislation would hamper their efforts in targeting criminal aliens for deportation.
“It’s very similar to what we see with sanctuary policies around the country that, again, are not protecting the communities and the law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” Wolf said. “And, that’s really concerning a ‘protecting the homeland.’
Wolf said he thought that awarding illegal activity becomes an incentive for other illegal immigrants to try to enter the country.
“I would say that any time we reward illegal behavior, illegal activity, that’s problematic for us,” he concluded. “And what we have seen, particularly on the border, is that encourages more populations, more individuals, to come here illegally, which puts a larger strain on DHS’s capabilities to secure the border and the like.”
Moreover the legislation, I believe is a clever ruse as a backdoor to America’s voting booth, to perhaps affect the 2020 election cycle, similar to the desperate attempt by House Democrats.
Currently, 13 states including the District of Columbia, allow illegal aliens to obtain drivers licenses, however under the constitutional authority of the 10th Amendment. Congress enacted REAL ID in 2005 creating standards for state-issued driver’s licenses, including evidence of lawful status, which one would conclude would also include citizenship.
We are being overrun by communists posing as democrats. The real Democrat Party either no longer exists or it has gone silent in the wake of progressivism, otherwise known as socialism. The idea of giving “anything” to people here “ILLEGALLY” is just crazy. Illegal is ILLEGAL and is punishable, not rewarded!!!!!!
Our American ‘citizens’ must become more vocal and insist that our legislators, at every level, enforce our laws and vote OUT those who insist on changing laws to reward illegal immigration. May God bless America.
Only thing I have to say is I’m happy I had nothing to do with this. I did not vote for our current Governor! But, those like me will suffer the consequences.
For every one who gets hurt are killed because of this dumb Doings, Jersey and people who are for this, should Pay For All law shouts and damage!! For every vote cast by them they should be Kicked Out of this Country, with the dumb Ass Who Aloud this to Happen!!!!
we are far to easy giving the minorities they want espcially from a foreign nation
Any state what would give illegals drivers licencees should LOSS all federal tax money PERIOD
What next MS-13 and run for political office.
WAKE UP America before it’s to late.
God Bless The United States of America
Bet the LEGAL CITIZENS of NJ are really sorry they voted for those dumdems……….It wasn’t enough that the tax payers were footing the bill for all those illegals that were supposed to be sent back to their own country the same day they set foot in the USA according to the CONSTITUTION.
All that is about is letting this illegal vermin vote. Between those interlopers and the dead this is the only way they have a chance to cheat every election.I am not surprised that a left wing stronghold like Jersey wants to cheat its way to another election cycle. The left coast on both sides of tho country are nothing but pathetic, losers. Take a good look at what they have turned California into ..a third world country. N.Y. just passed int olaw the felons release program. No matter what the crime including terrorism threats , after you are arrested, you are released without bail. This covered all felons including Politicians. Look it up and see what it covers, why would anyone live there? There or California……or any left wing run state. Are they all brain dead?????
it`s about time the American people put a stop to all this crap and sanctuary cities,they need to vote out these people as soon as,see what is happening in these sanctuary cities ,how the crime rates have gone up mpre murders,rapes everything,these people are illegal don’t theses mayors and judges know what illegal means
No Leslie, NOT A PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, are brain DEAD, as you put it!!!! I live in the state and I am retired and own my own house, but no one is buying, or if you do sell you get less than a week to move all of your household!!!!! Just because you don’t like some people, why are all of the people like you, hate all the people of California!!!!!! I hardly hear anyone bad mouthing New Youk, or any other of the blue commie states, but California is the first to come to the front of the line!!!!!! Why don’t, or do you even think that there are other states that act and do the same thing that California has or had done!!!! The only one that I can see that is “BRAIN DEAD” is you!!!! How would like it if I bad mouthed your state, government, or you, I bet you wouldn’t like it!!!!
