Trenton NJ, the Washington Post reported that when Phil Murphy takes office as New Jersey’s next governor, he plans to establish a state agency geared toward aiding undocumented immigrants. Murphy, a Democrat who held the ambassador post under President Barack Obama after several years as a Goldman Sachs executive, said the agency would be called the Office of Immigrant Defensive Protection.
Murphy previously vowed to make New Jersey a sanctuary state if President Donald Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Governor Phil Murphy said in a tweet , “Honored to be sworn in as the new Governor of this great state in just a few short days. Together, we will build a stronger and fairer New Jersey for all. ” Critics claim “fairer New Jersey “is code for massive tax increases which will be needed to fund Sanctuary Phil’s wish list state.
While New Jersey faces catastrophic fiscal issues , the new governor is dead set on a significant expansion of failed policies that have lowered the quality of life in New Jersey and forced so many residents and businesses to flee the state .
Resident is suburban bastions like Ridgewood can be assured to take the brunt of Murphy’s far left agenda .
