“I looked at this impartially with no fore knowledge of the issues or individuals. If Fishbein could have defended himself against the charges made against him and his administration, he probably would have. Instead he put much more energy into making appeals to popularity. I believe the two board members in question saw some wrong doing and pursued it. My understanding is that Glen school is operating a day care open to outside residents at a loss and covering up that loss. So they are essentially making Ridgewood residents pay part of the cost of day care for people in other towns. This is wrong if it is true. But much worse is poor leadership during the current panic. There is simply no elevated risks to running the schools as normal and this is what should be happening.”

Data captured from July 13 to Aug. 20 show that ICE officers arrested more than 2,000 at-large individuals living illegally in the U.S., or who are removable from the U.S. due to their criminal histories. About 85 percent of those arrested nationally by ICE on immigration charges also had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.
“This so-called legislation is just vote winning puffery: any person wishing to work in the US still has to comply with Federal immigration laws.
Thus it is a federal offense to employ someone who lacks the proper immigration status, just as it is an offense to gain employment for an illegal alien. Ignorance of the law is no defense.
Besides being unlawful and unpatriotic, the Democrat’s are using illegals as cannon fodder to gain votes, and don’t care a jot about the fate of any illegals who work, or employers who employ them.
In any case, how on earth can anyone this bull was aimed at, legal or illegal, gain employment if the businesses are being strangled by Murphy et al?”
