Immigrant advocates are pushing for passage of the Immigrant Trust Act, to give some protection in New Jersey for those here without papers and those with all their documents in order. Sen. Gordon Johnson (D-Bergen), primary sponsor, said, “It prevents the local government from sharing information about people's status with the federal government.”

Illegal aliens who broke immigration laws should not be protected by politicians. These politicians should be made accountable for protecting law breakers.

[@Flysway7]

Exactly well said

[@mosessr7690]

They should be jailed for obstruction of justice.

[@555125kevin]

Don't worry this gave them a big loss in November, they'll continue to lose elections.

[@IfuNouNo]

You first.

[@Flysway7]

So they want to protect them from doing something illegal ok 👍🏼 lol 😆 what a joke

[@newyoricanlevitenyrican9592]

Sorry, but if you KNOWINGLY entered this country ILLEGALLY, which is a FELONY, then you don't have the right to be protected from having BROKEN THE LAW...

[@jared5811]

The legal ones are being arrested too. The legal routes are often too long or difficult to proceed through for those escaping violence. I'd bet your ancestors would not have qualified so stfu

[@CharlesWessel]

Got to go

[@AlvaroEstrella-ei3ff]

People can say Trump is bad for this but you can blame the previous administration for causing a border crisis 🤔

[@Gustave67]

[@MdHossain-f3l]

They are illegal. Bottom line.

[@jared5811]

Humans aren't illegal. People seeking safety from violence often cannot afford to wait to escape. I'm confident your ancestors would not have made the cut today

[@cu6454]

[@danielmelo2875]

Civil rights? 😂 how many you shelter? If they so wonderful take some with you…. You got not idea what you talking about im Hispanic and they are cleaning the cities before they are just like the ones I came from

[@newyoricanlevitenyrican9592]

Sorry, but you don't roll out the red carpet and give royal treatment at taxpayers expense, to people who entered this country ILLEGALLY , which is a FELONY

[@Mountain_life_on_set]
