New Jersey Tops the Nation in People Moving Out of the State & Drivers Licenses and More Coming for Illegals

The Hurley Line:
New Jersey has set another record, and, it’s very bad news. More citizens are now moving out of the Garden State than any other state in The Union.
How did this happen? Socialist Democrat polices, that’s how! It’s now a contagion. Almost 60 percent of all moves within the entire Northeast are people leaving for other less regressive states. More people are moving out versus moving in, which means that fewer people remain to pay the ever increasing tax burden.
The numbers are worse in New Jersey than anywhere else, whereby 67 percent of all New Jersey moves are outbound. We have achieved a status where almost 7 out of every 10 moves in New Jersey are people leaving the state. This math is unsustainable in terms of wealth flight and the overall loss of productivity that results.
It’s no surprise that another socialist democrat state (New York) is in the second worst position at 62 percent of all moves being outbound. Connecticut is tied with New York at 62 percent.
The study was commissioned by United Van Lines, who have been tracking these trends for the past 41 years. Vermont is the only state in the entire Northeast that made the “most moved to” list and topped the list with 73 percent of all moves in the state of Vermont being inbound moves.
Kansas, Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Montana and Michigan follow on the “most moved from” states. Conversely, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, South Dakota and Washington, D.C. rounded out the “most moved to” states.
It’s not hard to figure out what’s going on here. People are moving from states that are crushing their residents with high taxes, onerous regulations and a high cost of living, in favor of states that are more fair and more free.
Over the past year, things have gotten far worse in New Jersey. Radical policies are being enacted and proposed at an alarming level. The priorities are very anti-resident taxpayer in nature.
The New Jersey Legislature and Governor are presently considering a law to provide drivers licenses for illegals. Other states around the country have done this and more are proposing to do the same.
Their goal is only slightly masked. It’s not about illegals having drivers licenses. The real goal is to provide them with drivers licenses and provide the illegals with a path to become registered voters. The New Jersey Democrat plan is disgusting. They are proposing the drivers licenses … however, additionally, they are preparing to change the law that all people with a New Jersey drivers license will automatically become a registered voter.
They disguise this by saying that they want more people to participate in our elections. That’s a bald faced lie. They are striving to create an electoral playing field that will lead to a permanent democrat majority here in New Jersey.
It is no accident that currently 11 out of 12 Members from Congress (from New Jersey) are Democrats, along with both United States Senators, Governor and the vast majority of the New Jersey Legislature. It is becoming very difficult for a Republican to win any seat at the county, state or federal level throughout the state.
Regarding the providing of drivers licenses for illegals; the enforcement mechanism is preposterous. The illegals will be responsible to self-report and reveal that they do not have the right to vote. I have no doubt how this will unfold if it is approved.
Make no mistake about it … The illegals will ultimately be able to vote in New Jersey, whether by walking into a polling place, or, through the vote-by-mail process. In many cases I believe that unscrupulous actors will cast their vote for them without their knowledge.
More than a decade ago, the state of California embarked upon a sneaky incremental plan to give illegals the right to vote. It started with granting a drivers license. They were careful to state that this is only to make them legal to drive and have proper insurance, etc. They declared that the illegals are here and that they need to be able to drive to work and elsewhere.
The California scam provided guarantees that illegals will not have the right to vote. However, the very next thing that they did was to mix the illegals in with all legal Californians in the motor vehicle date base. I immediately knew what this meant. Their next move was to make all those with drivers licenses automatically registered voters.
And, because they purposely did not separate the illegals from the legals … the illegals essentially became eligible voters. The Lying Democrats who created this con continue to state that this is a lie that no illegals have the right to vote.
In 2018, cities in California allowed illegals to vote in school board elections. They declared that it’s only fair because they have children in the school district and that they deserve a say in the matter.
It’s not a stretch to believe that their next step will be to use the exact same logic to next allow illegals to vote in local, county, state and federal elections. They spent more than a decade denying their ultimate plan. There’s no denying it anymore. It’s here. It’s happening.
New Jersey has now graduated past “Baby California” status. We are now proceeding at warp speed heading towards becoming a socialist state. 12 other states in America currently have granted drivers licenses to illegals.
Another important factor in the socialist liberals efforts to provide illegals with drivers licenses is because they know that this document is so valuable in terms of obtaining other citizen benefits that they are not entitled to … however, they are regularly receiving, such as: job assistance, housing assistance, health care and more.
New Jersey has become so radical in the past year, that our Governor and Legislature are providing millions of dollars in legal assistance to help illegals stay here … yes, illegally! They even resorted to cutting Veterans programs to do it.
I remain an eternal optimist, however, I’m not sure that this path toward socialism can be stopped in New Jersey. New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney remains our last, best hope to slow down the rate of speed.
However, as long as our progressive Socialist Democrats continue to live in an alternative Universe … filled with Rainbows, Unicorns and everything being “free” … we will remain in grave danger.
