I'm thinking, have we reached a point where our politicians are only trying to protect the "good guys" and forgetting about public safety? 
These new bills in NJ might be well-intentioned but they're just delaying the issue - what's being done to address the root problem of crime and violence? 
It's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. I'm not saying we shouldn't protect immigrant residents, but how about focusing on creating safer communities for everyone?! 
. So New Jersey is trying to limit its cops' cooperation with ICE, right? And it's all about protecting immigrant residents who might be worried about getting targeted by federal agents . I think it's great that they're taking steps to prevent what some people call "racially influenced policing" 
. But at the same time, I can see why some lawmakers are saying it's a bit too much and could make things less safe for everyone else 
.
Not just shielding certain groups from federal enforcement. But then again, if immigrant residents are genuinely scared of getting caught by ICE, maybe we need some kind of protection 
.
. And I'm sure there are pros and cons to both sides, but as a neutral pollster, I think it's interesting to see how people feel about this issue . Do you guys think New Jersey is going the right way with this?. On one hand, you've got law-abiding citizens who want to protect their own rights and safety, like Governor Murphy's stance 
. But then you've got immigrant communities that are literally living in fear of ICE raids and deportation 
. This is where the real policy-making happens, people .
. It's time for us to take a hard look at our immigration policies and ask ourselves what we're trying to achieve here . Are we trying to build a more just society, or are we just trying to appease the special interests of the federal government? 
. We need more leaders like her who are willing to take bold action and protect our most vulnerable citizens . And as for Assemblyman Myhre's criticism of these bills, I'd say he's just playing politics 
.
The answers will determine whether we're moving in the right direction, my friends 
. This move by NJ Legislature is kinda like a test run for other states to see how far they can go in shielding their immigrants from federal agencies. I mean, if they're really concerned about "racially influenced policing", why not address the systemic issues that lead to it instead of just sweeping it under the rug? 
I think it's a good idea for states like New Jersey to take control of their own immigration policies. It's not like they're creating a haven for people who commit crimes or anything. 
They're just trying to protect their residents, especially the ones who are already here and aren't hurting anyone. And it's not like this is going to make New Jersey less safe, it's just about being proactive. 
The federal government should focus on its own job rather than criticizing states for taking care of their own citizens.
