Think he'll listen?
"Governor Phil Murphy, NJ
Good day. I am writing to implore you to stand with our southern state, Texas, as they defend their border against illegal migration which is not only overloading the resources in southern states, but our nation as a whole.
The Constitution requires the federal government to protect our borders, and if they are derelict in their duty, the state has the right, and the obligation, to protect it's own border.
Nowhere does it state that our border shall be open to anyone to cross over at their leisure, much less with the blessing of the federal government. This is not about politics, it's about the damage to our country. There are immigration laws on the books that are not being enforced. Why? Tax payers deserve to have the protections we pay for.
I hope that you will join with the other states that have thus far joined with Texas.
A concerned New Jerseyan"
I am glad you did this. I was angry and sullen about the direction the country was headed. Now I am like you and make small more local efforts as that is where as an individual we can influence those around us. Murphy likely won’t do anything but you discussing this can help others see that a societal change starts by standing for something openly.
Absolutely.
A lot of small steps locally can make a big difference.
If you get a couple of people to think, and then they get another few people to think, not even agree, but just be willing to think about the issues, then maybe it'll spread statewide.
