    Default NJ DEMOCRATS want to give illegal aliens driver's licenses

    DEMOCRATS SAY PEOPLE IN THE US ILLEGALLY WANT TO BUY AUTO INSURANCE FOR YOUR PROTECTION



    Illegal immigrants are already driving on New Jersey's roads, so why not give them a chance to get a driver's license so they can insure and register their vehicles?

    That's the viewpoint of a handful of state legislators who on Tuesday announced they have introduced a bill that would let illegal immigrants apply for a license. They argue it'll make the state's roadways safer for everybody and support the Garden State economy.

    "We can't ignore the reality that undocumented immigrants are on the roads now, going to work, driving their children to school and doing the routine activities that all families do," said state Sen. Joseph Vitale, one of the bill's sponsors.

    "If they don't have a driver's license, don't have insurance and are driving a vehicle that isn't registered, it creates a hazard on the road," Vitale, D-Middlesex, said.

    "There are countless undocumented immigrants who pay taxes and go to work every day in New Jersey," state Sen. Teresa Ruiz said in support of the bill.

    "Many rely heavily on public transportation, but others take the risk of driving, despite not having access to drivers' licenses," Ruiz, D-Essex, said. "Offering undocumented immigrants a pathway to a legal drivers' license would reduce their chances of encountering legal troubles while trying to make a living, while also making the roads safer for all New Jerseyans."

    New Jersey would join a dozen other states that grant licenses to illegal immigrants.

    The other states with such programs are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont and Washington.

    Default Me too hits another DEMOCRAT; will JPP FEMOCRATS care?




    A longtime top staff member of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris resigned Wednesday after The Sacramento Bee inquired about a $400,000 harassment and retaliation settlement resulting from his time working for Harris at the California Department of Justice.

    Larry Wallace, who served as the director of the Division of Law Enforcement under then-Attorney General Harris, was accused by his former executive assistant in December 2016 of “gender harassment” and other demeaning behavior, including frequently asking her to crawl under his desk to change the paper in his printer.

    The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 30, 2016, when Harris was still attorney general but preparing to be sworn in as California’s newly elected Democratic senator. It was settled less than five months later, in May 2017, by Xavier Becerra, who was appointed to replace her as attorney general.

    By that time, Wallace had transitioned to work for Harris as a senior advisor in her Sacramento office.

    “We were unaware of this issue and take accusations of harassment extremely seriously. This evening, Mr. Wallace offered his resignation to the senator and she accepted it,” Harris spokeswoman Lily Adams wrote in an email.

    Harris, who has said she will decide over the holidays whether to run for president in 2020, has been a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement against workplace sexual harassment. She introduced a bill in June to ban forced nondisclosure agreements in harassment settlements.

    Wallace did not return a call to his office seeking comment.

    In her lawsuit against the Department of Justice, Danielle Hartley said she was recruited to be Wallace’s assistant during a 2011 restructuring of the Division of Law Enforcement. Wallace, a former Oakland police detective who previously worked under Harris when she was the district attorney of San Francisco, had been appointed director earlier that year.

    During an unspecified period, the lawsuit states, “Hartley had concerns she was being harassed and demeaned due to her gender.”

    According to the lawsuit, Wallace placed his printer on the floor underneath his desk and ordered Hartley to replace the paper or ink on a daily basis. When she asked to move the printer to another location so she would not have to crawl under his desk in dresses and skirts, the lawsuit states, Wallace refused. Wallace frequently asked Hartley to put paper in the printer while he was sitting at his desk or in front of other male executives from the division, according to the lawsuit.

    According to the lawsuit, Hartley eventually informed her supervisor, Shannon Patterson, of the harassment and asked for help. “Hartley observed Patterson enter Wallace’s office and met with him behind closed doors,” the lawsuit states, but after that, she began to experience retaliation.

    Two days before Christmas 2014, the lawsuit states, Hartley was involuntarily transferred.

    Twice, the lawsuit states, Hartley took a state exam for a new classification and scored a 95, but she was not considered either time for the promotion.

    In an answer to the lawsuit filed a month later, the department denied “generally and specifically each and every allegation contained in the Complaint.”

    Becerra, who by then had been appointed to succeed Harris, and two of this deputies said the department took “reasonable steps to prevent and correct workplace harassment” by instituting procedures for harassment and training Hartley on the policy.

    Hartley “unreasonably failed to utilize the procedures during the period of time, and after, the alleged harassment or discrimination was occurring,” Becerra wrote. “Had Plaintiff taken reasonable effort to utilize these procedures Plaintiff’s alleged harm, injury or damages would have been avoided, in whole or in part.”

    But on May 16, 2017, the department settled with Hartley for $400,000. As part of the settlement, Hartley resigned. She also agreed to a non-disclosure clause, forbidding her from discussing the settlement amount or alerting the media to the agreement.

    The Department of Justice late Wednesday said it would not comment on what it considers a personnel matter.

    Amanda Renteria, who worked as Becerra’s chief of operations before mounting a bid for California governor earlier this year, signed off on the settlement.

    She said Wednesday that she did not remember the details of the case.

    Here's another DEMOCRAT caught doing the dirty:



    In raw yet stern testimony, one of DEMOCRAT Gov. Phil Murphy's former campaign supporters who is now a top state official detailed how those in the governor's inner circle ignored her allegation of sexual assault against a campaign aide who also went on to secure a key public job.

    “I had access to people in the highest positions of power in the state of New Jersey, and at each turn, my pleas for help went unanswered,” Katie Brennan, chief of staff at the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, told lawmakers Tuesday during a five-hour hearing where she was the sole witness.

    “Somehow it wasn’t a priority to address my sexual assault and working with my rapist until it impacted them," she said.

    And Murphy himself was told she had to discuss a "sensitive matter" with him and his wife, Brennan said, but still no action was taken.

    Brennan testified that at least four top Murphy officials eventually knew of her allegation against Al Alvarez, who had been the chief of staff at a state authority and a senior member of Murphy's campaign. Alvarez remained in state employment for months until Brennan finally told her story publicly.

    Three Virginia businessmen — including Abul Huda Farouki, a major DEMOCRAT donor who contributed to Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — were charged with violating US sanctions on Iran and for conspiring to defraud the US government through a shady Pentagon contract.

    The Department of Justice said the contractor, the Dubai-based Anham, lied to the Pentagon in 2011 in order to win an $8 billion, 10-year contract to supply U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the DOJ announced. At the time, Barack Obama was president and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
