Government


This week on Jersey XYZ, Stathis, Kavita, Brian, and Ronald dive into what is happening in New Jersey this week. Gov. Phil Murphy just signed into law a bill that allows for automatic voting registration. We break down how this works and what this would mean for communities across the state. We later discuss the lawsuit against the Trump Administration against the question of asking about citizenship on the upcoming 2020 Census. We talk about why states are suing and what would a question like this would mean for Federal funding and representation if the question were to stay. Finally, we talk about how NJ will allow DREAMERS to get financial aid for their higher education. We breakdown how DREAMERS are intertwined with our success of our state, and how giving them the opportunity to fund their higher education is a win win.
