They don't even do anything about the ones on public property along Rt17 and GSP exit ramps

They are not supposed to be on state property without a permit. It’s typically not enforced though. Unfortunately it’s not a priority for most road crews to remove them until after the election because they will just pop up again the next day and they don’t have the manpower or have more important work to tend to.

When my dad was a Boy Scout troop leader, he would pick those ones up to use for certain projects. I always thought it was hilarious.

There was a funny crudely drawn sign about “Securing the Border” before the GSP mall entrance the other day lol

I’ve see a few of those popping up in that area. They’re not wrong though. With Pennsylvania to our west and New York to our north and east we are vulnerable. Borders need securing or the left lane will be clogged with people driving slow from out of state.

I saw a handwritten 2000 mules one by the bergen town center also. Luckily someone spray painted over the "had enough vote republican" one. Amazing to me that people actually think thats an answer.

I kid you not there is a former councilman from Old Bridge (Razzoli) who ran for re-election in 2021, and the #1 campaign platform on his website was securing the border.

You mean securing On The Border?

I saw one on a 17 off ramp a month or so ago. Only time in my life I've ever contemplated getting out of my car and tearing a sign down, but it was rush hour and I didn't want to hold up traffic.

I've had enough with this "secure the border" dogwhistle. I get it, you hate immigrants. Well, those people can go fuck themselves because without immigration, I wouldn't exist.
