In a move expected to affect up to 800,000 people, President Barack Obama announced Friday a plan to allow some young illegal immigrants the ability to apply for temporary legal status and work permits.

The probable Republican nominee for U.S. president attends a political fundraiser on Bernardsville mountain.
The actual event was a political fundraiser for state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, a Republican and Middletown resident who wants to replace Democrat Bob Menendez in the U.S. Senate, but the reason for all the security, traffic and reporters outside a private home in Bernardsville on Wednesday afternoon was the awaited arrival of Mitt Romney.

Two New Jersey residents, including one from Monmouth County, are challenging President Barack Obama's place on the state's primary ballot, according to the Bayshore Tea Party Group.

The challenge will be heard by an administrative law judge Tuesday at the Administrative Law Offices in …
