Even though Gov. Phil Murphy insisted on turning New Jersey into a sanctuary state, he says he cannot now take in migrants. He has neither the room nor the resources.
Murphy made the comments after the Biden administration placed Atlantic City International Airport on a list of 11 federal sites that are under consideration for housing over 100,000 immigrants flooding into New York City.
No one seems to care about the millions flooding into Texas and other states along the border.
“I don’t see any scenario where we’re going to be able to take in a program in Atlantic City or frankly elsewhere in the state. You need scale, enormous amount of federal support, resources that go beyond anything that we can afford. Putting everything else aside, I just don’t see it. I would suspect that will continue to be the case.

“We need help up here,” Van Drew said. “We need to take care of our citizens and our residents who are breaking their back every single day.”
