Gov. Phil Murphy says New Jersey doesn’t have the resources to take on any of the migrants surging into the Big Apple — rebuffing a possible plan by the feds to use an airport in the state as a shelter.
“Putting everything else aside, I just don’t see it,” the governor said, adding migrants have already come to NJ and they are “probably coming from New York or other locations.” Rep. Jeff Van Drew, , railed against the notion, saying he would “fight [it] with every ounce of strength that we have.. “You know, when we said what was happening at the southern border was going to affect the entire United States of America, this is what happens.”Since the spring of 2022, more than 107,000 asylum seekers have come to New York City, forcing Big Apple officials to scramble to provide them with housing as required by its longstanding right-to-shelter law.
