New Jersey Gov Seeks To Restrict Bus Companies Used By Greg Abbott For Migrant Transports

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy sent a letter to bus companies used by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to transport migrants, seeking to restrict their arrivals to his state.

The charter buses have been arriving in New Jersey after Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order to require they provide 32-hour notice of their arrivals and subsequently sued bus companies over the transports. Murphy asked that the bus companies provide the same amount of notice, number of passengers, location and other details regarding the transports and their arrivals and departures.

“As we continue to see more migrants arrive to our state at the hands of the Governor of Texas, who is reportedly funding the passengers’ transportation with taxpayer funds, notice to New Jersey officials in advance of these individuals’ anticipated arrival is critical to ensuring the health and safety of passengers once they arrive in New Jersey,” Murphy said in a statement Monday.

“Additionally, because we know the vast majority of these individuals are intending to travel to New York City, this information will be shared with our colleagues across the Hudson to ensure the passengers’ health and safety there,” Murphy added.

Well, it’s softer than the others, without all the threats, but, I’m wondering, by what right does SSNJ think they can dictate these terms for a private charter? And why should anyone notify SSNJ, when border states are not notified? Or all the small towns around the country who are the recipients of illegals/migrants dropped off by the Biden Regime?
