The consequences of Joe Biden’s open border policy continue to impact the entirety the country.
Get this, Save Jerseyans:
The Murphy Administration is weighing using the abandoned Hagedorn Psychiatric Hospital located in Hunterdon County to house illegal aliens. The facility was closed during the Christie years, but it could soon be a temporary home to hundreds or even thousands of illegals in the Garden State.
Local officials are strongly objecting to the potential move.
“New Jersey communities are already stretched too thin as it is and now risk being overwhelmed because of President Biden’s blatant disregard for the immigration crisis and Governor Murphy’s sanctuary state policies,” said State Senator Doug Steinhardt. “We’ve seen the immense burden this issue has caused in New York because of their inaction, and it is only a matter of time until that burden is placed on our municipalities as made clear by the state’s attempt to place undocumented migrants in Hunterdon County. The impractical and illegal placement of undocumented migrants, especially in areas that lack the infrastructure, restricts services that our constituents rely on and I will continue to advocate against that approach. It’s time the president and governor do their jobs and address this emergency before it’s too late.”
Murphy’s plan was first announced by Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners Director Jeff Kuhl.
“The state’s possible plan to locate undocumented migrants at the former Hagedorn Psychiatric Hospital in rural Hunterdon County is not the right solution for the state,” said Kuhl in a release.
“This action has the potential to overwhelm public health and human service capabilities administered by Hunterdon County. Despite assurances to the contrary, such a move will likely overwhelm local resources in the area, including volunteer fire and EMS agencies. In addition, there are no mass transit facilities located nearby the former Hagedorn Psychiatric Hospital, which is located a top of a mountain, surrounded by forest.”
