Phil Murphy Says No Secret Sauce for Migrants in New Jersey: It Is Beyond Us

TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is once again touting his track record on immigration and the Garden State’s status as a bonafide sanctuary state.

Murphy has previously said no other state has done more for the immigrant population than New Jersey. He said that after the Afghanistan withdrawal and subsequent refugee crisis, the state took in thousands of refugees at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, working closely with the Biden administration and the federal government.

“It was absolutely flawless,” Murphy said.

“There’s no scenario, sadly that I see that’s similar in this case,” Murphy said. “And if I’m right, and I believe I am, sadly, it is beyond us. I don’t want lead folks on to think there’s a secret sauce that we can figure this out.”

Murphy has been criticized by his opponents who are now calling his stance on migrants hypocritical after the Biden Administration announced it could send thousands of illegal migrants to the Atlantic City airport.

The governor denounced the move saying New Jersey can’t handle the influx of migrants. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the migrant crisis will “destroy New York City” earlier this week.
