Atlantic City, NJ - Today, Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement on reports that President Biden is offering the Atlantic City, NJ airport to house illegal immigrants who are currently located in New York City. 

"President Biden and his administration have continually refused to enforce our nation's rule of law. Instead of securing our southern border, the administration is spending taxpayer dollars to fly illegal immigrants across the country to areas that simply do not have the want or resources to house them. This is their mess, they deal with it and leave South Jersey out of it," said Congressman Van Drew. "Americans are struggling enough as it is to afford basic necessities, and now, rather than dealing with the problem, President Biden is destroying cities by overpopulating them with the influx of illegal immigrants. Just yesterday, 7,000 migrants crossed our southern border. This is completely out of hand and South Jersey will not be responsible for dealing with this administration's failures. I call on Governor Murphy to unequivocally reject this proposal."
