According to recent reports, the administration of Vice President Joe Biden has allegedly proposed a list of prospective relocation sites, one of which being the Atlantic City International Airport, which is located in the state of New Jersey. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Republican from New Jersey, has voiced strong opposition to this idea and vowed to fight it in an aggressive manner. He attacked the way in which the Biden administration handled border policies, arguing that the implications reach well beyond the states that border the country and are a worry for national defense.
Van Drew underlined that the immigration problem is not limited to particular states but rather impacts the entirety of the United States as a whole. He also emphasized the relevance of the FAA technical center and the F-16s that are situated in South Jersey, highlighting the role that they play in the national defense of the United States.
According to Bloomberg, the administration of Vice President Joe Biden reportedly recommended 11 federally-owned properties as prospective destinations for migrants departing New York City. These options include diverse locales in the New York metropolitan region.
