Four buses of migrants arrived at the Secaucus Junction train station yesterday, Mayor Michael Gonnelli said, stating these are the “unexpected consequences” of a stringent executive order implemented by New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Yesterday morning, the Secaucus Police Department and town officials received word from the Hudson County Executive’s Office that several busses, a total of four, transporting migrants in route for New York had arrived at the train station at Secaucus Junction.
According to Gonnelli, local officials were informed that after being dropped at the train station, the migrants then took trains to New York City.
“It seems quite clear the bus operators are finding a way to thwart the requirements of the Executive Order by dropping migrants at the train station in Secaucus and having them continue to their final destination”, Gonnelli said in a statement.
“Perhaps the requirements Mayor Adams put in place are too stringent and are resulting in unexpected consequences as it seems the bus operators have figured out a loophole in the system in order to ensure the migrants reach their final destination, which is New York City. Based on reports from the State Police this is now happening at train stations throughout the state.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently signed an Executive Order regulating how and when busses carrying migrants can enter the city and drop off passengers.
These regulations, in part, require bus operators to advise the Commissioner of Emergency Management at least thirty-two (32) hours advanced notice before arriving and limit drop off times to weekdays only between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and noon.
Violators are subject to fines and impounding of their bus.
“I have been advised the State of New Jersey has a plan in place and we will be working closely with the Governor’s office, all law enforcement agencies, and the County to monitor this situation,” Gonnelli added.
“At this point in time it seems train tickets are being secured for the migrants and they have been making their way to their final destination. We will continue to monitor this situation closely.”
This is wonderful news! I stand with these poor asylum seeking dreamers who had no choice but to flee from Venezuelan prisons, Ecuadorian gangs, and Russia, China, and Indias oppression of gay rights and gender expression.
Mayor Bhalla’s first act was to make Hoboken a sanctuary city so I sure hope we get some of these dreamers soon! And we also a *book* sanctuary now – which BY NO MEANS was a Boris Johnson “model bus” SEO tactic to bury the fact that we are 100% open to illegal aliens in Hoboken – so they are free to bring their socialist manifestos or borrow ours from the amazing Hoboken Pubic Library. We also have two social workers who are here and probably do stuff, a COVID-hardened Nixle death counter / Bhalla propaganda channel, and a non-enforced citywide 20 mph speed limit which has saved *probably definitely* 648 lives in the past year alone.
Message to NYC’s Mayor Adams and all of Hudson County: Hoboken stands with you! Please come to our welcoming city! We will offer you free accommodation at the W Hotel, unlimited overrated cinnamon buns from the Hive, and your very own Slingshot to share your festive Latin music up and down Washington Street!
This is going to be so much fun! We can’t wait to have you!!!
Governor Abbott is a jerk for sending you poor DACAdoodles on such a long bus ride, but we are here now for you – assuming you’re OK with a seemingly ever-increasing homeless population! We try to help those people but many are veterans who fought in wars with – get this – *guns* and some even vote Republican! Yeah, no thanks!
Dream big!
Did Ravi and Little Emily go pick up a busload for Hoboken as they deemed our town a “Sanctuary City?”
Why not? Their disgraceful anti-American support of this illegal invasion has brought this to NJ. They need to answer for it!
Good! Keep em coming. Gov Abbott is complying with NYC, Chicago and Denver wishes to be sanctuary cities. What’s the problem? When Trump tried to control the border, the Dems called him a Nazi. Now these same Dems complain about being overwhelmed. Too funny.
We need to stop calling them “migrants” or “Asylum seekers” What they are is “Criminal Freeloaders” nothing more…… Deport every single one of them……. And they should “never” be able to come legally ever again….. And they should never be permitted to come back to our country again. Obviously they have no regards for “our” laws.
Who’s buying them the train tickets? Who’s enabling them? This isn’t compassion, this is degrading the quality of life in the county. But hey, you voted for sanctuary city politicians, you get what you deserve.
Yo, elected leaders: This is how people will vote Republican.
