After New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) restricted bus arrivals last week in an effort to curb a surge of migrants, bus operators appear to have found a loophole by dropping migrants off at a New Jersey train station from which they can continue on into the city.

Under an executive order announced last week, Adams is requiring bus operators who are aware they are transporting migrants with fares paid for “by a third party” to provide the city with notice at least 32 hours ahead of their anticipated arrival. However, New Jersey officials say bus drivers have found a way around the new restrictions by dropping off the migrants at Secaucus Junction Train Station — about a 15-minute ride from New York City.

Tyler Jones, a spokesperson from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) office, said bus operators are also dropping off migrants at train stations throughout the state.

    If the focus of the post is about the migrants why aren’t we talking about what’s best for them? I actually think sending them from states with too many people seeking help to other states is an ok idea at face value but just randomly picking a place and sending them there isn’t the way to go about it. If they coordinated with cities all across the country it might be helpful. Also take into account where people have relatives that could help. But instead they send them to the same few places to make it a political stunt. It’s just spiteful. Why don’t they call ahead at least and be civil? These are people
