Migrants Bound For NYC Routed Through N.J. Towns
ON THEIR WAY...Migrants have been coming to New Jersey from Texas on busses and are being dropped off at local train stations, such as those who arrived in Westfield before dawn on Thursday morning. The migrants are then boarding trains to New York City. Texas began sending the busses to various municipalities with train stations in December after New York City limited their ability to go directly into the city.
