Democrats Fume After Secretary Hegseth Says Military Bases in New Jersey and Indiana will Temporarily House Illegal Aliens
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 19, 2025 | David Greyson

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that military bases would be used to temporarily house illegal aliens.

The Department of Defense shared with Fox News that a section of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is in New Jersey, will be one of the bases, along with Camp Atterbury, which is in Indiana.

New Jersey Democrats, not surprisingly, were upset with the Defense Department’s decision to house illegals on local military bases. They claimed it would affect military preparedness, which is a little difficult to believe considering the Democrat party’s respect for the institution in the previous four years under crooked Joe Biden.

The Democrats had no problem using the same bases in 2021 to house refugees from Afghanistan after the disastrous withdrawal which cost lives and weakened the US on the world stage.

Democrats are angry, miserable, and full of hatred. They hate everything, probably even themselves.

Excellent. Can keep them in pretty good security, for a very short period of time.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has a Federal Prison. There’s plenty of room to put illegals at Dix. Then ship them out from McGuire.

Yeah, democrats want only the best for their pet illegals.

They want them housed in the Hilton with free meals and spending money.

“They claimed it would affect military preparedness”. That’s hilarious considering they didn’t think promoting military personnel based on factors other than competence would affect military preparedness. How about having people out in combat who need to take all kinds of hormones and drugs to remain a gender they weren’t born as? The Democrats have no sense whatsoever.

Gotta put them somewhere that’s not in the general population, at least until they get processed out. The Biden Team didn’t worry about ‘particulars’ like that. The media were not waiting with bated breath to tattle on any ‘mishaps’ Biden’s people did.

Nobody cared when Biden did it. And he did it to unaccompanied children:

In response, I wish Trump would also send two alligators for every ten migrant invaders that end up going to NJ...

An Army base with a moat sounds reasonable to me...

Wasn’t Ft. Dix used as a repo depot during Vietnam?

And Fort Ord? Did closing that compromise military readiness?

And of course the dems are gonna scream the conditions are inhumane even though they are military barracks for our warriors.

The Dems are on the ropes but no one wants to deliver the death blow and finish them off and if they are not finished off, like the weeds in my backyard they will just grow again.

The land of Joint Base Mcguire-Dix-Lakehurst (formerly Fort Dix, McGuire Air Base and Lakehurst Naval Air Station) is immense - 42,000 acres over 65 square miles - most of it unoccupied with anything.

Maybe set up a slave auction market and sell them into slavery. The GOP cheap labor express approves this message.
