until I read the entire article, I anticipated it saying the site of this new detention center would be the blue claws stadium. Then i realized, why would lakewood want to give up on $25k a year in rent!
“…a 2,700-bed facility…” That is not big enough to handle all the illegals in Lakewood. It should be made much larger.
why cant we do something for the people living in the woods. These are the people that are from lakewood,a lot of them born and raised in New Jersey.If we stop trying to please the Jews and treat everyone the same, because the last time i checked we are all children of God, Lakewood will be a better place.Thank you and God bless you all
at #3… sadly the Government isn’t as concerned with the homeless as every day citizens are.
i say put the detention center in the industrial park, then we can have the homeless and day laborers apply for employment.
2700 beds. Who will clean my house????
Please make it a very short term facility.
or long term depending on the severity of the offender.
2700…i hope they ment 270,000 cuz 2700 is deff not enough
