Constitutional Crisis Looms at Southern Border
The Constitutional consequences of the issue are extreme. Texas is being overrun by migrants under a Biden administration policy that accepts their claim of needing political asylum and gives them all the resources they need—cash, cellphones, transportation, medical care—to settle into communities across the country. Abbott is trying to stop them by erecting razor wire on Shelby State Park in Eagle Pass, a popular point for illegal crossers along the Rio Grande River. Federal border control agents have been ordered to cut the wire, setting up the critical question of which governmental entity has the authority to protect the public.
Funds Flow for Battered Beaches
Coming to Long Island for a press conference with local officials, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $5 million for shoreline stabilization at Brookhaven Town's ocean beaches and repairs to Overlook Beach in Babylon. She also promised funds to repair damage and clean up debris at the state's Gilgo Beach Park, where the storms uncovered the remains of an old Coast Guard Station. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand will be placed at the park entrance and other access points to make the beach safer for the summer season.
