· Texas Border Business
U.S. Senator John Cornyn has urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to engage with Texas stakeholders before advancing construction of border barriers in Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. In a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Cornyn highlighted concerns from local sheriffs, judges, landowners, and park advocates about the impact of barriers on the area's geography, environment, and economy. He emphasized that the natural landscape already deters illegal crossings and requested that federal officials meet with local leaders to address these issues before any further construction occurs.
