Cornyn Urges DHS to Hear Texas Concerns Before Big Bend Border Barrier Construction
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Senator John Cornyn has urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to engage with Texas stakeholders before further constructing 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 a bipartisan group of local sheriffs, county judges, landowners, and park advocates. They argue that the region's natural geography already deters unauthorized crossings and express worries about potential environmental and cultural impacts of new barriers. Cornyn emphasized the need for direct discussions with local officials before any construction moves forward.
