February 4, 2021 the Honorable Alejandro Mayorkas U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Mayor
February 4, 2021 The Honorable Alejandro Mayorkas U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Mayorkas: We write to express our concern at the recent Executive Orders signed by President Biden regarding immigration and border security. These Executive Orders, as well as recent actions taken by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), will weaken the integrity of our immigration system and encourage aliens to make the dangerous journey to our southern border and attempt to enter the United States illegally. The decision to halt construction of the border wall system, the decision to suspend enrolling aliens in the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), and the attempt to suspend deportations all send a message to aliens that the Biden Administration is not serious about border security or enforcing our immigration laws. These actions, coupled with Democrats’ repeated talk of amnesty, will be a magnet for illegal immigration and will encourage aliens to place their safety in the hands of criminal organizations to try to reach the United States. This is not good for the aliens or the United States. We urge you to resist the calls of the open borders advocates and to continue to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress, continue MPP and the Asylum Cooperative Agreements, and resume construction of the border wall system. We hope that as you examine the policies that were enacted by the Trump Administration in an impartial manner you will come to realize the wisdom behind the policies and will work to refine them when necessary instead of rescinding them and returning to policies of open borders and catch and release.

For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

The Grand Strand Expressway
The Grand Strand Expressway An Alternative to the Proposed I‐73 to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Prepared for South Carolina Coastal Conservation League Prepared By: P O Box 750 16 Beaver Meadow Rd #3 Norwich, VT 05055 802‐649‐5422 [email protected] 25 March 2011 The Grand Strand Expressway A Fiscally and Environmentally Responsible Alternative to I73 Highway in South Carolina Introduction The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has been advancing the construction of a new interstate highway, I‐73, between the Rockland NC bypass and Myrtle Beach. There are two Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) that evaluate the impacts of this new freeway for the northern (north of I‐95) and southern (I‐95 to SC 22) sections. While the southern section of I‐73, from I‐95 to the Myrtle Beach area, is the highest priority, both sections are the subject of wetlands permitting. In this report, the primary focus is on evaluating alternatives for the southern, higher priority section of I‐73. However, there is also discussion of the northern section of I‐73 in South Carolina, and of the corridor as a whole. The proposed I‐73 Interstate Highway connecting I‐95 with the Myrtle Beach area will be a costly project, and result in environmental impacts to the region’s fragile wetlands ecosystem and other aquatic and terrestrial resources. The EIS identified greater connectivity between I‐95 and Myrtle Beach as a primary need for this project, but only examined a new interstate highway as the solution. However, there are numerous variations of roadway design that could be applied to the same purpose which could greatly reduce the costs and environmental impacts.
