SUMMARY: A December AP-NORC poll indicates that immigration has become a top priority for Americans ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to office, with nearly half of respondents highlighting border issues, a significant increase from the previous year. While Republicans largely support stricter immigration policies, including a border wall, Democrats focus more on the economy, with healthcare and political issues as second priorities. Young adults under 30 prioritize economic concerns like inflation and housing, showing less emphasis on immigration than older generations.

SUMMARY: South Florida is still recovering from a week of severe flooding that made roads nearly impassable, stalled cars, and forced people to wade through water. In Hollywood, upgraded flood pumps and drainage systems helped subside water levels quickly, preventing damage to homes. However, in North Miami, residents along 141st Street report ongoing issues with backed-up drains and street flooding, which disrupt daily life, including doctor visits. The city claims the flooding is due to long tides rather than clogged drains and asserts the area has been checked. Concerns remain about the area’s vulnerability without further drainage maintenance.

Parts of South Florida are still drying out from the deluge of rain storms last week.
