As the measles outbreak continues to rage across Rockland County, Ed Day, the county executive, has written to President Donal Trump requesting that all foreign visitors be required to be fully immunized before entering the country. Since October of last year when seven infected travelers from Israel visited Rockland County there have been 233 cases of measles reported. Day said the request only makes sense in his effort to stop the spread of the disease.

Engel Drawing Up Trump Foreign Policy Oversight As House Foreign Affairs Committee
Back to the USSR. When it comes to foreign policy -- especially Russia -- New York Congressman Eliot Engel clashes with President Trump. Engel (D - parts of Westchester and the Bronx), who is the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s ranking member, said Trump is sending the wrong message -- that NATO is divided and unwilling to react-- just when Russian President Vladimir Putin is testing its resolve by seizing three Ukrainian ships. Engel, likely to become committee chairman when the House comes under Democratic control in January, called for a unified and forceful response from the U.…
