Ted Cruz, who is running for a third term in the U.S. Senate in November, told the crowd that he “worked hand-in-hand” with Trump to secure the border.
MILWAUKEE — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said he was speaking for Jocelyn Nungaray when he used his primetime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention to warn that the country is less safe under President Joe Biden than it had been under Donald Trump . The 12-year-old Houston girl, whose death has been held up by Republican s as an example of “migrant crime” at the center of Trump’s campaign, was one of a handful of victims Cruz named Tuesday night.
These are the key Texas Republicans to watch at the RNC in Milwaukee “These aren’t just stories or statistics. They’re our daughters, our sisters, our friends,” Cruz said. “The families don’t care about the empty numbers. They care about the empty chairs at the dinner table, about the voices they’ll never hear again, about the laughter lost, and about the dreams that will never be fulfilled.” Cruz said that “every day, Americans are dying — murdered, assaulted, raped by illegal immigrants.
How Greg Abbott made the Texas border America's problem The focus on the border comes as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released data this week showing the southern border has seen the fewest crossings between ports of entry since 2021. The White House is attributing the slow down to new restrictions Biden instituted last month that shut off asylum processing when more than 2,500 migrants illegally cross into the U.S. in a single day.
Texas GOP turns focus to assassination attempt as Republican National Convention kicks off He received a much warmer reception from the crowd on Tuesday than he did during his last RNC appearance in 2016, when he was booed for refusing to endorse Trump after facing him in a nasty primary race. Trump labeled Cruz “Lyin’ Ted,” insulted his wife and suggested that his father was connected to the JFK assassination.
