Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, is facing a closer-than-expected re-election race against Democratic challenger Colin Allred. While Cruz currently holds a lead, recent polls show a narrowing gap, prompting concerns within the Republican Party about a potential shift in Texas’ political landscape. This development is attributed to demographic changes and the growing influence of Democratic campaigning in traditionally red states.
Democrat candidate Colin Allred, running for Senate in Texas, has been criticized for using the border wall in his campaign ads despite previously denouncing it as ‘racist.’ This comes as concerns over illegal immigration rise and other Democratic candidates, like Vice President Harris, also use the border wall in their campaigns.
Amidst the ongoing migrant crisis, Texas Democrats are distributing instruction cards to help illegal immigrants avoid law enforcement and potential deportation. The ‘Know Your Rights’ cards issued by Rep. Colin Allred, the Democratic nominee in the Texas Senate race, outline specific actions to take when encountering immigration agents, such as refusing to answer questions or sign documents, and requesting permission to leave if outside the home.
Allred’s support for these cards aligns with his previous votes against stronger border security measures. Meanwhile, Project H.O.O.D founder Pastor Corey Brooks has expressed his diminished trust in government due to the allocation of city resources towards migrants.
