Texas Democrat taking on Ted Cruz dismissed border as ‘right wing echo chamber’ issue amid 2022 migrant crisis

   

“I’m Colin Allred. Fentanyl is flooding into our country. Our border is broken, and so are our politics. To fix it, we have to go after the cartels and fix the border,” Allred says in the ad. “But we’ve got to do it in a way that upholds our values. Values passed down from my grandfather – a customs officer in Brownsville. I stood up to Joe Biden on the border and to extremists like Ted Cruz, who prefer chaos to real solutions. I’m Colin Allred. I’m running for Senate to fix this problem.”
