We’ve now also heard the Spanish-language Republican response from Monica De La Cruz, a Texas representative whose district spans from San Antonio’s suburbs to the border.
In a five-minute long response posted online, De La Cruz says Biden “does not understand” US Latinos.
“President Biden tried to say everything is perfect, but we know that’s not true,” she adds.
De La Cruz also points to the “disaster” at the border, arguing that crime and drugs crossing the border has impacted US communities.
“Hispanics come to this country looking for security and liberty, and we’re worried that Biden is so weak with our enemies,” she says.
Notably, De La Cruz’s remarks show that the border is an issue that the Republican Party thinks can be a winner, including in heavily Latino communities on the US-Mexico border.
Speaking to the BBC tonight, De La Cruz says that Biden is “disconnected” with everyday Americans.
“Especially with Hispanics in my district that live along the border.”
