Monica De La Cruz flips Texas border district red, says voters support law enforcement and legal immigration
Fox News
Congresswoman-elect Monica De La Cruz joined "The Faulkner Focus" to discuss her win in a Democratic South Texas congressional district.
"Nobody down here in South Texas wants to see these illegal immigrants exploited by the cartels. We see it on a daily basis and nobody wants that. Not for the immigrants. And we also want to protect and we want to honor the hard work of our brave Border Patrol men and women who are on the front lines." Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.
De La Cruz narrowly beat her Democratic opponent Michelle Vallejo in the race for the newly-drawn 15th Congressional District in Texas, The Associated Press projected, marking a key win for the GOP in a race where border security was a top campaign issue.
