Cruz anticipates 4 more Hispanic women in Congress
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) believes the four Republican Hispanic women running for Congress in South Texas and Virginia will win their competitive races in the midterms and join Republicans in calling for more border security next Congress.
Cruz, speaking at a press conference Wednesday about the border, gave his prediction one day after former police officer Yesli Vega, a Salvadoran American, won a tight primary race in Virginia and one week after now-Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) saw a historic special election win in Texas’s 34th District.
“Let me just give a moment of hope,” Cruz said as he praised Flores — who he said “has seen firsthand the horrors of open borders” — for winning a heavily Hispanic district that Democrats had represented for about 150 years.
Flores, who is married to a Border Patrol agent, is running alongside Republicans Monica De La Cruz and Cassy Garcia in the three most southern districts of the Lone Star State. Republicans have targeted all three border districts as winnable this November despite two of them leaning blue.

This movement by Hispanic voters appears to be a real threat to Democrat dominance of the border districts. That is a good sign for America.
