Congresista de este distrito. Veamos.

Representante gracias por estar con nosotros en línea de fuego. Representante acabamos de llegar de corpus christi.

La gente está muy molesta. Está muy preocupada, especialmente con el tema migratorio, tema migratorio que ha implementado el presidente donald trump, republicano como usted, cuando usted escucha su comunidad, recibe lo que le dice.

Qué le responde? Understand what a tremendous effect, this is ad on our community immigrants play a large role in the success and the economics of south texas that being said in it is under the white house and under the administration.

I have been extremely clear with leadership and i have told them that in forcément should focus on the cartels and the criminals not hardworking families trying to navigate the complex immigration system. I have been very active when it comes to immigration.

I have sponsored the bipartisan. Dignity act which is the most comprehensive peace of legislation that the house has put out.

I've also created the point program and also created legislation to help our daca kids as well. El reto de mónica de la cruz, como lo es el de todos los representantes republicanos en el sur del estado de texas, es poder mantener la ventaja que donald trump en las elecciones presidenciales en estas elecciones de medio término en 20 24, el presidente trump ganó con el 56% de los votos emitidos en texas versus el 42% que obtuvo kamala harris.

Immigration enforcement by the whitehouse has had an economic effect in our communities and let's be honest. There are lots of immigrants trying to navigate this process and what that ultimately means for families right here in south texas.

Is that things such as housing and food farming. It becomes more expensive and right now.

Affordability is the number one issue for families. I'm a single mom of kids and i know what it's like to go to the store and worry about your paycheck lasting till the end of the month.

These are real issues that are affecting families right here in south, texas. Representante por qué cree usted que la comunidad hispana en esta oportunidad, en las elecciones de medio término, no estaría apoyando tanto a los republicanos como sí lo hicieron durante las elecciones y lo hicieron a favor del presidente donald trump.

I think that. The people of south, texas.

They are hard working blue collar people here who work very hard during the day. They want to feel safe when they take their children to the local playground or ride their bikes in the street.

But what they also believe is that they're lots of people. They know such as a lawn person or a housekeeper or a farmworker.

That's really having a challenging time navigating the immigration process. I've been at the forefront of helping many many families successfully through the immigration process.

I'm going to share just one case with you and received national headlines, and that is the story of the mariachi voice. Who were reunited with their family.

That is something that i called a washington d. C.

I talked to them about this case. We immediately found a solution and we're able to reunite this family.

That's what having a seat at the table actually gets south texas. When i call washington d.

C. They pick up the phone.

Uno de los temas característicos de este el distrito 15 en la redistribución del distrito. Cómo terminó redibujado?

Debido a lo determinado por la corte suprema, algo que evidentemente no salió como lo esperaban. Representante qué efecto real tuvo esto de redibujar los distritos electorales?

Cómo? Cómo la está afectando?

Porque acabamos de hacer un viaje de 02:30 entre mcallen y corpus christi para poder hablar con su rival. Y ese es el recorrido que están teniendo que hacer ustedes.

Esto le salió bien a los republicanos o no? The district actually spanish six and a half hour the redistricting has been challenging and the reason is because my opponent bobby pulido comes from a politically cropped dynasty.

Compadre. System down here in south.

Mesas ruled out. South texas.

Community families. Like we have made millions of dollars off the backs of hardworking people here in south texas.

When i was elected . I broke up that, compadre.

System of his families in fact they were booted out of. Office and that's what i believe that come november that the people of south texas are going to say no to him leading our community because they do not want to go back to that, compadre.

System, this selection isn't about who you want performing at your niches. Que menciona a bobby pulido?

Y sobre el comentario que usted hizo de que él simplemente era un cantante de quinceañeras. Y él asegura que ese comentario y que usted lo haya señalado como una persona que solamente canta para quinceañeras, le ha ayudado a cantarle a muchas quinceañeras y a realizar eventos para quinceañeras.

Es esto algo que terminó siendo negativo, que jugó en contra de usted? You asked me that question quinceañeras are a beautiful part of our roots and our history right here in south texas and i have attended many quinceañeras.

I will share this with you. Is that he is a silver spoon celebrity.

He is a latin grammy award. Winner his father es legendario.

The one musician as well in fact that he's never stepped foot in a grocery store. That's not the way people here in south texas are i'm a mother of two.

I you can find me vine tamales at the grocery store on a saturday afternoon. There could be a bigger difference between bobby pulido and his politically correct family and myself a hard working mother that comes from immigrants who farmed this land picking melones.

Esta zona del país es una de las más pobres, por lo tanto cada movimiento económico los afecta de manera determinante el bolsillo de la gente en esta zona de los estados unidos ha sido especialmente golpeado por el tema de irán, los aranceles y la política migratoria del presidente trump. Usted cómo les explica a las personas esto de la guerra en irán y de lo que significa para los bolsillos de su población?

Is the number one issue right here in south texas hispanics tend to have bigger families that means more mounts to feed. What that equals is a bigger bill at the grocery store.

So when prices rise when gasoline rises that affects our families right here in south texas. This is a real concern and there's a lot of work to still do right here when it comes to affordability.

What i can tell you is. This is that i have past legislation such as tax on tips for the waitress working in the restaurant down the street no tax on overtime for a brave law enforcement officers protecting our community no tax on social.

Purity for all of the abuelitos out there who are living on their social security check this has made a tremendous difference to earth working families and
