bipartisan border packageThe Texas Tribune

U.S. Rep. Colin Allred wants to paint Sen. Ted Cruz as an obstructionist on the border.
Allred is running ads that call himself “tough” and embrace a mix of proposals bolstering border security and expanding pathways to legal status.
Cruz , who is also making immigration the linchpin of his campaign, says he's trying to have it both ways.
But Allred faces an uphill climb shaking his party's brand among Texas voters, who have said they trust Republicans over Democrats .
Allred said he has made it clear when he supports Biden ’s border policies.
Cruz 's campaign called the vote “cowardly flip-flopping” after Allred had “consistently voted with his party for reckless border policies that benefit the undocumented, while weakening our country and its borders".
A study by the Cato Institute , a libertarian think tank, found that migrants who entered the country illegally are convicted of homicide in Texas at lower rates than native-born residents.
There do not appear to be any data showing a recent uptick in the rate of violent crime among undocumented immigrants.
Allred has sought to refocus attention on Cruz ’s border record, questioning whether his hawkish stances have produced results.
