Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) has been chosen to deliver the \u200bSpanish-language Republican rebuttal to President\u2063 Joe Biden&#8217;s State of the Union address on Thursday. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced her \u2064selection, praising her as a true embodiment of the American dream.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Sadly, that dream is slipping away after three years of an open border, runaway inflation, and a\u200b nation inviting aggression and projecting \u2064weakness on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-us-department-of-state-issues-warnings-this-morning-the-chinese-communist-party-poses-a-real-threat\/\" title=\"BREAKING: US Department of State Issues Warnings This Morning \u2013 \u201cThe Chinese Communist Party Poses a Real Threat\u201d\">world stage<\/a>,&#8221; Johnson expressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2022, De La Cruz made history as the first woman, first \u2064Latina,\u200c and first \u2064Republican to represent Texas&#8217;s 15th Congressional District. Raised by a single mother in Brownsville, she has deep family roots in \u200bthe Rio Grande Valley,\u200d which inspired her \u2062to \u200drun for \u2064office.<\/p>\n<p>De La Cruz passionately stated, \u2062&#8221;The American Dream has been \u2064a nightmare since 2021, with an open border, inflation that&#8217;s through the roof, \u200cfentanyl killing our sons and \u200bdaughters, and \u200ca president who is out of\u200d touch. I am proud to represent the House Republicans tomorrow night and \u2064deliver the Spanish language response to my fellow\u2062 Hispanics.\u200d I understand their struggle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Border security, the economy, and immigration are expected to be key points of contention\u200d in Biden&#8217;s State of the \u200bUnion address. Republicans, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), have already decided to boycott the\u2062 event.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;American sovereignty is in decline,&#8221; Johnson emphasized. &#8220;You&#8217;ve heard us lament the\u2064 border. The southern border is a total catastrophe. There&#8217;s no other way to describe that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Border security remains a top concern for voters heading \u200dinto the 2024 election, particularly in states like Arizona and Texas. De\u200d La \u200bCruz&#8217;s victory in the primary election has positioned her \u200das the first\u2062 GOP representative for the once-Democratic stronghold of Texas&#8217;s 15th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What impact \u2063does offering a Spanish-language response to\u200c President\u200c Biden&#8217;s State\u200d of the Union address have on the inclusion and engagement of Spanish-speaking Americans in \u2063the political\u2062 conversation?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064 Of the \u2064Union Address<\/h2>\n<p>On February 10th,\u2064 2022, \u2063history will be made as Rep.

De La \u2062Cruz to\u2063 address her party&#8217;s\u2063 viewpoint but also an opportunity to highlight\u2064 the \u200dRepublican\u2062 Party&#8217;s platform on crucial issues \u200bsuch as immigration,\u200b economic\u2062 policy, and\u200d healthcare.\u2062 It offers her a platform to \u200bexpress Republican perspectives \u200dthrough the lens of her \u2062personal experiences \u2064and the \u200cconcerns \u2062of the Spanish-speaking community.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, \u2064the\u200b Hispanic vote has become increasingly sought after \u200dby both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/canadian-parliament-votes-unanimously-to-recognize-chinas-genocide\/\" title=\"Canadian Parliament Votes Unanimously To Recognize China\u2019s Genocide\">major political parties<\/a>.\u2064 The Hispanic \u2062population is one \u2064of the \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dc-area-police-department-turns-to-puerto-rico-to-alleviate-officer-recruiting-shortages\/\" title=\"DC Police Department seeks help from Puerto Rico to address officer recruitment shortages.\">fastest-growing demographics<\/a> in the United States, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-the-south-northeast-u-s-no-longer-leader-contributing-to-nations-gdp\/\" title=\"Northeast U.S. no longer leads in contributing to nation's GDP in the South.\">significant political influence<\/a> in\u200c key states.
