"No matter how hard he tries to hide his radical record, his promises to destroy America's border security and the years he's spent fighting for dangerous, open borders policies speak for themselves," Griffin said.
Allred has said he wants to "surge resources" to help Border Patrol. However, he has consistently opposed efforts to ban sanctuary cities, supported a pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. and opposed multiple pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.

Allred launched his campaign for the Senate last May and vastly outraised his Democrat primary opponents. He recently defeated a field of challengers to take on Cruz in the general election.

Allred's general election matchup against Cruz will likely pose a more formidable challenge, considering that the border and illegal immigration are among the top issues that concern voters in the Lone Star state, which continues to bear the brunt of the migrant crisis that's worsened under the Biden administration.
