U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz on Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention said she was proud of being the granddaughter of Mexican farmworkers, using the national platform to tell a familiar Valley story while attacking President Joe Biden over immigration and border policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De La Cruz, R-McAllen, took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to deliver her remarks after former President Donald Trump was nominated earlier this week by the Republican Party and prior to Ohio Sen. JD Vance officially accepting the role as Trump\u2019s vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
