A parade of candidates hoping to flip the Senate took the stage at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night and criticized President Joe Biden and his Democratic allies, saying they have embraced policies on crime and border security that jeopardize public safety and put American lives at risk.
“We’re losing our country,’’ said Hung Cao, a refugee from Vietnam who is running against Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine in Virginia. “Under Joe Biden, millions of illegal aliens flood our borders. They fly Hamas flags on our campuses and they shout ‘death to America.’ As an immigrant to this great country, let me be very clear to everyone who comes here. Don’t ask for the American dream if you’re not willing to obey the American laws and embrace the American culture.”
Another immigrant seeking a Senate seat, Ohio’s Bernie Moreno, struck a similar theme.
