Fact check: Allred gets called out on border policies

A Texas Democrat running for U.S. Senate is under scrutiny for his claims about border security.

Similar to Senate Democrats claiming to support border security, including distancing themselves from Biden-Harris administration policies, U.S. Rep. Collin Allred, D-Dallas, who’s challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says he will secure the border.

In a recent campaign ad, Allred says, “I’m working with both parties to finally secure the border, to add more border patrol agents, crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.”
