00:00Hello, Milwaukee!
00:10On behalf of the great state of Texas, it is an honor to be with you tonight.
00:28I am the proud granddaughter of Mexican farm workers who came here with little more than
00:36faith in God.
00:38They never had much money, but they instilled in us strong Texas values.
00:48They taught me that through hard work, anything is possible in America.
00:56And then, I proved it.
00:58By getting myself through school and building a successful small business, it wasn't easy,
01:06but I'm living proof that the American dream, el sueño americano, can become reality.
01:23Only in America can a little girl from South Texas go from watching her abuelo pick watermelons
01:32to serving in the people's house.
01:41Now as a mother, I often think about my kids' future, and I'm worried the American dream
01:49is slipping away.
01:51Joe Biden and Kamala Harris make it impossible for hardworking Americans, like the people
01:58in my community, to get ahead.
02:01Their policies put homeownership out of reach.
02:05Wages can't keep up with inflation.
02:08They give benefits to illegal immigrants and cut Medicare Advantage for our seniors.
02:21They say their immigration policies are compassionate, but there's nothing compassionate about open
02:29borders.
02:30They threaten our national security, flood our country with deadly drugs, killing our
02:37precious children.
02:40Biden and Harris don't care about immigrants, they just use them for political gain.
02:47We deserve so much better.
02:51We must make America strong again by re-electing President Trump.
03:05Under his leadership, we can put hardworking Americans first again, end this border crisis.
03:11We can restore peace and prosperity, creating an amazing future with endless possibilities,
03:19and we can rebuild the most vital institution of all, the American family.
03:34Together, we can turn Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' national nightmare into a revival
03:43of the American dream.
03:50Thank you, Milwaukee.
03:51Good night.
