Martin Walsh, Conservative Brief: Two Texas Democrat Judges Switch To Republican Party
Two life-long Democrats recently announced they will be running for re-election as Republicans, in part, because of the worsening border crisis under President Joe Biden.
Terrell County Judge Dale Carruthers and Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara — two females in Texas border communities — voiced frustration with Biden’s border policies destroying their small communities.
“The single reason they switched parties, they say, is because the Biden administration’s policies led to more than 2 million people coming through the southern border from over 150 countries. The costs of crime stemming from an open border – increased trafficking and smuggling of people, weapons, and guns – to their communities has prompted them to say, “enough is enough” and do something about it,” Blankley wrote.
Carruthers said, “I come from a Hispanic heritage, which was prominently Democrat. The chaos at the border and everything that’s been going on make me realize that I needed to switch parties. I am very happy to be a Republican and to represent this great state of Texas as a judge.”
“I’ve been a Democrat since 1992,” Guevara said. “I’ve always ran as a Democrat and this is my first year to run as a Republican. I’m very grateful for Gov. Abbott for all he has done for Texas and continues to do for Texas, especially with our border crisis.”
Are principles at stake? or survival? Both, but a strong case can be made that moving to the Republican party is a matter of principles. The borders have been open since Biden took office, and the situation only gets worse as the months go by. This, in spite of the fact that fentanyl overdose is a leading cause of death in Americans age 18 to 45. With illegal aliens streaming across our southern border in numbers approaching 200,000 per month, there is no possible way that this is not deliberate. I am shocked and dismayed that more Democrats aren't switching to the Republican party.
