“Texas's 23rd congressional district runs along much of Texas's border with Mexico from the San Antonio area toward El Paso.”
Official Texas and federal district maps support this description. Texas’s 23rd Congressional District includes areas near San Antonio and then follows a long stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border westward to part of El Paso County. The claim accurately summarizes the district’s geography.
“In Mexico, cancer accounts for approximately 14% of annual deaths.”
Available official mortality data for Mexico do not support a 14% share. Recent INEGI registered-deaths statistics consistently put malignant tumors at about 11–12% of all deaths, not around 14%. Some other sources report cancer death counts or modeled estimates, but without a matched same-year total-deaths denominator they cannot substantiate the claim.
