“We must rewrite our immigration laws in our own image, to reflect communities like this one here in Los Angeles, like El Paso, like this country,” O'Rourke said at his inaugural campaign rally in California.
Presidential candidate Beto O'Rouke greets a supporter after a rally at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College Saturday.
Since announcing his candidacy last month, the former Texas congressman who last year unsuccessfully challenged Ted Cruz for his U.S. Senate seat has campaigned in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. On Friday, he came to Los Angeles Trade-Tech to kick off a days-long visit to California that will include a stop in San Francisco, multiple appearances in the Central Valley, and a town hall in San Diego on Tuesday morning.
Speaking to hundreds of supporters hours after a shooter attacked a Jewish synagogue in suburban San Diego County, O’Rourke began his 20-minute speech by offering prayers for the victims and a vigorous call for gun control. “When he describes Klansmen, neo-Nazis and white supremacists as ‘very fine people,’ when he conflates the words of a Muslim member of Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar, with the attackers of 9/11, when he describes Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, and asylum seekers as animals and an infestation, he is giving a license not just to offend but to act against one another.
