The 2020 hopeful is making immigration reform a centerpiece of her campaign.
On Wednesday, the 2020 contender will introduce legislation with Sens. Dick Durbin and Catherine Cortez-Masto that would make Dreamers eligible to work as staffers or interns in Congress. It’s the latest move by the California Democrat to seize on an issue that her rival Beto O’Rourke has made his calling card — and to advocate for a Democratic constituency that’s often reduced to a congressional bargaining chip.
Trump’s relentless focus on immigration has given Democrats an early opening to try to distinguish themselves beyond the usual support for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, individuals who are undocumented and arrived to the United States as children. Julián Castro, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, on Tuesday outlined his own plan for immigration reform, which his campaign described as “first-in-the-field.
Castro, the former San Antonio mayor, said he plans to appear at a rally opposite a Trump fundraiser in his city next Wednesday. “This is the bottom line,” he said. “We led the blue wave in 2018, so 2020 candidates would be foolish to treat Latinos as an afterthought.”
