Sanders’ Aide: Latinos Worried About ‘Consistency’ of Hillary

DÍAZ-BALART: “Who do you think really is — what do you think it takes to get to the Latino community? What is it that the Latino community maybe wants to see that it is not seeing in candidates like Trump?”

VARGAS: “Right now I’m traveling across the country, especially in Nevada and a lot of Latino states. There’s one consistency that really matters with Latinos is — they want a candidate who is consistent on their principles, their consistent on their policies and you know, a commitment to actually helping the community with respect but with real policies. And you know, there is no candidate that fits the description than Bernie Sanders. He has been committed on really creating an economy that works for everyone, regardless of immigration standard, regardless of color and not just for billionaires. So, at this point Bernie Sanders is the candidate who has been consistent, especially on immigration, especially on the economy. And unlike, you know, unlike Hillary Clinton, he hasn’t changed his position due to unfavorable climate, so, I think at this point we’ll see him.”

DÍAZ-BALART: “What do you mean by that, Cesar. What do you think — what do you mean by — that unlike Hillary Clinton? I mean, Hillary Clinton has been for immigration reform, it’s pretty clear on that. I mean, what do you mean?”

VARGAS: “Well listen, the reality is that when it comes to especially just immigration reform, Senator Bernie Sanders has been committed on providing a path to citizenship. Providing just — he just released his immigration platform that was — is  one of the boldest immigration platforms out there. You know, Bernie Sanders has really committed to respecting. Hillary Clinton just say illegal immigrant just a few days ago, even though she just apologized. So, the reality is that Bernie Sanders right now is the candidate who has been consistent and hasn’t changed his position just because when it comes to something unfavorable of political climate. You know, and she — you know when it came to drivers license for dreamers in New York state, she opposed it, then she changed in favorable of that position. So, you know, we’re tired of Donald Trump, but we’re also tired of inconsistent candidates who are not championing our issues.”
