If there are people who have committed serious felonies in the United States who are immigrants or who come to the border, I have always consistently said that—that those people should be apprehended, that they should be deported.

Julian Castro
Julián Castro ( hoo-lee-AHN, Spanish pronunciation: [xuˈljan]; born September 16, 1974) is an American Democratic politician who served as the 16th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama from 2014 to 2017. Castro served as the mayor of his native San Antonio, Texas from 2009 until he joined Obama's cabinet in 2014. He was mentioned as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. 2Early life and family Julián Castro was born in San Antonio, Texas, the son of Maria "Rosie" Castro and Jessie Guzman. He is the identical twin brother of current United States Representative Joaquín Castro; Julián is one minute older than Joaquín, being born at 2:40AM and 2:41AM respectively. His mother was a Chicana political activist who helped establish the Chicano political party La Raza Unida, and who ran unsuccessfully for the San Antonio City Council in 1971. Castro once stated, "My mother is probably the biggest reason that my brother and I are in public service. Growing up, she would take us to a lot of rallies and organizational meetings and other things that are very boring for an 8-, 9-, 10-year-old". His father, Jessie Guzman, is a retired mathematics teacher and political activist. Never married, Rosie and Jessie separated when Castro and his brother were eight years ol
I don't have an issue with maintaining a secure border. We're always going to do that. What I have an issue with is separating little children from their parents.
You know I'm not somebody—like a lot of Americans I'm not somebody that likes to use that term or that is quick to call somebody a racist. I think you have to be very careful before you use that word. However, this president has shown us time and time again from the way that he started his campaign,…
He`s moving this nation backward in a very tangible way and making life more difficult not only for the four Congresswomen, certainly for them, but also for school children that are out there that may be black or they may be Muslim or maybe Latino or Asian-American.
The whole system is broken, and we need a plan to fix it. That`s what my police reform plan would do by increasing transparency and accountability, setting a national use of force standard that says that lethal force should only be used if an officer has exhausted all other reasonable alternatives…
His behavior and his comments are disgusting they are racist. We have not seen at least in the last 50 years, a politician who has made his career as successfully as Donald Trump by trying to divide Americans along racial, ethnic, and religious lines.
We saw on video that the officer engaged in excessive force against Eric Garner, that he used a choke maneuver that is not supposed to be used by NYPD. He did that for seven seconds it was clear what he was doing. Mr. Garner said 11 different times that he couldn`t breathe, and so this officer had…
It is astonishing that this president still has not released his taxes, even though he said at one point that he would and then he said he was under audit. Now it's gone so far that Congress is looking for those tax returns, and I hope they get them, because it's clear that he has something to hide.
You know, I grew up with a grandmother who came from Mexico when she was 7 years old with her little sister because their parents had died. And they came across the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, ended up in the west side of San Antonio. She worked her whole life as a maid, a cook, and a babysitter,…
The cruelty of this administration never seems to end. You know, a year ago, this administration told us that as Americans if we would just be cruel enough to separate little children from their parents that that would deter more families from coming to our southern border and, in fact, the opposite…
