Warren acknowledges the struggle of the Latino community and vows to "Restore the Promise of America – AL DIA News

Since the beginning of the Democratic primary, the policies proposed by each candidate have been subject to public scrutiny, especially when minorities are involved.

The first candidate to talk about comprehensive immigration reform was former housing secretary Julian Castro, who was building on his experience as a second-generation immigrant in a country that continues to take the Hispanic community for granted.

After retiring from the race, Castro gave his support to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren in her campaign for "structural change" in the country.

Last Tuesday, Castro shared on social networks what he describes as "Elizabeth's vision for the future of our country," which combines key elements for our community: education, health, and immigration.

In an extensive and detailed document, the Warren campaign explains how the needs of Latinos, although exacerbated in the media struggle during the Trump Administration, are a much deeper issue.

FromTejano ranchers losing their land in the Southwesttostudents punished for speaking Spanish in schooltotoxic dumping in Puerto Rico, the United States has a long-history of government-sanctioned injustices against Latinos, the campaign says. Yet, at every turn in our nations history, Latinos, Latinas, and Latinx people have been at the forefront of the fight for social, racial and economic justice -- leading with bold,unwavering courage and unshakable hope.

Warren rescues iconic figures of the community such as Rafael Cordero, Sylvia Rivera, Sylvia Mendez, Dolores Huerta, and Alexandria Villaseor, and exposes them as symbols of the priorities of Hispanics in the country.

Based on this, the senator proposes:

Similarly, the Warren campaign explains how its overall projects will help close the wage and development gap experienced by Latinos and communities of color in general in the United States.

From affordable housing to bankruptcy; from childcare to disability rights, to election reform; from worker empowerment to entrepreneurship, to free education and an end to student debt, to LGBTQ+ rights Warren seems to show that, in fact, she has a plan for everything.

While candidates like South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Vice President Joe Biden have presented their promises to the Hispanic community which similarly include immigration reform, health care, housing, and education the Warren campaign seems to be taking it a step further, putting itself in the shoes of the millions of Latinos who still hope to see themselves not reflected as a demographic, but as part of the country's social fabric.
