Joe Biden's new endorsement reflects battle for Latino support
https://triblive.com/news/politics-election/joe-bidens-new-endorsement-reflects-battle-for-latino-support/Joe Bidens presidential bid got a boost Monday from one of the leading Latinos in Congress, with the chairman of the Hispanic Caucus political arm endorsing the former vice president as Democrats best hope to defeat President Donald Trump.
People realize its a matter of life and death for certain communities, Rep. Tony Cárdenas, D-Calif., told The Associated Press in an interview, explaining the necessity of halting Trumps populist nationalism, hard-line immigration policies and xenophobic rhetoric that the California congressman called cruel.
Cárdenas is the chairman of Bold PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
His announcement follows presidential candidate Bernie Sanders weekend of mass rallies with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a freshman congresswoman from New York who has become a face of the progressive movement and a key supporter for the Vermont senators second White House bid.
The dueling surrogates highlight a fierce battle for the Hispanic vote between Sanders and Biden, whose campaigns each see the two candidates as the leading contenders. Biden leads the field among Democratic voters who are non-white, a group that includes Democratic voters who are Hispanic, with Sanders not far behind, according to national polling. Another top national contender, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, draws less support from non-white voters. There are few recent national polls with a sufficient sample of Hispanic Democratic voters to analyze them independently.
The dynamics also demonstrate the starkly different approaches that Biden and Sanders take to the larger campaign. Biden is capitalizing on his 36-year Senate career and two terms as Barack Obamas vice president to corral Democratic power players across the partys various demographic slices. Cárdenas joins four other Hispanic caucus members whove already backed Biden, a show of establishment support in contrast to some Latino activists whove battered Biden over the Obama administrations deportation record. Sanders, true to his long Capitol Hill tenure as an outsider and democratic socialist, eschews the establishment with promises of a political revolution, just as he did when he finished as runner-up for Democrats 2016 nomination

Could you copy and paste your cite for those of us who read the article and didn't make the same particular extrapolations you did?
Thanks!

and this little quote:
"Oh my god, there's a lot of poverty in this world, and you're going to have people from all over the world. And I don't think that's something that we can do at this point. Can't do it."
