YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresidential hopeful Julián Castro has come out as a vocal critic of Section 1325, the 1929 amendment to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) that established unauthorized crossing of the border as a criminal offense. In the first round of presidential debates, Castro clashed with opponent and former Congressmember Beto O'Rourke over his refusal to call for a repeal of the 90-year-old law which he argues has been a crucial tool in president Trump's family separation initiative.
