Bernie
Sanders has hired Dreamer and immigration law activist César Vargas,
according to Univision who broke the news on Thursday. He revealed some
of his personal connections
with Sanders and additional circumstances that drew him to work on his
campaign.
“Like me, Sanders is originally from Brooklyn; we even studied at the same high school,” he told Univision.
It’s
hard to overstate Vargas’ place in the Dreamer activist community. Many
dreamers have fought to make it through undergraduate programs without
legal permission or
government loans. Vargas fought all the way through law school, and
even trounced haters at the New York Bar Association, becoming the first
immigrant in the country to legally practice law in that state.
He's
also Co-Founder of the Dream Action Coalition, a respected advocacy
organization. Now, he’s competing with fellow Dreamers who have endorse
Sanders’ rivals, arguing
that he is the best choice for the democratic nomination.
“I
think that Senator [Sanders] took a step further than the rest,” he
told Univision. “No only did he meet with Dreamers because they are good
people, as Hillary Clinton
has said, but he also included us in his team in order to make sure
that his platform includes the issues and the needs of our community.”
