The one thing former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro said he learned in the Obama administration is integrity.Castro went on to praise former President Barack Obama and his family for leading with"grace and class."
“I support making a requirement by statute. Congress passing a law that requires people who are running for president to submit 10 years of their tax returns,” Castro said. “It is astonishing that this President still has not released his taxes, even though he said, at one point, that he would.” Trump declining to release his tax returns had made the issue key in the 2020 Democratic nomination process, with a series of candidates either releasing or pledging to release their taxes.Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro rebuffed President Trump’s immigration rhetoric, arguing that the country can “have a secure border” and “maintain that security,” while also being compassionate.
Castro unveiled an extensive immigration plan earlier this month that would roll back a series of laws implemented under Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump. Castro was the first candidate in the crowded 2020 Democratic field to unveil a detailed immigration plan, putting him out in front on an issue that Trump made central to his 2016 campaign and plans to again champion in his re-election bid.
:"I am one of the few that candidates that actually has executive experience. As a former Cabinet secretary, I was in charge of a department with a $48 billion budget, 54 field offices, 8,000 employees and as the mayor of the seventh-largest city of the United States.":"You know, I can't think of anything. I have gotten asked so many questions. You know nothing comes to the top of my head.
