Julian Castro on Social SecurityDemocratic Presidential Challenger (withdrawn); former HUD Secretary |
"This president is failing us, but we're also failing ourselves to allow this to happen," he told me there. Immigrants need to come, Castro said, going beyond the moral argument by saying it's because the Social Security trust fund is running out, and without them, Baby Boomers will be broke. "That's not an argument that's based on emotion. That's not an argument that's based on just what's happening today," Castro told me. "It's based on the personal interest of every single senior citizen out there, no matter what your background is."
