Views On Illegal Immigration

He recently demonstrated his support for Illegal immigrants, by leading a local immigrant rally in Veron, California and in San Jose, California. He supports illegal immigration and said in an interview with Telemundo: "This country was born on the blood and sweat of immigrants, if it wasn't for immigrants like us, there would have never been such an economy boom as there was in the beginning of the last decade and multicultural county as there is today, I believe that the White American people do not have a problem with millions of Irish and European immigrants coming into the United States but for some reason they seem to have a problem with us Latinos." He is also become a well known philanthropist among the Latino community, donating time and money to local Hispanic organizations.
