Julian Castro in Meet the Press interviews during 2019


On Civil Rights: Passed ground-breaking rule furthering fair housing

The record of all candidates, including Vice President Biden's, is relevant. His stance on busing that he allowed local communities to make a decision, essentially relying on state's rights, he's going to have to explain why that was good. We've had very painful history in trying to desegregate communities. When I was at HUD we passed the most ground-breaking rule since the Fair Housing Act called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. That pain is still there in this country.

On Immigration: Independent immigration courts will speed up asylum process

What we're talking about is doing things like that 21st Century Marshall Plan so that we can actually stem the flow of people here because they can find safety and opportunity at home. We're talking about creating an independent immigration court system with more judges and more support staff so that we can actually get these asylum claims resolved and people are not waiting in the United States in limbo for years and years.
