...During the conference call, Clintons supporters swung punches at Sanders for voting for an amendment that supported a border vigilante group and a bill the Clinton campaign said would have allowed immigrants in the country illegally to be indefinitely detained.
Sen. Sanders consistently wasnt there when we needed him the most, said Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, whos rumored to be on Clintons short list for a running mate. If the past is any indication of what the future holds, then Sen. Sanders will continue to let us down.
Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Illinois, accused Sanders of standing with the anti-immigration wing of the Republican party.
Many of us have long memories that can help us recognize who we can count on and who let us down when we needed them, Gutierrez said.
Clinton is in a close caucus race against Sanders in Nevada, where the state population is 27 percent Hispanic. According to the few polls taken in the Lone Star State, shes leading by double digits in Texas where she already has the support of about half the states superdelegates.
