Inquisitr: BERNIE SANDERS TO REACH OUT TO HISPANIC VOTERS IN SPANISH-LANGUAGE Q&A
The Q&A will take place on the Univision Noticias Facebook page.
As for immigration reform, one of the key issues for the Hispanic vote, Sanders lays his plan out in seven points that include higher wages for workers in the U.S. temporarily, reducing the vulnerability of undocumented workers, protecting the children of undocumented immigrants, and absolutely not tying immigration reform to border fences and unrealistic and unwise border patrol proposals.
In a perfect world, this would not be text, but video so I could hear what Bernie's accent sounds like in Spanish.

to address Hispanic voters in their own language, meet with minority groups, and add their concerns into his platform. Plus, the guy's got 40 years consistent record of walking the walk.
Bernie is the best candidate we have had in many years.

I assume Mr. Sanders will be using a translator. Either way I'd like to hear what his Spanish would sound like.
