2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I proudly stand with Nevada DREAMer Activist , Astrid Silva in her endorsement of Hillary Clinton [View all]
Astrid Silva, a prominent immigration activist whose close relationship to Nevada Sen. Harry Reid put her in the middle of the Dream Act and executive action fights, told BuzzFeed News she is endorsing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The formal announcement, set to come in a Univision op-ed Wednesday, comes months after Silva sat down with Clinton for a key campaign immigration event.
Silva said she made up her mind after attending a Donald Trump rally where an Army veteran friend of hers was dragged out by members of the crowd. To her, Clinton is the candidate who will fight that culture and fight for immigration, whether its a legislative overhaul or defending Obamas actions.
My dad had his stay of removal extended for a year, but I dont whats going to happen, Silva said. My parents just became grandparents, and with Secretary Clinton its about knowing Noah is going to have his grandma and grandpa.
Silva appeared at a Clinton event on May 5 of last year, where Clinton said she would support Obamas executive actions and go farther if Congress wouldnt.
