Tonight -- live on Rachel Maddow -- I'll discuss my immigration plan, which drove the conversation in the Democratic debates. I hope you'll take a moment to read about it -- and join me and the other top Democratic candidates in supporting it. >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190702_em_pet_b2_castro_all_rs

My grandma came to America when she was just seven years old after being separated from her dying mother.

I watched the pain of never getting to say goodbye haunt her even as a seventy-year-old woman.

I see her image in the children at our borders today -- children as young as infants ripped from their parents, locked in cages, and even "lost" in the system.

My grandmother's memory -- and this president's defining failure -- has led me to this decision:

I wanted to tell you personally about my first groundbreaking policy proposal -- People First Immigration. I'm asking you to sign your name and show your support. >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190702_em_pet_b2_castro_all_rs

I won't lie to you:

My proposal is bold. But it's what our country needs.

People First Immigration centers around 3 key principles:

-No more family separation or children in cages -- period.
-Bring DREAMers and other undocumented folks out of the shadows -- full stop.
-Address the root causes of migrant crises -- this is key.

I promised you that I was the complete antithesis to Donald Trump.

And People First Immigration makes good on that promise.

I need 50,000 signatures-strong before midnight to show the world that America demands an immigration system that restores our faith in people, and puts hatred and bigotry in our rear view mirror. Will you add your name? >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190702_em_pet_b2_castro_all_rs

Talk soon,

Julián

P.S. Make sure to watch me live on Maddow tonight at 9pm ET/8pm CT!
