\u201cYes, exactly. And part of my frustration was, we would love nothing more to help you out, but also, we don\u2019t have the votes from Republicans. But even getting to that discussion starts going down a long conversation.

And that\u2019s what we have seen for the last \u2014 change elections for the last 20 years. And I think it\u2019s important for Democrats to remember that from now on. You have to take care of people at the bottom line. You have to give them some level of economic security, especially Latino men. Latino men believe they can work themselves out of any problem.
