Florida (WPAP/KLIF) – The two 2020 presidential candidates from Texas clashed on the subject of immigration during last night’s Democratic debate.
Julian Castro, pressed former Congressman Beto O’Rourke to agree with his plan to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings.
The issue caused a terse back and forth between the two, at one point Castro telling O’Rourke to ‘do his homework.’
