“I don't have an issue with maintaining a secure border. We're always going to do that. What I have an issue with is separating little children from their parents.”

“The whole system is broken, and we need a plan to fix it. That`s what my police reform plan would do by increasing transparency and accountability, setting a national use of force standard that says that lethal force should only be used if an officer has exhausted all other reasonable alternatives under the circumstances.”
— Julian Castro, Julian Castro interview. TRANSCRIPT: 7/18/19, The Last Word w/ Lawrence O'Donnell.

“It is astonishing that this president still has not released his taxes, even though he said at one point that he would and then he said he was under audit. Now it's gone so far that Congress is looking for those tax returns, and I hope they get them, because it's clear that he has something to hide.”
— Julian Castro, Town Hall Meeting with Democratic Presidential Candidate Julian Castro

“He`s moving this nation backward in a very tangible way and making life more difficult not only for the four Congresswomen, certainly for them, but also for school children that are out there that may be black or they may be Muslim or maybe Latino or Asian-American.”

“The cruelty of this administration never seems to end. You know, a year ago, this administration told us that as Americans if we would just be cruel enough to separate little children from their parents that that would deter more families from coming to our southern border and, in fact, the opposite has happened.”
— Julian Castro, Town Hall Meeting with Democratic Presidential Candidate Julian Castro

“We saw on video that the officer engaged in excessive force against Eric Garner, that he used a choke maneuver that is not supposed to be used by NYPD. He did that for seven seconds it was clear what he was doing. Mr. Garner said 11 different times that he couldn`t breathe, and so this officer had plenty of warning. He should have understood what he was doing, that he was killing Eric Garner.”

“You know I'm not somebody—like a lot of Americans I'm not somebody that likes to use that term or that is quick to call somebody a racist. I think you have to be very careful before you use that word. However, this president has shown us time and time again from the way that he started his campaign, to the comments about that Mexican-American judge during the campaign, to his failure to immediately condemn white supremacists in Charlottesville in 2018, to just a couple of weeks ago his comments about Representative Ocasio-Cortez and her three colleagues, to just these comments about Representative Cummings and his district as well as his comments about a year and a half ago—or maybe two years ago now about John Lewis in his district. There is a pattern here.”

“You know, I grew up with a grandmother who came from Mexico when she was 7 years old with her little sister because their parents had died. And they came across the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, ended up in the west side of San Antonio. She worked her whole life as a maid, a cook, and a babysitter, because she never finished elementary school. And just two generations later, one of her grandsons—you know, my twin brother, Joaquin, who is here—is a member of the United States Congress, and the other grandson is running for president of the United States. This country has been blessed by immigrants throughout the years. And, you know, this president wants us to believe that we have to choose between border security and compassion.”
