WASHINGTON — When Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., was sworn in for the 118th Congress in January, he became the highest-ranking Latino in Congress, serving as chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, the No. 3 position in his party in the chamber.
Aguilar, a fourth-generation Mexican-American, recently sat down with ABC News contributor Maria Elena Salinas to discuss his personal story, his new role in the House and the pressure of representing a demographic that often feels overlooked.
"I joined the Redlands City Council, actually, by getting appointed to fill a vacancy for someone who had left town, and then became elected at the age of 27 and became mayor by 30," Aguilar said. His most recent efforts involved a letter pushing for legislation to allow"Dreamers" to hold federal employment.
"I think the grade would be incomplete, right?" Aguilar answered."There's plenty to do. We know that it's a humanitarian issue down at the southern border. What President Biden sought to do was to clean up the mess from the prior administration, too.""Well, but I would tell you that the tone of how we address this is very, is very different," Aguilar said.
