One of the most sought-after presidential endorsements in a key early voting state is from a woman who cannot vote.
As Democrats jockey for support in Nevada, a meeting with Astrid Silva, a 31-year-old immigrant rights activist who has become a public face of the “Dreamers,” is a can’t-miss early stop.
Silva has had dinner with Kamala Harris, policy roundtables with Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, and vegan tamales with Cory Booker. Just this week, after Pete Buttigieg noticed she attended Supreme Court arguments on the program shielding her from deportation, the candidate called to make sure she knew he supported her cause.
“Presidential wannabes, when they come here —I don’t know a single one that hasn’t met with her,” said Harry Reid, the former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, who helped elevate Silva’s profile during his push for immigration reform. “There’s no question in my mind that candidates are well served to visit with her.”
Silva’s busy calendar highlights the power of Latino voters in Nevada, the third state on Democrats’ primary calendar. The state has a large immigrant community, and Latinos account for roughly 19% of the electorate, according to the Pew Research Center. Many of those voters are Democrats, making Nevada’s contest a critical test of the candidates’ appeal among a group with rising political power in the party. …

“...A 31 year old law breaking illegal alien...”
There. Fixed
A face only a mother could love ... perhaps.
An endorsement from Dirty Harry!!! Worth a plugged nickel
I hope she gets deported the moment the USSC strikes down that bogus "Dreamer" nonsense.
“She can’t vote, but 2020 Democrats want her support anyway”
Just because she can’t vote doesn’t mean she won’t.
What is it about the word “illegal” that democrats don’t understand?????
Yep...We better get ready for massive voter fraud in 2020...
“The thesis of the state socialist is that no line may be drawn between private and public affairs which the state may not cross at will; that omnipotence of legislation is the first postulate of all just political theory.” …This is what Democrats believe.

I fart in her general direction
“I hope she gets deported the moment the USSC strikes down that bogus “Dreamer” nonsense.”

That minor technicality doesn't stop many of them from voting anyway.
You can’t tear down and destroy the U.S. if you abide by its laws.
She votes
I guess technically if you're all or nothing on immigration that means you win, because you got one of those (nothing), but it sure sucks for the rest of us.
DACA is not immigration.
Arrest the illegal alien invader trash and agitator. Seize her ill-gotten assets and kick her OUT! If she returns illegally, shoot her.
And vegan tamales with Cory Booker
Damn, Dims are just so Koo-al these days
I’ll bet that AP reporter just had an orgasm writing that
Typical democrats pandering to illegals and treating citizens as second hand people. This should be spoken loud and often by the Trump campaign.
“Can’t” Vote, or hasn’t been caught Voting?
Because out of the 40,000,000 Illegal Invaders living in our Country the Rats have declared that NONE of them have ever Voted, mistakenly (?), purposely or otherwise.
Of course, the Dreamers who admittedly “harvested” Votes in CA were free to do so under CA Law, but that’s not a problem.
