Los Angeles is the strongest defender of immigrants perhaps of any city in this country.

Latinos are not monochromatic. You know, they trace their ancestry back to South America, to Central America, to Mexico, like in my family, and the Caribbean. And it's - we're a very diverse group. And we care about a lot more than just immigration, though we're passionate about having sensible immigration policies that don't go after our families.

I think poverty is the biggest challenge for Los Angeles and for many of our cities that have come back from the recession.
