"This is a new front in the struggle of dreamers," Vargas said in a telephone interview. "We have already graduated from universities, we have made activism for immigration reform, we have been in Congress. Now the dreamers also be part of the 2016 elections. "
Vargas, who signed his contract with the Sanders campaign on Tuesday, said the presidential candidate shares the values ​​of the struggle of the dreamers.

"He has challenged both parties, not just Republicans but also the establishment (D) to ensure that we keep moving forward. What we have done reflects the movement of dreamers, we confront both parties, "Vargas said. "And Sanders is originally from Brooklyn like me, and even studied in high school myself."

His role will include helping some proposals pautar Sanders during the competition by the White House. "One of the main things will work on their platform on immigration and ensure that it is strong, but also work on other issues such as Puerto Rico, the health and education," he said.

He says he has spoken with dreamers in different parts of the nation have said they are satisfied with Sanders, platforms for challenging the other Democratic candidates.

"I think the senator (Sanders) took a step further than others: not only wanted to meet with dreamers because they are good people, as you said Hillary Clinton, but also includes us in his team to ensure that its platform includes the issues and needs of our community, "Vargas said.
