Vox: Pete Buttigieg's latest plan is an appeal to Latino voters

"...What the plan would do
Buttigieg says he would push for legislation to create a path to citizenship for the almost 11 million unauthorized immigrants currently living in the US, many of whom are Latino. But to pass that legislation would require an unlikely series of events: Democrats would have to flip the Senate and hold the House, and Buttigieg would have to make it an immediate legislative priority.

He would aim to improve representation of Latinos in business, politics, and education by:

*investing $10 billion to fund underrepresented entrepreneurs and award $100 billion in federal contracting funds to underrepresented small business owners, including Latinos
*offering political representation for Puerto Rico and fighting voter suppression of Latino communities
*doubling the number of teachers of color over the next decade

He also calls for improving Latinos’ access to public amenities, including investing $10 billion over a decade in waste disposal in underserved areas, and establishing a commission focusing on disaster relief, particularly for coastal regions such as Florida and Puerto Rico, where there are large Latino populations..."

Quite a bit more (it was hard to pull a few paragraphs): https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/17/21024180/pete-buttigieg-latino-plan-nevada-immigration-hispanic-poll-citizenship-worker-biden-sanders
