“We are not terrorists,” he said. “We are not murderers. We are not bad people. A lot of innocent people are being blamed for things just because they’re Mexican.”
Castillo, a parish worker at St. Mary’s Catholic Church who says he came to America legally, personifies a demographic earthquake that is reshaping Iowa’s culture and politics and shaking up the presidential campaign.”*
