While Hillary Clinton tours The Bronx on Thursday morning, her presidential campaign launched a new television advertisement aimed for New York City's Latino community.

"La Vida Requiere Riesgos"

The Hillary for America campaign on Thursday released "La Vida Requiere Riesgos," which translates to "Life Requires Risks." The 30-second Spanish-language advertisement features a Dominican male named Dan-el Padilla Peralta, and he narrates his story from his mother's struggles to maintain the family to his strive for education success.

Padilla Peralta is an undocumented immigrant who's story has been documented in other publications. He first came to the U.S. when he was four years old, overstayed on his tourist visa and has since feared of being deported back to the Dominican Republic. Today, he is a professor at Columbia University. He still is not a U.S. citizen but hopes to obtain the status one day. He has stayed in the U.S. with a work visa.

"Hillary Clinton luchó por un niño Dominicano indocumentado y me ayudó obtener una visa para regresar. Y esa es Hillary Clinton," said Padilla Peralta in the Spanish ad, which translates to, "Hillary Clinton fought for an undocumented Dominican kid and helped me secure a visa to come back. And that's Hillary Clinton."

Campaigning in New York City

The Spanish-language ad coincides with Clinton taking a tour of The Bronx on Thursday, which includes a stop outside Yankee Stadium, a ride on the 4 train and walking around the East 170th Street near by Mt. Eden neighborhood. Her visit comes a day after Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz also made a stop in The Bronx, namely between the Soundview and Parkchester neighborhoods on April 6 and after fellow Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders visited St. Mary's Park on March 31.

Clinton did make a Bronx visit earlier in the week, same day as the Wisconsin presidential primary, for a private fundraiser dinner.

According to YouGov and CBS News polling, Clinton has a steady lead over Sanders among Democratic primary voters. Clinton received 53 percent to 43 percent with New York Democrats, who will vote on April 19 in the closed-primary election. Most of the survey's respondents appear set with their first choice as 59 percent said their first preferred candidate choice is "very strong -- I've decided" and 27 percent said "strong -- I probably won't change."

New Yorkers, as well as all Americans, will have an opportunity to hear Sanders and Clinton debate for one last time before the Empire State's primary election as both campaigns agreed to debate on Thursday, April 14 at 9 p.m. EST in Brooklyn.
