All Dems had to do to do very well in the mid-terms was tilt slightly center on social issues and immigration. Instead they appear to think going full socialist + open borders is the answer? It seems deranged

Gillibrand is from one of the bluest states in the country. Possibly she'll be running for president soon, and possibly she's right that this is a good angle. But she may well be wrong too. Currently polling *of Dem voters* shows them against open borders and against abolish ICE

It depends on how strongly people feel about the various subheaders that fall under the label of immigration. I personally think people are more strongly opoosed to policies that incentivize illegal immigration than cuts to legal immigration
