概要
 If you want to understand why Texas went blue, and what it takes to stay that way, you should listen to Felicia Escobar Carrillo. A native Texan herself, Felicia served in senior roles in the U.S. Senate, was a top immigration policy advisor in the Obama White House, and was chief of staff at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Biden administration.We’ll talk about how Texas Democrats up and down the ballot supported each other in a state the size of a country, why this was harder to pull off in Florida, and what “abolish ICE” means to Latino voters.Felicia’s verdict: Democrats are “on probation” with Latinos. Now the blue wave of governors and legislators needs to deliver relief on affordability and immigration policy, which are deeply connected.==Learn More==Amanda, Claire, and Doug express their own personal opinions on The Melting Pod.
