As a Northeasterner, who follows NY politics, you have to understand that these Democrats come from working class areas, predominately white areas in NYC and outside of NYC. These are the remnants of the Giuliani/Bloomberg/Reagan Democrats who are socially moderate, fiscally moderate. They don't care about social issues, they want a quality of life. The hard core progressives in NY want social engineering, and some of these voters who elect people like Tony Avella and others don't want those policies.
in that case renaming themselves the "Immigrants Defence Coalition" will surely cement them in power!
