Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a 2020 hopeful, appeared to call for the expansion of Social Security to illegal immigrants residing in the United States, footage of her speech at a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa showed.

“First, we need comprehensive immigration reform,” she said. “If you are in this country now you must have the right to pay into Social Security, to pay your taxes, to pay into the local school system and to have a pathway to citizenship. That must happen.”
