WASHINGTONU.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement on legislation announced by U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA):
Neither Senator Cornyn nor Senator Grassley has ever voted for the Dream Act. This proposal, as I have told them personally, cannot be considered a good faith effort to provide protection for the Dreamers, including those who were enrolled in DACA.
The laundry list of unrelated immigration bills which they have offered is designed to delay and stop any serious bipartisan effort to solve this crisis created by the Trump Administration on September 5th.
I will continue my efforts to reach a bipartisan agreement to pass the Dream Act.
It has been three months since the Trump Administration announced it was terminating DACA and called for Congress to come up with a legislative solution. More than 10,000 Dreamers have already lost their DACA status, and beginning early next year, 1,000 additional young people will lose this protection each day.
One would thing dirtbag Durban would occasionally concern himself with US citizens.
Yeah, newbie, the republicans are the enemy, not the party of the Obama/Clinton crime families.
Wow, yes, the republicans are the enemy, not the party of the Obama Clinton crime families.
If ICE knows who those 10,000 dreamers are, ICE agents should arrest and deport the dreamers.
Who should run against Durbin, in 2020? I hope that Rep. Roskam will run.
