OK I found the information...Durbin is pushing for a hearing. Realize though that he wants more...bigger better bill. He is not opposed to expanding the foreign work force any more than he is opposed to open borders.

Update (10/31/19): Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) spoke on the Senate floor and expressed his desire for a future unanimous consent vote on S.386 and denied that hearings on the bill were necessary. Sen. Durbin (D-IL) has, in a letter to Sen. Cornyn (R-TX), requested a hearing on the bill and is currently blocking the unanimous consent request. A Sen. Cornyn spokesman suggested that Sen. Durbin end blocking of the bill.
