Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin has been a champion of the DREAM Act since he first introduced the measure that would provide a pathway to citizenship for young, undocumented immigrants nearly 24 years ago.
And as Durbin finishes out his final two years in Congress, he’s reminding people in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that he’s still fighting for them under the Trump administration.
“When they call us, we do what we can, but that is the notion of passing legislation — let’s be honest, we’re in the minority,” he told NOTUS on Wednesday.
