SEN. DURBIN CO-SPONSORED PLAN TO PROTECT DREAMERS — NOW THAT TRUMP WANTS IT, HE’S AGAINST IT

SEN. DURBIN CO-SPONSORED PLAN TO PROTECT DREAMERS — NOW THAT TRUMP WANTS IT, HE’S AGAINST IT
Excerpt: Democratic Illinois Senator Dick Durbin came out against the border security proposal announced by President Donald Trump on Saturday, publishing a statement before the president even delivered his remarks. In his statement, the Senate Minority Whip explained that he could not accept the deal Trump offered. “I cannot support the proposed offer as reported, and I do not believe it can pass the Senate.” The president’s plan included a three-year extension of legal protections for DACA recipients and those in Temporary Protected Status (TPS) — concessions that mirror those proposed in December 2016 in the bipartisan Bridge Act.
