Durbin: GOP Wants To Deport 600,000 Dreamers As The Price For Funding DHS

With just 15 days until the short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security expires, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) came to the Senate Floor today to urge Senate Republicans to abandon efforts to play politics with the lives of young people impacted by immigration policies like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). During his speech, Durbin shared the story of Herta Llusho, who received DACA and is now working as an engineer at an energy company in Michigan.
