Dick Durbin Will Speak Up For Dreamers Every Day This Week

WASHINGTON — Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) plans to take to the Senate floor every day this week to share the stories of young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. His challenge to Republicans: Are these really the people you want to deport?

“If the House Republicans have their way and we pass in the Senate the language which was included as part of the Department of Homeland Security appropriation bill, Ola Kaso will never have a chance,” he said. “She will be deported back to Albania, a country she really doesn’t know at all. She will be forced to leave the United States. We will basically give up on the investment we’ve made as Americans in her education and her potential and tell her, ‘leave.'”
