Durbin Statement On Federal Judge Again Declaring DACA Unlawful

Statement

Date: Sept. 13, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Judicial Branch Immigration

"Dreamers are protected from deportation for now, but due to lawsuits by extreme MAGA Republicans, their fates continue to hang in the balance and an untold number of Dreamers have been unable to enroll in the program for years. Earlier this year, I reintroduced the Dream Act with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. We have been on the cusp of passing the Dream Act for years. But time and again, Congress has failed to finish the job due to Republican obstructionism.

It's time for Congress to step up and meet our responsibility to Dreamers once and for all. I hope we can meet our obligation as lawmakers to solve this problem and pass the Dream Act, not just for the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers out there, but for the future of our country."
