Don’t count on the Senate to save Dreamers from SCOTUS

President Donald Trump says young undocumented immigrants have nothing to worry about from the Supreme Court. The Senate begs to differ.

Minority Whip Dick Durbin has been on the front lines of the Senate’s immigration battles for decades, including trying unsuccessfully to work with Trump over the last three years. And he says after so many stalemates, there’s no reason to believe Trump’s optimism this time around.

“The man is not looking for a solution. Stephen Miller and his gang are in his ear and his mind with their hate-filled approach to immigration. He crumbles every time his heart starts moving to” the Dreamers, the Illinois Democrat said. And that won’t change “unless in a moment of desperation he thinks it’s his only way to get reelected.”
