Senate Dems target DACA reform in lame duck

Quote:

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said Tuesday that Democrats will try to pass legislation protecting "dreamers" during the Senate's lame duck session, after a court dealt a setback to an Obama-era federal immigration program

Quote:

"It is our responsibility to do everything we can in the closing days of this Congress, and the hope that we have a majority in the Senate and the House in the next Congress that can continue the battle if necessary," Durbin said.

Quote:

"The question is whether in a lame duck session, 10 Republicans will step up," Durbin said. "I can count four or five going into this, but no more.

Any deal on DACA would likely snowball into an effort to craft a broader immigration package, with other priorities and Democratic concessions on border security tacked on. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J) pleaded for Republican colleagues to focus on the lives of Dreamers and not insist on “onerous” conditions for a deal.

He and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) noted on a press call Tuesday that Republicans have sought steep asylum restrictions.

“I’m not personally willing to give away the fundamental right that America’s had on the question of asylum in a way that basically guts asylum,” Menendez said. He added that Democrats are willing to discuss border security measures for a broader deal.

Durbin is also lining up a potential DACA vote later this year as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 4543), but most proposed amendments don’t make it into the annual package.
