This will be a long shot but I am certainly thankful for Senator Durbin and his support.

The page was in spanish and just used the translate function so I hope it makes sense.

:lol:

WASHINGTON The Democratic senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, said Monday it will introduce a measure to protect the "Dreamers" covered under the "DACA" 2012, and urged the president-elect Donald Trump, to maintain that program goodwill gesture to heal the divisions of the war.

In an interview with this newspaper from his spacious office in the Capitol, Durbin said that if the program of "deferred action" is not renewed, more than 740,000 "Dreamers" remain in limbo , but expressed confidence that Trump soften its rhetoric.

"We are trying to approach the elected president asking him to evaluate this matter ... do not know what Donald Trump as president, we know everything said in the race, hard things, scary, divisive and even hateful. I hope that the office of the Presidency have a profound and positive impact on him, "he said.



"I do not think there's a miracle or magic before 20 January, but will present a bill in the next session starting in January, and we will be organizing the support of legislators," he said.



"Perhaps the Republicans have a different way to correct the problem which we present immigration while Democrats, but ask that at least protect these young people, who do not put at risk of deportation," he said.

The capsizing of the "Dreamers" has reached the ears of the Vatican, according to Durbin, who traveled to Rome last week because the archbishop of Chicago was promoted to cardinal.

On 8 November, when he defeated at the polls to Democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump asked leave behind the squabbles and "heal the wounds of division" in the race.

Durbin co-authored the "Dream Act" of 2001, who died in Congress in this and subsequent years. Unlike that measure, which would have been permanently, the "DACA" 2012 is a temporary "band-aid", implemented by a guideline that Trump could well remove with just his signature.

There will be no presidential pardon

To Durbin, budding measure becomes urgent because President Barack Obama, in his opinion, can not offer a "pardon" to the "Dreamers", as requested by pro-immigrant groups.

"First, because the presidential pardon applies to criminal acts-and the illegal presence is a civil immigration offense and secondly, even if it could, if forgives today, tomorrow they would again violate (immigration law)," said Durbin.

Although there are precedents for presidential "pardon" with Confederate soldiers after the Civil War, and those who evaded conscription into the Vietnam War, both those pardoned were citizens or legal residents, experts said.

Obama "has few options if they have any; their hands are tied , "he said Durbin, who has spoken directly with the president, with its main domestic policy adviser, Cecilia Muñoz, and with the departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

I hope they do something about eDaca beneficiaries too :(

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I love Senator Durbin. He needs to run for president.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Damn. I am sorry. I assume you didn't qualify for DACA?

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

If anything this will gets lots of attention and if trump overturns daca it'll set off his presidency as the xenophobic mess it'll be. There will be a lot of attention on daca come January.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

:-(

I am sorry. It really makes me admire you guys. I mean it seems like you just missed the cut off date. I am sorry. Please remain strong.


What are you doing right now in terms of work or studying? Please continue to fight.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Yes, stupid politics around the age requirements. So stupid. I do not know mean to set off a tangent debate but age rules should be: arrived before the age of 18 and no age cap.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I know Durbin would not let dreamers in that situation in limbo. I am sure he would word it in a way that would be fair for those people who aged out.

He is legitimately a warrior for our cause.


I wish he had more of a personality to run for president.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Definitely. He sets those age limits because of pressure from others.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I guess one thing is that Sessions will not be in the Senate making his moronic speeches that make no sense against the dream act.


What a fucking idiot.

He was the main person against the DA in 2010. Him and his stupid racist views. He is high on my list for people I really hope they die soon. Unfortunately, people like him are the ones that last the most.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

lmfaooo same thing came to mind. Maybe, Trump did that on purpose, so Sessions would not be in the Senate. lmfao

Bad thing is that prick Cruz is still there. The Cuban Sessions. Son of a bitch.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Yeah, but everyone hates Cruz. Even republicans in the Senate won't listen to Cruz.

Senator Graham lmfaooooo

Damn. The GOP really hates him. lmfao Thanks for sharing the video.

Yep, he's the perfect example of "a bad weed never dies".

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Let's hope there will be republicans co-sponsoring the bill.

Re: Durbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Not to mention people on this site actually are cheering for Sessions What are they calles? #DreamForTrump DAP super fanclub I think

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

God bless Durbin! He's amazing. He's my hero!

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

My hero too!! He's been trying for 15 years to do good. I hope he knows we're all thankful for his efforts!

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I don't see trump supporting the dream act since it is something from Democrats. I believe the Republicans will submit their own version.

This is my opinion.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

It's a good start.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I still cant believe there are dreamers for trump lmao. Its hilariously sad. Yes, let us support the guy who wants to remove us, and has been saying that for the last year.

And the evidence? Oh they say its a "hunch". A hunch is a terrible way to say you guessed.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

What do you suggest we do? We are at his mercy now. The smart thing to do is to get on his good side and hope he doesn't kick our asses out.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

The whole point of Durban doing this is that it will begin the discussion about immigration. Republicans will need to pass a bill that will hopefully include some form of relief for us, along with enforcement and some harsh changes in the current system, more funding for the wall etc..

This so some weird Stockholm syndrome man

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I am not saying we should agree with him on everything or kiss his ass. I am saying we need to work with him. That's the reality. But, if you want to, we can wait four or eight years until a person we all like gets elected, so we can work together on relief. He has expressed a desire to cooperate. Let's try to take advantage of that.

In the mean time, let us bask in the agony and misery of trying to sustain ourselves while we hold on to our pride and suffer as ideologues.

We criticize the right for not coming to the center on immigration. Yet, you are implying we should behave the same. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, Trump is the guy you will need to pressure and ask for relief. Doesn't mean he has to be your hero.

Was Rigoberta Menchu a triator to all of the innocent genocide victims just because she had to work with Efrain Rios Mont (one of the masterminds of the genocide) in Guatemala's legislature? She had no choice but to work with him. Similarly, we do not have a choice but to work with Trump.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

No, that's the harsh reality dude. The legislators who sympathize with us need to work with him. Whether you like or not, we will have to pressure him and ask him for relief. That is the reality that you are refusing to accept. What do you suggest we do man? Honestly, you criticize my pragmatism, yet you do not offer any approaches. What is your approach? Wait 4 to 8 years for another President? You do realize he has a very good chance of getting re-elected, don't you?

Arguing politics of polarization, like Ted Cruz, is a sign of poor leadership man. I concede and agree with you on many things about Trump; we can't trust him blindly or say he is a great human being. But, we can't go back into our caves and refuse to engage in dialogue with him.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

He won by very small margins in a lot of swing states. By 2020 when he doesn't bring back the jobs he'll be out of there.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Let's hope so.

In the mean time, let's try . . .

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

This is how the game is going to be played, piecemeal legislation.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Trump isn't the issue. The issue as we have always said here is his team , the #REAL Trump Dream and these people aren't very well known for listening and historically have been very against any immigration bills. How do we convince these people exactly who are years ahead of trump when it comes to playing politics ?

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

I don't think the issue has always been said to be Trumps team. Even before Trump announced we are terrific people, or before announcing Sessions, you and others were against him with a hatred.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Yes, I missed the cutoff date by exactly 2 months.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Yes, I did miss the cutoff date by exactly 2 months. Thank you :D

I am currently studying full-time. Used to work but I decided to pursue my degree.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Very good question. All I can tell you is that sitting on the sidelines and refusing to reach out or give it a try is not the answer.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

To be fair, I am sure most of us had that feeling either because we lean left, or we were just not very familiar with or clear on Trump's immigration plan.

I am not a fan of the guy. I wanted Hillary to win because of DACA. Now, I advocate for cooperation and cautious optimism now that his rhetoric is relatively flexible on immigration.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Trump's #DreamTeam going strong here.

His whole team is not 100% full of racist people like many of you believe it is.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

What are you talking about? We don't need 100% . Sessions alone will be 50% of our problems, and we're yet to know who will be Secretary of home land security, out of the list I think Giuliani is the least evil, my opinion.

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

What would be the other 50%?

Re: urbin prepares measures to protect "Dreamers" under the DACA 2012
 

Secretary of Homeland Security.
