They see the unresolved fate of Dreamers, as well as beneficiaries of temporary protected status, as a good issue for their candidates in the 2020 presidential election, when the Senate battleground map will be more favorable for Democrats than it was this year.

While Republicans said after the Nov. 6 midterm elections that they hoped to reach a deal trading border wall funding for DACA protections, meaningful negotiations have failed to materialize.

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a leading proponent of legislation to protect Dreamers, said he has not received any serious overtures from Republicans.

Not a word has been spoken. There’s nothing from the White House to even suggest that’s on the table,” Durbin said, adding he was not aware of any immigration-related language being added to the spending bill other than extra funding for border security.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said Thursday that he preferred to keep immigration-related measures out of the bill.

“I’d rather keep it off,” he said. “I’d rather to keep as much legislation off as I can because ultimately it clouds the whole picture.”
