Durbin said Democrats are studying the Republican-backed bill, and he is planning to meet with Tillis and Lankford next week to discuss it.

“There are several aspects of this bill that are very problematic and very difficult for us to accept,” Durbin said. “It is true that they start by looking to a category of Dreamers, it is not as expansive as our category, and it’s true that they end up with citizenship, although it’s a longer period of time and there are things that they add to the citizenship, which would be fundamentally unacceptable,” he said. “Having said that, I’m going to sit down with both of them, with Sens. Tillis and Lankford, and talk through what they’re trying to achieve. I’m not going to miss any opportunity to find Republican support if that support is for a measure that we consider to be consistent with the principles of the Dream Act.


Durbin said Dream Act supporters are working toward movement on the bill before Dec. 8, when lawmakers have to move spending bills and a number of other issues. He said the hope is to beat that deadline, which is essentially the last date lawmakers might consider the bill this year.

This is a different story - the DreamAct is a workable solution. DreamAct accomplishes a permanent solution for **childhood arrivals**.

Tillis's goal is to modify imm laws and bundle enforcement into one convulted bill. Democrats need to have integrity and protect all childhood arrivals - that is not controversial.

Also, I and others here were the first to write that DreamAct should be the first step to immigration reform. Almost everyone agrees. And Tillis's Republican bill is not the DreamAct.
