House of Representatives, Senate and White House Democratic leaders have previously supported DACA and a pathway to citizenship for those who came to the U.S.
WASHINGTON — This is not the first or the largest march that has ever occurred outside the United States Capitol over immigration reform.
In January, however, the House will be run by Republicans, many of whom have spoken out against DACA and a pathway to citizenship in the past.That's why she has traveled a long way to push lawmakers to get something done over the next few weeks.The reality is though if something could have passed Congress by now, it probably would have.
"We need 10 Republicans who will step up and join us in this effort. I can think of four or five as I stand here. We need more," Sen. Durbin said.That opportunity may require Democrats to do something for conservatives that, so far, many have been unwilling to do.
