Durbin said the Trump administration “passed the buck to Congress” by ending the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program and that lawmakers can address Trump’s proposals “after Congress addresses the DACA crisis that the Administration itself created.”

“Many of these proposals already face bipartisan opposition in the House and Senate and it would be wrong to link the fate of Dreamers to an anti-immigrant wish list,” Durbin said.

Durbin is a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which would give legal status and a path to citizenship to Dreamers — undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children — and called for Congress to pass the bill without including any of Trump's proposals.

Durbin is one of several Democrats to criticize the proposals.
