After the inauguration, US Senator Dick Durbin says he is again hopeful that the Dream Act will pass through Congress and be signed by President Joe Biden.
Durbin’s grateful that Biden restored DACA, or deferred action on childhood arrivals, protections by executive order on Wednesday. Durbin says those individuals deserve protection from deportation.
He wants the Dream Act back for a vote in the Senate. But acknowledges with a narrow Democratic majority he won’t get everything he wants out of a new Dream Act bill.
