“For the first time in five years, we will have a debate on the floor
of the Senate on the Dream Act and immigration,” said Sen. Richard J.
Durbin, Illinois Democrat.
Mr. Durbin has been leading the push for legalization and partnering
with Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, on the plan that
has drawn the most attention.
The Graham-Durbin outline would grant eventual citizenship rights to
the 690,000 Dreamers protected by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
and would include more than 1 million others who either didn’t apply
for the Obama-era program or who were too old to qualify. The plan would
also create legal protections, though not citizenship, for their
parents.
The White House said it also is willing to talk about the broader immigrant population and more security and enforcement.
