U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today took to the U.S. Senate Floor to speak out against a House Republican effort to defund the President’s immigration policies, including the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which temporarily halts deportations of young Americans known as “Dreamers” – immigrant students who were brought here as children by their parents and who grew up in the United States. During his speech, Durbin told the story of Sergeant Oscar Vazquez, a Dreamer who help start a high school robotics team that beat MIT in a national robotics competition.
