Dick Durbin: ‘Immigration Is the Civil Rights Issue of Our Time’

‘The issue of immigration, the issue of the DREAMers is a civil rights issue of our time’

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: "Let me thank my colleagues. So many of you cast a vote that was very hard and very difficult because you believed as I did that the issue of immigration, the issue of the DREAMers is the civil rights issue of our time. You stuck your necks out and said, 'I’m willing to go on the record even if it's going to be hard to explain back home', and I will never forget that."
