Durbin: Democrats Believe in Border Security But We Don’t Believe in Gov’t Shutdowns

‘Put an end to the shutdown and put everything on the table’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DURBIN: “Let me tell you, George, remember a few years ago when we had comprehensive immigration reform? We sat down, Democrats and Republicans, worked for six months with Job McCain and Chuck Schumer and others in the room, we came up with a package that dramatically invested in border security. Democrats believe in border security. We do not believe in government shutdowns as a threat to innocent federal workers and as a tool for the president to use over and over again to pressure Congress. Put an end to the shutdown and put everything on the table. We were willing to talk about more border security when we were talking about DACA and DREAMers and coming up with a border security plan that made sense, not some median (ph) wall.”
