President Trump promised when he was
campaigning, and since he became President, that he was going to work
to end this epidemic. Yet we are still waiting to see the resources
that States and communities need. Now, last week many of us watched with great anticipation when
President Trump invited bipartisan representatives from both the House
and Senate, and the television cameras, to talk about how we were going
to address the funding situation that we are in, and how we were going
to address DACA--those young people who were brought to this country
through no fault of their own and are now in a situation where they
don't have citizenship and they don't have a way forward. Senators Graham and Durbin spent four months negotiating an
excellent, bipartisan agreement to strengthen border security and to
give Dreamers the path to citizenship that they deserve. The President,
in that meeting that we all watched said: Bring me a solution, and I
will sign it. Well, they reached an agreement that would likely pass in the Senate
with at least 60 votes.
