Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : "But in my heart, I know it's time to pass the torch.
50% : The liberal Durbin has spent decades as an advocate of immigration reform and a defender of "dreamers," those who were brought illegally into the United States as children and have grown up in America but are largely unable to win citizenship.
27% : With Trump taking a hard-line approach toward immigrants, Durbin is unlikely to see millions of these youths win permanent residency or citizenship before he leaves office.
