Evidence

Durbin said he delivered remarks ahead of the Senate’s vote on his and Sen. Tim Kaine’s CRA resolution to overturn a DOJ rule that would prevent meaningful appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Concrete immigration-related legislative action, but it is a narrow procedural fix rather than comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform; the broader promise remains unresolved.

Durbin reflected on the 14th anniversary of DACA and called on Congress to finally provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, citing the bipartisan Dream Act.

Continued advocacy for immigration reform and a path to citizenship, but not evidence of passage of the promised comprehensive bipartisan reform.

Durbin and more than 50 colleagues pressed the Acting Attorney General over the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision weakening legal protections for DACA recipients.

A serious, concrete immigration intervention showing continued work on system protections, but still only a partial and defensive step rather than comprehensive reform.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Durbin appears to have made sustained, serious efforts on immigration, including bipartisan legislative work and public advocacy for Dreamers and immigration protections. But the promise was specifically to support and work to pass bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform, and the evidence here shows advocacy and narrower procedural or defensive actions, not enactment of a comprehensive bipartisan reform package. Since the broader promised outcome was not delivered, but substantial effort is evident, the best judgment is never with effort credit.
