Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., offered a bleak outlook for Democrats' immigration agenda on Monday as the administration struggles to process a flood of migrants at the southern border.
"Well, I don't see. I don't see a means of reaching it," he said when asked about pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. "I want it. And I think we are much more likely to deal with discrete elements."
Durbin, who is responsible for gathering votes in the Senate, said he thought the Democrat-controlled House might not have the votes for comprehensive reform.
"I think Speaker Pelosi has discovered that she doesn't have support for the comprehensive bill in the House. And I think that indicates where it is in the Senate as well," he said.
