AMES, Iowa - The Senate's second-ranking Democrat says House Republicans should support legal status for young people who were brought into the country illegally as minors.
Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois made a strategic visit to Iowa Friday to highlight House GOP resistance to a Senate-passed immigration bill. The Senate measure would heighten border security and provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants living here illegally.
Durbin joined Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin at a forum in a college town represented in Congress by Republican Rep. Steve King.
King fiercely opposes a path to citizenship for immigrants now here illegally. Republican leaders denounced King's most incendiary remarks. But some Democrats paint him as a symbol of GOP resistance.
Harkin said Iowans are compassionate and don't use hateful language to characterize people.
