Politician
Dec. 21, 2018
Tweet - "Democrats have made it clear to the President that there are much more effective ways to secure our border than a wall -- like more screening technology and personnel to stop drugs from flowing through our borders. Democrats support smart border security that works."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 21, 2018
Tweet - "If President Trump chooses to shut the government down -- hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be furloughed and without pay during the holidays. People who protect our border would be forced to work without pay."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 20, 2018
Bost Votes to Keep Government Open Secure Border
Rep. Mike Bost
Dec. 20, 2018
Letter to Administrator McMahon - Illinois Congressional Delegation Supports Disaster Assistance For Taylorville Tornado Recovery
Rep. Sean Casten, ...
Dec. 19, 2018
Tweet - "It is unfortunate President Trump's demand for a border wall from sea to shining sea has held up 7 appropriations bills that have been passed out of committee. I'm glad this didn't end in an unnecessary government shutdown, but stopgap spending bills are no way to run a country."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 17, 2018
CBC Statement on Russian Attempts to Suppress African American Turnout in the 2016 Election
Rep. Danny Davis, ...
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "In today's era of "big data,' Americans are using the internet every day without fully understanding the consequences of every click and whether that click just handed over their personal data for unwanted uses. This is simply unacceptable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "When online companies don't do enough to protect your personal data, they need to be held accountable. That's why I support @SenBrianSchatz's #DataCareAct."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "Today, we remember the 20 children and 6 staff members that were shot and killed at #SandyHook 6 years ago. Gun violence has taken far too many of our loved ones - young and old - far too soon."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018
Tweet - "How will we fight the drug epidemic in America, and stop the fentanyl coming into our country that is killing our children, when the President is fixated on a wall? We need modern technology and more customs officers."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018
Tweet - "Security efforts by the Department of Homeland Security could be compromised in a government shutdown. No matter what President Trump thinks, a shutdown is not good for the country and it won't make America safer."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018
Tweet - "A wall won't stop fentanyl but scanning devices and more customs officers will."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 12, 2018
Tweet - "I joined Senate and House Democrats asking for a briefing on Sec. Pompeo's meeting with the Ecuadorian Foreign Minister. We need to know when Julian Assange's hiding at the Ecuadorian embassy will finally end and who he might have met with while there."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "The Senate just passed the Farm Bill - which includes my bill with @SenPatRoberts that will provide new funding for rural fire and EMS agencies to fight the opioid epidemic, address chronic disease & emergency challenges, and strengthen their workforce."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Administration requested only $44 million for modern technology that can stop deadly fentanyl from crossing our border & is currently being used to screen only 18% of incoming border traffic, but $5 billion to build a medieval wall that a ladder or tunnel would thwart."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 10, 2018

Rep. Robin Kelly
Dec. 10, 2018
Tweet - "I sent a letter to Sec. Mattis today with @SenJackReed, @SenatorLeahy, and @SenBrianSchatz expressing our concern for the proposed plan to build more barriers along the Arizona border. This would be wasteful and hurt military readiness. https://www.durbin.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/181210%20Mattis%20joint%20border%20letter.pdf "
