Immigration update from @SenatorDurbin: "I talked to Nancy [Pelosi] last night and went over possibilities and she's got her hands full. I think she can do it. She's masterful, but at this point, there's some divisions within our caucus that she's trying to work out." 🧵
>> "The first two things we presented to the Senate parliamentarian have passed the house. So there are some who said, We want to send over what we've already approved." - @SenatorDurbin
>> "Of course, we face the same [parliamentarian] obstacle over here if they do that. That's what they want to do. And of course, we face the same obstacle over here if they do that. So we're trying to find some way to balance that." -@SenatorDurbin
