Twenty-two years ago, Durbin first introduced the Dream Act —bipartisan legislation that would give undocumented immigrants who grew up in this country a chance to become American citizens. In 2010, Durbin sent a letter, joined by the late Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), asking then-President Obama to stop the deportation of Dreamers. Eleven years ago today, President Obama responded by announcing the DACA program. More than 800,000 Dreamers have since come forward and received DACA, which has allowed them to contribute more fully to their country as teachers, nurses, doctors, engineers, and small business owners. “Today,

St. Louis County prosecutors have charged a Georgia man with felony stealing after he and others used an "altered" bill to trick video slot machines in gas stations into letting them play for free.

Police say Robinson and other men altered a $100 bill in such a way that a gaming machine would be tricked into thinking it had retained the currency when in fact the men could use it over and over again.
