On December 4, 2023, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin declared that he believes illegal aliens should be offered a path to United States citizenship if they join the military.

Durbin is the Senate Majority Whip and he is also chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He put the idea forward on the floor of the US Senate after making comments about several Republicans’ opposition to approving additional aid to Ukraine without making wide-ranging border security reforms.
