Minority Leader Harry Reid said at a news briefing Wednesday that Republicans in the Senate are “enabling” 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump with the refugee admittance bill, and that Democrats are committed to opposing Trump’s “hateful views.” Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin added that Republicans are “so smitten with the Republican presidential candidates, they can’t wait to bring a Syrian refugee bill to the floor.”
