 Durbin said this lively Chicago neighborhood is an illustration of what immigrants bring to our country.

"Come with me on 26th street, and I'll show you shop after shop, store after store, family after family —  they're really proving to us the American dream is alive and well and immigrants are a critical part of it and always have been," said Durbin.
