Dick Durbin: Race-Baiting Hypocrite
American Thinker.com ^ | January 14, 2018 | Daniel John Sobieski

One wonders if Sen. Dick Durbin ever objected to the phrase "chain of custody" in judicial proceedings as evidence of racism in a justice system said to be unfair to blacks. Or maybe he thought "chain smoking" is a phrase coined by Klansmen watching slaves harvest tobacco. Has he ever participated in a chain letter?

The phrase "chain migration" is what Durbin and his fellow liberals like to call a racist "dog whistle," but this dog won't hunt.

Democrats like Durbin like to view everything through race-colored glasses, and the phrase "chain migration" is no exception, with Durbin claiming President Trump's use of the term reminded blacks of slavery:

Durbin told the media on Friday that he reprimanded Trump for using the term "chain migration" in immigration negotiations, claiming [that] it [is] associated with racism, despite the Illinois senator just this week also using the term.

Durbin said in an interview:

That was the nature of this conversation. When it came to the issue of, quote, "chain migration," I said to the president, do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about chain migration, it hurts them personally.

Durbin used the word "chain," despite it allegedly being a code word for slavery, in the famous televised immigration meeting just before that private meeting:

“Dick” Durbin: mexican government lobbyist troll.

It’s assholes like him that ran Illinois into the ground. Send him down to mexico, and let him run for office there if he loves them more than the US.

Dick Durbin has always been the attack dog of the Senate. He will say anything. True or vulgar, mean or or nasty, he says it and always gets away with it. He is not a kindly politician, he is a snake.

No DACA does not expire. A federal court demanded it stay in place.

“A federal court demanded it stay in place.”


And everything I thought I knew about the U.S. government was hypothetically flushed down the toilet.

“A federal court demanded it stay in place.”

The court ordered that applications be accepted, not that they be processed.

Durbin has a “safe seat” so he lives in a consequence-free environment.

I grew up in Chicago and moved out of state eight years ago.

Durbin is a first class lying scum bucket. Even his supporters know that. He just happens to be their lying scum bucket.

If “chain migration” is another term for slavery, and the President wants to eliminate chain migration then the logical conclusion is he wants to do away with slavery. If democrats want to perpetuate chain migration then they want to perpetuate slavery. Maybe this was just a Freudian slip by Dick Turban?
