Maybe she didn’t know the right person. Here is what Senator Durbin said on the Senate floor after the amnesty bill was voted down.
I find this appalling that he can do this, he should be called on this.
Durbin talking on Senate floor:
Among the people now whose lives are going to be left in uncertainty is a mother I know and know very well. Her husband was one of those lucky ones. He was a citizen from Mexico. In 1986, he was given amnesty by President Reagan. He works 14-hour days in a club in Chicago as a maitre’d, greeting people, bringing them to their tables. He and his wife have four children who are all American citizens. They were all born here. But his wife is undocumented. Several years ago, she was deported, 3 days before Mother’s Day, back to Mexico. She was pregnant at the time and wanted to stay in the United States with her doctor until the baby was born but wasn’t allowed. Eventually, I called the State Department. They gave her a humanitarian visa to come back to the United States. Now once each year I make a phone call to ask if she can stay with her family for another year. Luckily, she has been able to stay on what they call a humanitarian waiver. But she and her children never know from year to year whether mom is going to be deported to Mexico. Will it make America better if she leaves? Will it make that family better? I don’t think so. This is clearly a case where this great Nation can certainly absorb a loving mother who wants to make sure her kids have a good life.
He gets her this “humanitarian waiver” every year so she can stay illegally in this country.
Read about the others he knows:
