CAUTION......

I know a lot of Democrats that don’t like this because they take jobs, cause crime and lower our kid’s education (among many othe things). We need to reach out to them on this issue. I knew a lot of Dems in CA that agreed wholehartedly on this issue. How to reach them to become involved enough to contact their reps?

Any bill that does not let us pick and choose the most qualified immigrants, while keeping the rest out, will not make us any safer.

It so strange how people on the left think the best of unknown people who want to come here, while believing the worst of those who are already here.

[DarkWaters]

Won’t be that long, the economy and welfare state have 10 years left, tops.

Recall Pelosi saying they had to pass the law to find out what was in it. This clown’s promise is worth what amount of thought he put into it.

[Travis McGee]

We can't let minor mishaps like this blind us to the wonders of multicultural diversity.

Think of all of the GOOD things that Chechen Muslims bring to us!

Um Senator Durbin, that immigration bill went south since the events of last week.

[Biggirl]

Well if you really want to be safe Senator Durbin, do as the Israelis have done, build a SECURITY WALL.

These terrorist turds were legally here so how in the hell will making it easier be safer?

America sure has some dumb-ass legislatures.

[HollyB]

They lost their credibility a long time ago, no one believes them and it’s obvious just propaganda.

[Eleutheria5]

Here’s a comment: Durbin is either an idiot, hopes most of the public are idiots, or both.

[Democrat_media]

you lie you democrat pos Durbin, this maggot is typical democrat ,all democrats are the lowest scum on Earth.

[CountryClassSF]

What a boneheaded thing to say. Not that the RINOS will ever try to argue with it.

[tsowellfan]

I agree! Durbin is at least the second one to come out and say this over the weekend. I believe the other one was a "republican"... Graham, I think.

That makes this whole thing even worse because during this period where the nation (especially Boston) is recovering from the terror attack they are obviously writing these mantras.

Senator Turban:

YOU'RE A LIAR!

[ScottinVA]

Durbin: “The immigration bill will make us safer”

Durbin: “Our troops at GITMO and Abu Ghraib acted not unlike Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge and Hitler’s Nazis.”

FYDD. FOAD. Now.

Sorry, be we haven't resembled a Constitutional Republic in ~100 years. SS, Welfare, War on '' and numerous alphabet agencies....ALL outside of A1S8 authority. IMHO, we're falling faster than Rome. This time, though, the whole world house of cards is going to come down with it as well. This bill, when passed; because the GOP don't have a cell in their heads to know how to fight or what for, will be the death knell.

Little Dick chiming in to make some political hay for a dying system of government that evolved, unfortunately, from a great idea. Benjamin Franklin wasn’t only a jack-of-all-trades, he was a seer.

Let’s face it FReepers, we’ve reached the end of our tether. With Christie, Rubio and Ryan deserting the Conservative cause, if it ever existed, we desperately need that legitimate third party that could upset our enemies’ applecart.

[NRA1995]

Whenever Durbin says something will make us safer, it’s a sure bet he’s full of sh*t.
