Durbin: More Needs To Be Done To Help Child Immigrants
cbslocal.com ^ | August 3, 2014

Elected officials addressed thousands during the People’s Mass at Fiesta Del Sol in honor of dreamers, immigrants and the 47,000 children held at detention centers across the nation.

WBBM’s Kimberly Easton reports a crowd of thousands listened intently to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Senator Dick Durbin. Both Emanuel and Durbin assured the Latino community they will not turn their backs on children who are fleeing a dangerous situation.

“We are here today at Fiesta Del Sol. This is a Mass dedicated to the dreamers. The action that was taken by the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday was reprehensible. This idea of calling for the deportation of these young men and women is cruel,” Durbin said.

Durbin says more should be done to help children crossing the border into the U.S. on their own.

“These are young men and women who have come to the United States not by their own choice, who have lived here, they have lived in the United States and now they are asking for a chance to prove themselves.”

Emanuel said also told the crowd one or more sites that can hold up to at least 1,000 will be used to treat immigrant children fairly and humanely.

“Everyone of us are children, or grandchildren or great-grandchildren whose families at one place or another dreamed of a promise of America and the thousands of children on the border, who left the violence of Central America, we welcome them to the city of Chicago,” said Emanuel.

Notice how none of these advocates for taking care of the illegals don't themselves make any personal effort to look after these illegals. These “do-gooders “ won't get within 50 miles of the illegals.

I agree that more needs to be done for the illegal "chilren;" i.e. they need to be returned to their warm, cozy and loving families in Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. Immediately!

Exactly. Even big talker Glenn Beck didn’t offer to take any into his home. He’s all about how they should be treated with compassion, never mind that most of them are NOT the children we were told they were, and for all his compassion I didn’t see him offer to take any either.

I bet we could fit quite a few into the White House. Why not start there?

There actually are not any “unaccompanied minors.” There are lots of “unaccompanied MS-13” though, but that doesn’t fit the narrative.

Phones? Flat screens? Pools? Video games? All you can eat meals? Sounds like they’re getting better care than most American citizen kids. What about them, Durbin?

Durbin: More Needs To Be Done To Help Child Immigrants

Yes, Mr. Dustbin. Let's get them home to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala as quickly as humanly possible, so that their own nations may assist these "children."

SEND. THEM. HOME.

Senator Dick Durbin needs to understand - if these ‘kids’ spent $8,000 to $10,000 to get to the United States we can spend $300 to fly them to the capital of their home countries where they can catch a bus home.

SEND. THEM. HOME.

Is Sen. Durbin as interested in the welfare and safety of the kids in Chicago?

Mmmmmm......that sucking sound you hear in Chicago is deafening.

Tell you what, let's send Dickie and Rahmmie a case of taco-flavored Chap-stix.

These guys are gonna need it.

Sen Durbin: More Needs To Be Done To Help "Child Immigrants" (if he can find any in the border swarm)

============================================

DICKIE AND LOIS WORK THE SYSTEM: Disgraced IRS'er Lois Lerner used her then-FEC position to save Dummycrat Durbin’s US Senate seat back in 1996. Lois conducted an inquisition into Durbin's opponent for alleged election law violations....and it worked. Dicky triumphed.

Dickie's suckup to the border swarm is a red flag----he's running scared ....as well he should.......

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:

QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

SEN. RICHARD DURBIN SALUTES SMARTLY: “We Democrats believe — and we stand by this — if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward.” (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)

DURBIN'S VOTERS HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE

Turban Durbin doesn’t give a rip about the marine held in Mexico, but will go to bat for the illegal aliens.
