SHEPERDSTOWN, WV—U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the Democratic Whip and Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, today issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed executive orders cracking down on immigrant communities, that, among other things, dramatically increase the number of immigration agents and strip federal funding from communities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
“Creating a mass deportation force and depriving cities of millions of dollars in critical federal funding will make our communities and nation less safe,” said Senator Durbin. “After railing against the use of executive power, President Trump is bypassing Congress to push his extreme anti-immigrant agenda. Americans deserve a real fix to our broken immigration system that strengthens border security, protects workers, and treats immigrants fairly. Building a wall on our border and fear in our hearts will not move this nation forward.
“The reality is that the vast majority of immigrants are law-abiding individuals with deep roots in our country. It is unfair and dangerous to hold an entire community responsible for the acts of a few.”
The open barn door is safer?
What a loon!
um...isn’t Pres. Trump just following the law ?
[Creating a mass deportation force]
More Democrat hyperbole.
How about the citizens come first, DICK.
This proves there should be mandatory drug tests to be in Congress. If it is good enough for fed employees it should certainly be good enough for them!
HaHaHaHa!
DEMOCRATS make this nation left safe.
The Demo Party will be extinct before the mid terms
Maybe the snake catchers from India could spare a little time from their Florida endeavors to drop a loop over Durbin the Turban’s head and cart him away, too. Nabbing him would surely blow away any previous records they hold for “Biggest Snake”.
Turban Durbin still at it.
Keep it up buddy!
Building a wall on our border and fear in our hearts will not move this nation forward.
Flooding the nation with third world unskilled, disease ridden, and uneducated people who can’t and most likely will never speak our language will not move this nation forward Senator Turban!
Translation: “Locking your doors at night, and forcing the intruders who broke into your house to leave makes you less safe.”
Yeah, because decades ago when there weren’t tens of millions of illegals, we were just awash in crime.
This just in from Sen. Durbin:
Trump’s executive orders make America more yucky!
Returning our Nation to a, ‘Nation of Laws’ is going to be a SEVERE SHOCK to SO many systems!
So. Much. WINNING! :)
Amen
This is the same line of reasoning as those who claim that if we don’t give radical Islam whatever it demands will just hate us all the more and built recruitment for them. Sheesh! Such abject stupidity is beyond logic!
Everyone knows that walls and fences don't work.
seriously? how come you didn't require this of Obama?
