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.”
so....if we don’t build the wall, then the nation-wide ghetto policy of “snitches get stitches” (which still applies in ‘sanctuary cities’) will somehow magically disappear from the mindsets of criminals? alrighty then
Nothing Obama did bothered this guy, but now he’s a concern troll.
I guess terrorists coming across our southern border are just business as usual for Durbin.
No threat there of course.
Shut up Dick. You haven’t got a clue.
Hey Durbin shut your piehole. Your side lost. We won.
If these guys keep this up, you won't be able to satirize them at all.
Durban has bought into the extortion of it all. The Appeasement tactic doesn’t work and cultivating legions of democrat party voters by turning a blind eye to illegal immigration effectively stabs Americans in the back.
It is time for cities to pay for their own depravity.
Trump’s order is NOT “anti-immigrant”, it is about ILLEGAL migrants, which, by not being able to speak truthfully, to say “illegal”, Durbin demonstrates he should not be on a Senate committee pledging to provide oversight on matters of U.S. law.
Did Durbin even bother to read the executive order and its many references to existing U.S. laws, and it many uses of the terminology ordering actions only consistent with U.S. law? I doubt it.
Li’l Dickie Durbin is back again?
