CHICAGO U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement after the discovery of an adult Silver Carp near the T.J. OBrien Lock and Dam in the Calumet River:
Im deeply concerned by todays announcement that an adult Silver Carp was discovered a mere nine miles from Lake Michigan. If this invasive species reaches the Great Lakes, it could cause significant economic losses and irreversible damage to the ecosystem, and threaten the drinking water of 30 million Americans. Now more than ever, we must redouble our efforts to prevent their spread by ensuring strong federal funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative which President Trumps budget eliminates and by pushing for the completion and release of the Brandon Road Study.

That is so racist,carp should not have ethnicity.
Shame on you U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)
Russian trawlers dumped the carp and hacked your lake, Dick Turban.
It’s like a Durbin Fish. An invasive species that has poisoned American politics.
How do Asian carp threaten drinking water?
Blah blah blah blah blah blah......FUNDING!!
Don’t know,it’s a fish.
But he’s not concerned about the Islamic fighters flooding across the borders.
“How do Asian carp threaten drinking water?”
Oh god these slimesticks are the worst. Get a few of them in a river and the river runs slimey goop.
They are horrible creatures. Like everything from Asia.
Well,we can conclude that U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) hates Asians.
“We’ll take all the Muslims from all 3rd world terrorist hotspots...but we don’t want Asian Carp!”
(D-IL)Isn’t your state on the brink of bankruptcy? You would think that would be a bigger issue.
“They are horrible creatures. Like everything from Asia.”

Good lord-—exaggerate much?

What are you worried about? They’re just aquatic Democrats, Li’l’ Dickie.
<< Blah blah blah blah blah blah......FUNDING!! >>
Nailed it!
I am greatly distressed by the presence of Dick Durbin, a noxious species of crap, lurking in the US Senate, endangering the lives of millions of Americans.
I wonder if Asian Carp can be used for fuel, or fertilizer? Illinois needs a way to pay its debts! A renewable resourse, not a problem. Turn that frown upside down, Dick!
Koi are from Asia, and they are among the most beautiful and amazing fish in the world. Their Japanese name, nishikigoi, translates as, “brocaded carp.”
I knew that, being a Democrat, Durbin would eventually "solve" the problem by throwing money at it. And by taking a swipe at Trump.
