Asian Carp?

That is so racist,carp should not have ethnicity.

Shame on you U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Russian trawlers dumped the carp and hacked your lake, Dick Turban.

[TigersEye]

It’s like a Durbin Fish. An invasive species that has poisoned American politics.

[teeman8r]

How do Asian carp threaten drinking water?

[americas.best.days...]

Blah blah blah blah blah blah......FUNDING!!

[Old Yeller]

But he’s not concerned about the Islamic fighters flooding across the borders.

[JPJones]

“We’ll take all the Muslims from all 3rd world terrorist hotspots...but we don’t want Asian Carp!”

[McGruff]

(D-IL)Isn’t your state on the brink of bankruptcy? You would think that would be a bigger issue.

[Paine in the Neck]

What are you worried about? They’re just aquatic Democrats, Li’l’ Dickie.

[Snickering Hound]

Nasty things. And they jump.

[MisterArtery]

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.

[canalabamian]

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!

[IronJack]

we must redouble our efforts ... by ensuring strong federal funding

I knew that, being a Democrat, Durbin would eventually "solve" the problem by throwing money at it. And by taking a swipe at Trump.

[BeadCounter]

I read the original story on this, this morning and not about Dick Durban. I’m not from there but once in awhile, the wildlife officials here, do check boats. They said it will mess up commercial fishing.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

OK, why does the federal government have to provide the funding or even be involved in this. See, right away it becomes political, and then the Left can play their little cute games of saying Republicans want everyone to drink dirty water and want to pollute the Great Lakes. What is stopping the Great Lakes states from simply meeting and coming up with an action plan and a funding mechanism for stopping the Asian carp?

Seriously, states have become nothing more than appendages of the federal government. They exist in name only. They're about as autonomous as the satellite states of the old Soviet Union.

[wastedyears]

“Strong federal funding.”

These useless mouth breathers think the only thing that CA fix everything is the government. How about declare open season on those fish? Fisherman can go get as much as they want.

[dznutz]

Yet he shows no concern about the two legged invaders from south of the boarder..... that are already here.

[dynachrome]

Kind of like the illegals pouring across the borders.

[Dusty Road]

9 miles? My money says they’re already there.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Pour money into the rivers and lakes, Senator Dick Derpin’. That should fix it.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

ON government website about Asian carp They can grow up to 5 feet in length and weight 80 pounds. They out eat native fish, often eating 40% of their weight, daily.
