Dick Durbin Claims Amnesty Is ‘Civil Rights Issue of Our Time’
Breitbart ^ | Jan 22, 2018 | by Neil Munro

Posted on 01/22/2018 6:30:32 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Democratic Senators believe amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants is the “civil rights issue of our time,” declared Sen. Dick Durbin, just before he voted January 22 to end the 2018 budget filibuster. Durbin’s promotion of illegal immigrants above African-Americans and other Americans spotlights the party’s decision that Americans’ deficits in wealth, job opportunities, and education are subordinate to the party’s strategy of allying with business to import foreign voters via the nation’s mass-immigration laws.

Durbin spoke just before the vote began, saying:

So many of you cast a vote that was very hard and very difficult because you believed — as I did — that the issue of immigration, the issue of dreamers, is the civil rights issue of our time. You stuck your necks out and said ‘I’m willing to go on record even if it is going to be hard to explain back home,’ but I will never forget that.

Only if you're an America-hating globalist/communist, Sen. Dick.

Little Dicky Durbin has decided that since queer “marriage” is the law of the land something else must now become “the civil rights issue of our time”.

Immigration in general has just become a massive wealth redistribution scheme; the remittances from the US are sent all over the world - and anyone seems to be welcome here (and can go straight onto the dole).

I thought the “civil right “ of our time was gay marriage.

Wait, what about gay marriage? Wasn’t that The Civil Rights Issue Of Our Lifetime? Or was it Muslim Terrorist Immigration? Black Lies Matter? I’m losing track, our political class is just so morally elevated I can’t keep up.

That makes him a racist...obviously he doesn’t think blacks are important.

Perhaps we need to leverage that...like not letting a crisis go to waste.
