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.

Don’t forget Dick that Democrats voted against the civil rights act. Fortunately Republicans passed it.

Durbin, after years in the Senate, should know what constitutes a civil right. Hey, Dickie, you can’t violate the civil rights of criminal invaders of our country! And why on earth would a sovereign country want to reward criminals who invaded it, without any sort of permission, with citizenship? How would you feel if you had duly waited in line and crossed all the t’s and dotted all the i’s to immigrate legally to the U.S. and were refused because we were over the current quota for your native country, while these human lice scampered merrily over our borders and got citizenship for criminality?

Way to go Senator. keep whittling away the black votes.... which is one of reasons I believe they are pushing for all these illegals to get here.

Recognition of the personhood of the soon to be born is the civil rights issue of our time.

Did the Vichy French feel the same way about the Germans in their country?

The sudden influx of Germans into France in 1940 should be resolved as a "civil rights issue," and grant the Germans French citizenship to make the problem go away?

If the Dreamers get anything less that immediate US Citizenship, the Democrats will call them Second Class Citizens, guaranteed.

How can you tell if a Democrat is lying? If they got their way 30 years ago by saying "no more amnesty" and yet they want more amnesty.,,, oh, Hell. Democrats always lie.

Reading what Durbin said ... it’s like walking through a feed lot. I feel like I need a stick for my boots.
No one is buying this pathetic BS yet he keeps squeezing it out.

Little Dick Durbin Tightened his turban, opened his mouth to bray. Along came a Dreamer Who pooped out a “steamer” And frightened Dick Durbin away. Excellent! 8O) Wee Dickie Durbin after too much bourbon, opened his mouth to speak. Civil Rights is the issue, said he; and for a man named Dick - I still can't get a chick, I'm a p***y and pathetically too weak!

Amnesty is not a civil rights issue at any time, Dick.

Hey Little Dick! American citizenship IS NOT A “civil right.” Are you stupid or something? You’re just interested in more freeloading ‘RAT voters. If I were President Trump, I’d throw your ass in jail.
