Dick Durbin: ‘Chain Migration’ Is A Racist Term

Quote
Durbin also took offense to Trump’s use of the term “chain migration,” which refers to the ability of immigrants to bring their extended family into the United States.

According to Durbin, the term is racist and offensive to African Americans because it is reminiscent of slaves being transported to the United States in chains.

“I said to the president, ‘do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African Americans believe they migrated to America in chains, and when you speak to chain migration it hurts them personally,'” Durbin explained. “He said, ‘oh that’s a good line.'”

THIS is why I refuse to pearl-clutch over the term 'sh*thole'. With these people it'll never end until you offer them your throat.

At some point people need to suck it up.

Durban is a proven liar and Leftwing fruitcake. I'm glad Donny blew this immigration deal up if he is dealing with this absurd garbage at the table.

Exactly.  We have to stop allowing the Alinskyites to tell us what we can and cannot say.  Until we do, they will continue to enslave us, the worker class.

Durbin is obsessed by race.  Isn't that by definition racist?

He's obsessed by identity politics, an affliction he shares with just about all on the left, and too damn many on the right.    It is the curse of our times.

Remember kids, 'racist' is a liberal code word for 'criticizing any current or future Democrat voter from a loyal, self-serving special interest group.'
The Republic is lost.

He did OK, considering all the challenges he faced at Glenbrook High.  The Thatchers are proud of him.

This song is also racist....

You read my mind, honestly.  The first thing I thought of was "Chain of Fools".

Also, a great song.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Only a liberal leftist mental midget would come up with a lie like that!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Is there anything good coming out of the state of Illinois lately?

We have Hillary Clinton, Obama, Durbin, Rahm, and reams of other bad things like a shrine to Barrack on the shoreline.

How about a wall around Chicago to keep the bad inside rather than it spilling out to infect the rest of us?

I'll see you the triple :facepalm2:

And raise you :banghead:

That is a term widely used throughout American history for many races.  If you look at Wikipedia it doesn't consider slavery chain migration.  I wonder if he finds Restaurant chain offensive too since slaves were cooks to slave owners?  Ridiculous stuff.  I am sure you could find liberal websites talking about chain immigration.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

The last time I heard the word "Chains" in relation to slavery, it was Democrat Joe Biteme threatening blacks the Republicans would put them "in chains."

Since the Democrats were the party of KKK members.
