All S.386 does, is it removes National origin discrimination on Employment-Based Green Cards. There is an absurdity in U.S. law; on one hand it states that taking national origin into account when hiring for a job is illegal, on the other hand, national origin is suddenly an issue when procuring an Employment-Based Green Card for that very same job (where national origin discrimination was illegal at the time of hiring).

An Indian and an Irish engineer could have both graduated from the same American university, have identical GPAs, identical job performance - but the Irish engineer gets a Green Card right away whereas the Indian engineer will never get a Green Card. In fact, the only way for employers to avoid this problem is to state in job advertisements, “Individuals from country X need not apply” - which is offensive and illegal.

National origin discrimination is wrong. This is a simple problem to fix. This is why S.386 - The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act is the most popular bipartisan immigration bill in the Senate. Its counterpart H.R.1044 - The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act is also the most popular bipartisan immigration bill in the House of Representatives.

However, whenever you have discrimination embedded in a system, you have people who benefit from preferential treatment, who then feel entitled to this treatment and are never happy about losing their preferential treatment. If we had listened to the entitled class when we desegregated schools, schools would still be segregated today.

Removing discrimination is not easy, it is often a messy, unpleasant task. We can tell a lot about someone based on how they react to removing discrimination. From what we have observed about him over the past decade and more, we assert that Senator Dick Durbin is a racist who delights in pitting immigrants against each other, causes the deportation of immigrant children - just because they are children of Indian immigrants, ignores the protests of his own constituents, has the mindset of a Southern Segregationist and is hell-bent on the ethnic cleansing of Indian Immigrants from the United States of America.
