Segregationist

Immigration Voice has been working with Durbin’s office for the last 15 years and our volunteers have a very good sense of his sick perverted view of immigrants and immigration.

Senator Durbin doesn’t see America as a melting pot - rather he sees it as a motley collection of warring tribes divided by language, culture and skin color. As a reflection of this tribal ethnocentric mindset, whenever we have had a meeting with Durbin’s office, he has always sent out a staffer of Indian origin to meet with us. This Durbin staffer treats us with hostility and indifference, or asks us to wait for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (no such bill exists) - when all we ask for is some relief so we don’t have to suffer national origin discrimination while living like indentured servants where our employers can deport us, and facing the imminent deportation of our children.

While The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act remains the most co-sponsored bipartisan immigration bill in Congress, Senator Durbin’s staff has never even acknowledged to us that the per-country cap on employment based Green Cards is racist. This is because the racist per-country cap on employment based immigrants fits into Senator Durbin’s sick worldview perfectly.

We have heard Senator Durbin likes to say S.386 - The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act “divides” immigrants. In Senator Durbin's America, where racist national origin discrimination is norm de rigueur, sub-human Indian immigrants would gladly and without resentment, devote their entire lives to the servitude of other immigrants and native born Americans. This is obviously complete nonsense and comes from either a racist ideology or a spineless, cowardly lack of leadership from the supposed leader on immigration policy in the Senate.

When the South was desegregated, there was a lot of unpleasantness. There were frequent race riots, bombings and lynchings. But when was the last time you heard of a race riot in America? According to Senator Durbin and his office's sick perverse ethno-centric view of the world, the unequal, still-segregated South would have been more united than the South today where everyone atleast de-jure has equal rights.

What Senator Durbin does not understand, because he is a racist against Indian immigrants, is whenever you remove discrimination, there will always be resentment from the people enjoying preferential treatment. This is how it has always been. Removing discrimination is not “divisive” - it unites.

Instead because of a racist, bigoted, tribal, ethno-centric mindset, Senator Durbin uses S.386 - The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act, as an opportunity to pit immigrants against each other in his “constituent coffees”, like a Roman emperor sending his slaves into the arena for a death match. Senator Durbin doesn’t care for immigrants, he views us as his property and views himself as our king. He is determined to not solve problems and instead to lord over us - because if problems get solved and the suffering eases, we will move on with our lives and he would lose his relevance. This is why he is blocking The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act - which is the most popular immigration bill in the House and the Senate.

When we desegregated schools, we didn’t do racist mathematics on the class sizes for white students like Senator Durbin is doing for Employment Based Green Cards. We went ahead and desegregated schools, let the chips fall where they may and kept moving forward. Yes, there was a lot of unpleasantness and a lot of controversy as the formerly privileged class in the discriminatory system lost their privilege, but in the end we were fortunate that the United States had the leadership with the stomach to do the right thing and keep moving forward.

No one is sorry that we desegregated anything - except Senator Durbin perhaps.
