US Senator making fun of people suffering in green card backlog

Regardless of where you stand on policy proposal matters, this is horrible: https://twitter.com/psyinfeld/status/1177355239877427200?s=20 Dick Durban is laughing at a racist and derogatory joke. The context of this is S.386. It is a bill that has broad bipartisan support with an unprecedented over 60% of House and Senate members as co sponsors. The bill proposes to introduce fairness in the legal immigration system without cauosng any increase to current immigration levels.

Fairness lol

Zillow Group hiyy Sep 26, 2019

Not doing based on race/color/countryofbirth(things not under one's control), but based on skill, legality, first come first serve isn't more fair?

Google wlkaway Sep 26, 2019

Lol. That one has nothing to do with skill either.

Google godofproto Sep 26, 2019

Fairness? Are you high?

Intel D’sđŸ„œ Sep 27, 2019

High on that good, good. Kids these days call it “Modi”

Are you seriously bringing jokes from trigger to call someone racist??? Are you ok??

Google 4EVR Sep 26, 2019

BS. Just because the current rule is not in favor of a country, they want this to change. What about people in their own country who are being pulled off their citizenship - have they ever protested or requested fairness there?

Zillow Group hiyy Sep 26, 2019

People who are affected protest. You are not affected there or here. Why bother to insult?

A country has it's own rules and can do what it wants with immigrants from other countries. Immigrants should stfu or raise a voice in their own country for better fairness/quality of life/jobs etc

Indians are the smartest and thus should get the majority of the green cards!

Microsoft Fffreedom Sep 26, 2019

Therey are, like, ubermensch?

Netflix nutcrack Sep 26, 2019

So smart, thats why their country is so prosper! Make America as great as India again! Lol 😂

Democrats are racist and they prefer illegal immigrants.

LinkedIn &$&$ Sep 26, 2019

Yeah the senator said immigrants should not fight against each other. The 140k EB visa cap is arbitrary. But, immigrants should stand in separate lines based on their country/race and The 7% country cap is totally not arbitrary. Totally racist. I am pretty convinced that republicans and Donald Trump are better for legal immigrants

Skill? After two years in ICC A new graduate becomes lead consultant, you believe that bullshit

LinkedIn &$&$ Sep 26, 2019

Why are branding them as Indians ? If Indians can do that stuff, why can’t others do it ? Hope you understand that there are people saying that 1) Mexicans are rapists and murderers 2) Muslims are terrorists 3) Indians consulting companies and consultants are all frauds I strongly oppose those statements and consider people who make those statements as racists. You cannot generalize an entire country or people based some illegal stuff that some people do

Airbnb Modipig Sep 27, 2019

I brand ICC != I brand Indian people, unless you think they are the same lol

The clip ends too early. What did the senator say afterwards? Can someone explain why he is getting so much flak.

LinkedIn Oefa42 Sep 27, 2019

Giving GC to one country and you call it fairness?

Amazon jamalpasha OP Sep 27, 2019

1) This bill doesn’t offer green cards to one country. 2) Why is it ok for some one to have to wait 150 years to get a green card just because of an arbitrary thing such as their place of birth being in India? That said, regardless of the policy, this is a senior US Senator laughing with some one who is mocking people waiting in a legal green card queue. People who are doing their jobs, contributing to community, paying taxes. Let’s talk about pros and cons. Let’s debate virtues and ideals. But, when basic civics are flouted, people will become divisive. We begin to loose our sense of identity as one community. Realistically, think about it do we want to hate our fellow humans this much? Are we so short sighted?

Netflix nutcrack Sep 27, 2019

Let’s not. The system is fair. Good bye. We accept millions of people annually, stop teaching us and criticizing.
