We hope @SenatorDurbin will sit down with colleagues & get a deal done on #S386. No one ever passes a bill with a UC show to deflect & humiliate others. A bill can only pass if differences are negotiated. Our advocacy will intensify until talks occur -> facebook.com/notes/immigrat… 
Today, Durbin tried to put on a show that he wants to do something for the people suffering in the backlog. But we know his approach is not intended to reach a deal.
A person who wants to reach a deal does not create floor drama over paper-thin policy differences that can be resolved in a 1-hour meeting.
Instead, the person who wants to reach a deal would insist on meeting with their counterparts and keep making offers until a deal can be reached that is acceptable to all sides.
The current system of Employment-Based immigration is pure discrimination and the “visa bulletin” is monthly “hate speech” designed to show us how low and unequal we are considered.
This must change and Durbin will continue to be criticized and called-out until he sees that this law must be changed purely on principle. There is no earthly reason to ever treat one human being vastly differently than another based on immutable factors.
Right now, there is a permanent ban on any new Indians getting Employment-Based green cards unless the law changes.
Durbin tried to create an illusionary trick and false choice on the Senate floor that as if one must pick from the false choice between the status of immigrant children and equality for immigrant parents.
This is like a false choice saying as if one has to choose between cutting your hands or cutting your legs.
So of course we will speak the truth to loudly tell everyone one more time that Durbin is to blame if he holds up the bill over minor policy differences when all he has to do is to negotiate to get this bill done.
@SenatorDurbin the ball is in your court.
@SenatorDurbin the ball is in your court.
