We are not begging for anything. Our situation is a civil rights issue. We did not choose to be brought here at a young age. And if you are going to use us for political gain, e.g. printing our pictures on cardboards and giving tear dropping speeches on the senate floor. Then you ought be open to the consequences of not being able ro push through a single legislation for the last 18 years. He is totally ineffective.
There is nothing stoping us from getting the justice democrats to primary him. If you think so lowly of yourself then you might as well go jump off a bridge. I have no sympathy for Durbin or people like you that make it sound like we are worthless pieces of shit.

It's an issue to hispanics in the same way Sikhs aren't Muslim, but anti-Muslim sentiments still disproportionately affect them.. They have to live with the misplaced discrimination the same way Puerto Ricans are being harrased as "immigrants".
So yes, this is very much a Hispanic issue, or at least on the surface it is. I wish they were more unified in their opposition as black Americans who polled like 1% with Trump in 2016.
And being that we aren't even citizens and therefore have no civic rights, it's a human rights issue technically speaking.
Lastly, Durbin can't control how unmoved his opponents are by our stories. But he can change public opinion which he has, 70% of Trump's own voters are in favor of DACA relief. Imagine how that number would look if they lumped us into the same category as our parents.
