Wondering Why Durbin Cares More about Illegal Aliens with Mumps than U of I Students

Here’s an observation from commenter Mark about the incongruity of our U.S. Senators caring about illegal aliens in McHenry County Jail having mumps, but making no mention of a much larger outbreak at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana:

Mark’s Commentary

Mumps is highly contagious and there have been several larger outbreaks in Illinois in recent years.

So to put this in perspective for example, where’s a similar letter from Dick Durbin, Tammy Duckworth, and Chuy Garcia when the much larger University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC) mumps outbreak occurred in 2015 & 2016?

“IDPH and the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (C-UPHD) conducted an investigation and identified 317 cases of mumps during April 2015–May 2016.”

  1. If Durbin Duckworth & Garcia did their jobs in the first place we likely would not need an ICE detention center within the county jail.

    Evidently US citizens mean nothing to them, unless it’s an election cycle.

  2. Tomahawk, The “Dick” is a dim-witted dolt, traitorous skunk !

    The “Duck”, is stuck in the swamp and can’t get out !

  3. Do nothing Dickie is only a political grandstander, he really doesn’t care as long as they spell his name right.

  4. Sen Durbin (D-Isr) needs to be replaced.

    Unfortunately, that really needed to be done 20 yrs ago.

    Duckworth shows her incompetence and societal disdain constantly.

    Underwood thinks she’s Durbin’s successor.

  5. The Answer is…..

    He’s a greasy turd!

    ‘Slippery Turd’ is also acceptable.

  6. Dick is the piece of garbage that once equated our U.S. Military to Nazi storm troopers.
