Right now, our nation is still operating under the historic low cap President Trump set for refugees. I urge the Admin to issue a revised refugee target reflective of our nation’s values and strength. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We are in the midst of the largest worldwide refugee crisis in history. We must maintain robust legal pathways for vulnerable people fleeing violence and persecution and restore the refugee admissions program. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2018, Congress came together on a bipartisan basis to pass the most important criminal justice reform law in a generation. I was proud to champion this effort with Senator Grassley. Now we're working to ensure that the First Step Act & its goals are successfully implemented. — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of immigrant doctors are stuck in the green card backlog while they put their own health at risk serving our communities. This bipartisan bill strengthens our health care workforce and our response to the ongoing pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I commend VA for being the first southern state to abolish the death penalty, a grave injustice which is disproportionately imposed on Black, Brown, and low-income Americans. Now let's pass my Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act to end it nationwide. https://t.co/E0s6yEeUaP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Mandatory minimum penalties have led to sentences that are unfair, fiscally irresponsible,& threaten public safety. The First Step Act was a critical move in the right direction but there's more we need to do to reform our criminal justice system. Our bill is a common sense step. — PolitiTweet.org

#OTD in 1953, Jonas Salk announced his vaccine for polio, widely considered the health crisis of the time. As with this vaccine, the COVID vaccine was possible because of medical research. If this year has taught us anything, it's the need for robust funding for medical research. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to join @SenJeffMerkley and @RepLowenthal to introduce the most comprehensive plan to address plastic pollution. It’s time to change the status quo and hold those responsible for our plastic pollution problem accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

From slurs in the streets to deadly violence, the horrific shooting in Georgia last week follows the terrible rising tide of hate Asian Americans have experienced throughout the pandemic. I stand in #solidarity with the Asian-American community to #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This month I joined Senate colleagues in reintroducing a bill to expand federal background checks to all gun sales. And @senvillivalam is leading the charge in Springfield to close gaps in the background check system. These are common sense steps we can take to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Gun violence is a public health crisis and we must respond with urgency. Today I joined @senvillivalam, @senatorjacqui, @SenatorHunter, @LamontJRobinson, and other community leaders in Chicago to call for action at the federal & state levels to address this crisis. https://t.co/sX1aGsOsfi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Rewriting the rules to make it harder to vote will disproportionately affect Black and Brown Americans. What is happening in Georgia only underscores the need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. It’s time to #RestoreTheVRA. — PolitiTweet.org

5 dead and 140 police injured and the disgraced former president calls his insurrectionist mob attack on the U.S. Capitol “zero threat.” He shows zero sense. We won’t let him rewrite history. — PolitiTweet.org

Barring legal cannabis businesses from traditional banking services puts unnecessary risk on business owners & the community. I'm joining my colleagues to introduce the SAFE Banking Act to allow legal cannabis businesses owners access to banking services. https://t.co/WPbyvrXjPW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Trump Admin talked tough about the U.S.-Mexico border for four years, but did far too little to address this ‘iron river’ of guns flowing south. I asked GAO to update its analysis of firearms trafficking so Congress has the information it needs to address this challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud to join @SenDuckworth and @maziehirono in this effort. Our friends and neighbors in the AAPI community are hurting. We need to all come together to condemn racism and hatred. — PolitiTweet.org

Protecting veterans is one of the most important components of federal COVID relief efforts. Proud to join @SenDuckworth today in announcing that Illinois veterans’ homes will receive $5.5M in federal funding for critical infrastructure improvements to protect against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot accept the cruelty of the Trump Administration’s immigration policies as normal. Democrats stand ready to work on a bipartisan basis to fix our badly broken immigration system. We need our Republican colleagues to roll up their sleeves and join us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pres. Trump’s cruel policies created a humanitarian crisis at the border. I remember when AG Sessions came before the American people and actually quoted the Bible to justify the forceable removal of children from their parents' arms. And Republicans want to return to those days? — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the strong demand for American products and services, China and others have been busy building markets on the African continent and the U.S. is being left behind. Today I am joining a bipartisan group of Senators to introduce a bill to increase U.S. exports to Africa. — PolitiTweet.org
