Also, Dick Durbin...since he's an Illinois Democrat from non-Chicago. Unlikely to see any downstate Dems winning in Illinois after him.
My favourite Dick Durbin fact is that he is at the centre of an Epic Rap Battle between two immigrant groups.
Immigration Voice hate his guts so much
that they made a website, durbinisracist.com to call him racist against Indian immigrants - all because he tried to block S. 386, which would have repealed the Green Card per-country cap, in July 2020. (He abandoned his objection in August, but the website lives.) They promoted the website using the address truthaboutdurbin.com, presumably to avoid offending his more unassuming fans.
They are so extreme on the issue of S. 386, and its sister bills in past and future Congresses,
that they will not support any immigration reform bill that does not contain it. They have also said that a rival group, Support All of Us,
is an Iranian propaganda outlet. Support All of Us urged them around that time to
"stop calling us names", and for their part have supported
a Durbin bill that competed with S. 386.
