[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dick Durbin Dick ? The phrase "chain migration" is what  Durbin  and  his  fellow liberals like to call a racist "dog whistle " but this dog won't hunt.
One wonders if  Sen. Dick Durbin  ever objected to the phrase "chain of custody" in judicial proceedings as evidence of racism in a justice system said to be unfair to blacks. Or maybe he thought "chain smoking" is a phrase coined by Klansmen watching slaves harvest tobacco. Has he ever participated in a chain letter?
Democrats like  Durbin  like to view everything through race-colored glasses  and the phrase "chain migration" is no exception  with  Durbin  claiming President Trump's use of the term reminded blacks of slavery:
 Durbin  told the media on Friday that he reprimanded Trump for using the term "chain migration" in immigration negotiations  claiming [that] it [is] associated with racism  despite the Illinois senator just this week also using the term. Durbin said in an interview: That was the nature of this conversation. When it came to the issue of  quote  "chain migration " I said to the president  do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about chain migration  it hurts them personally.
In 2010  Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) advocated on the Senate floor for ending the process known as "chain migration " whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S.  a term that he now claims insinuates racism. While asking Congress to pass the expansive and failed "DREAM Act" amnesty  which would start by legalizing millions of illegal aliens   Durbin  touted the fact that the legislation at the time would have ended chain migration  preventing newly amnestied illegal aliens from bringing their extended family members to the U.S. "The DREAM Act would not allow what is known as chain migration "  Durbin  said. "In fact  DREAM Act students would have very limited ability to sponsor their family members for legal status."
Last week  Durbin accused Republicans of forcing Lynch  President Obama's African-American nominee to replace Eric Holder  to "sit in the back of the bus" until a vote on a controversial sex trafficking bill could be held. That thinly veiled reference to the moment in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to move from her seat in a Montgomery  Ala.[] bus was meant to paint Senate Republicans as racists. This came as news to Tim Scott  R-S.C.  the first black elected to the Senate from the Deep South since reconstruction. "It is helpful to have a long memory and remember that  Dick Durbin  voted against Condoleezza Rice during the 40th anniversary of the March (on Selma) " Scott noted. "So I think  in context  it's just offensive that we have folks who are willing to race-bait on an issue as important as human trafficking."
Not only did  Durbin  oppose the nomination of the first black woman  and only the second woman  to be secretary of state  but  he  also fought President Bush's nomination of hispanic Miguel Estrada to sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals:

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity NicolÃ¡s Maduro ? Little evidence has surfaced yet that the protests are organized or have spawned any opposition leaders. It is too early to tell how long the protesters can keep the pressure on the regime to change. In their endeavors  however  it is precisely to Latin America that Iranian protesters should look for guidance â in Iranâs ally Venezuela  where nearly a year of daily protests did nothing to stop  socialist dictator NicolÃ¡s Maduro  from consolidating  his  power.
Where Venezuelaâs street protesters succeeded in attracting international attention  the governmentâs official opposition failed by adopting policies that enabled the regime. For years  the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD)  a Venezuelan opposition coalition led by socialists  attempted to engage in dialogue with the regime. Venezuela saw minimal protests throughout 2016 largely because the opposition leadership was too busy in âdialoguesâ with  Maduro  that resulted in no concrete changes in the country. It happened again last year  when  Maduro  called for a round of elections in which  he  decreed who could run for office and controlled the institutions counting the votes.
The protesters on the streets rejected  Maduroâs  mockery of democracy. The MUD participated  losing a number of member parties along the way. By November  the MUD had called for another round of talks with the government  and protests in the country were all but unheard of.
Venezuelaâs protesters only met half of this challenge. As noted above  the opposition appeared united only in their rejection of  Maduro . Some leaders of the opposition were socialists and demanded only that elections occur â without specifying that they be free and fair. Others identified the socialist system as the problem and have demanded a full overhaul of Venezuelaâs institutions to create a free and democratic capitalist state. Yet more leaders demanded individual fixes  like the liberation of political prisoners or humanitarian aid for the hungry. Outside of âno more  Maduro  â the oppositionâs message was  and  sadly  continues to be  a mess.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Omar Suleiman ? "So I think that announcing yourself as a sanctuary has its implications  whether you're a mosque  a church  a synagogue  or anything "  Imam Omar Suleiman  told NPR's Renee Montagne.
 Suleiman  is the founder and president of the Yaqueen Institute for Islamic Research near Dallas  Texas.  He  says ICE has been particularly aggressive in Dallas  where the area leads the country in the number of deportations since the election of Donald Trump.
Last year   Suleiman  was one of the people calling for mosques to join the sanctuary movement in response to increased deportation. The adversity that the Muslim and Latino communities face is similar   he  said.
"I think the tools that have been employed against immigrants are the same tools that have been employed against refugees  which are the same tools that have been employed against the Muslim community as a whole  which is the dehumanization — the 'otherizing' — that allows people to subconsciously accept this idea that we somehow do not deserve the same level of dignity and respect and liberty that everybody else does "  Suleiman  says.
But there is already a deep anti-Muslim sentiment   he  adds  pointing at mosque burnings that have taken place since President Trump was elected.  He  says Muslims are already under a lot of scrutiny and an additional layer to that could exacerbate something that is already an issue and endanger both the Muslim and the Latino communities.
