Menendez
One of the 16 senators in the Hall of Shame below is New Jersey’s appointed Democrat Senator Bob Menendez.
Running against Menendez in 2006 is Republican Tom Kean, who’s now polling ahead of the incumbent by 7 points. Here’s what Kean has to say about amnesty:
Over the last several weeks, I have spoken about the need for immigration reform. I have talked about the problems with our porous borders and what that means for our country, especially in terms of our national security. I have also spoken to the economic impact of illegal migration on our country.But what I want to talk about today is the question of amnesty for the eleven million plus illegal migrants currently in our country. Two nights ago, the Administration took a step toward dealing with the chaos at our borders. I am encouraged by that development, but I want to make clear that stronger border security is not a substitute for addressing the question of what to do with the eleven million plus illegal migrants already in the United States today.
I do not support a blanket amnesty policy for our country. I believe it would dishonor legal immigrants who came here the right way, and it would only encourage more illegal migration. My opponent in this year’s election, Bob Menendez, believes the Senate’s plan is not amnesty. I disagree. Rewarding those who broke our laws with a clear path to citizenship is amnesty.
