Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) simply doesn't care about American workers. This is made obvious by his attempt to kill the E-Verify program requiring employers to verify legal status of potential employees through a computerized system before hiring them.
There are 8 million Americans out of work and seeking employment. And this number is growing. This attempt by Sen. Menendez to block the E-Verfiy program is a slap in the face of every one of these unemployed American citizens seeking work. American politicians should be investing in American workers finding work, not in keeping the flow of illegal aliens coming across our border for jobs Americans need. But, as we will see in a moment, this is not about American workers, it is about political power.
NumbersUSA reports that Sen. Menendez may also be trying to barter blockage of E-Verfiy for an increase of up to a half million new allocations for foreign workers through the legal immigration system.
Either way, Sen. Menendez and many of his Democratic colleagues clearly have their priorities reversed from that of the average American citizen who is concerned about job security, wages not keeping pace with inflation, and national security holes created by our wide open Southern Border with Mexico which admits up to 1 million unknown, unscreened, and untracked illegal immigrants to this country each year.
As has been widely written, Democrats have an ulterior motive in trying prevent a halt to illegal immigration. The research leads them to believe that the majority of illegal immigrants, if allowed to become citizens, will become loyal Democrat voters as well. It is sound logic given the Democrats keep the illegal immigration coming while Republicans are fighting to halt it.
These Democrats are putting politics and power far out in front of the American citizen and taxpayer's need for jobs, higher wages. These Democrats are trying to secure their power in government by championing the cause of millions of potential new Democratic voters should illegal aliens receive a path to citizenship.
More than 30 states have now enacted legislation to slow or stop illegal immigration from overwhelming their infrastructure, labor pool, and social services. Growing numbers of Americans demand protection from potential epidemics and health risks posed by un-innoculated illegal immigrants, and terrorists coming across our Southern Border undetected.
According to the Center for Disease Control, the countries from which most immigrants come from to the U.S., Asian and S. American, have from 5 to 20 percent higher incidence of tuberculosis than America. This is not a problem for legal immigrants as they are all screened and rejected for entry if carrying a communicable disease. Illegal immigrants however, are not pre-screened, and are, without question, accounting for a major part of the increase in communicable diseases in the U.S., including measles, mumps, TB, and hepatitus.
Putting the American people at risk of terrorist attacks, communicable disease, increased gang violence and criminal activity caused by a percentage of illegal immigrants for political gains, present and future, is abominable and unconscionable. Such politicians are absolutely not working for our nation's future or benefit of the American people.
Sen. Robert Menendez is one incumbent politician New Jerseyans and Americans need to VOID from Congress and public office. Barack Obama, are you listening to the American people, or the likes of Sen. Bob Menendez? Independent voters want to know, and they want to know, NOW!

And he is not alone.
Most politicians in Congress despicably choose to pit American citizens and illegal aliens against each other for votes , profits , and (supposedly) misplaced compassion.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has the voting record (grade) you can get when it comes to illegal immigration: "F-"
He has no respect for existing laws.
He has no respect for Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

Yet, voters keep rewarding Robert Menendez with perpetual re-election (1993-2006 in the House, and in the Senate since 2006).
But, perhaps enough voters will be less apathetic, complacent, and blindly partisan when enough of the voters are deep in debt , jobless , homeless , and hungry ? Perhaps the voters aren't feeling enough pain yet from illegal immigration and these other abuses?
At any rate, the voters have the government that the voters elect.

Pretty abyssmal record when it comes to American wages, American jobs, American security, and American sovereignty. Sure looks like Sen. Menendez can't wait for day when the there is no difference between America and Mexico or Nicaraugua regarding jobs, wages, and benefits as our standards drop to their level and theirs rise slightly toward ours.
Because that is in fact, what is happening. A rush to level labor worth around the globe so that an American worker is worth no more than a Chinese or Mexican or Bolivian worker in wages, job security, or benefits. Then of course, the illegal immigration will stop as a result of America being no better than their homeland.
Welcome the global economy and flattening of labor costs around the globe for the sake of the corporate elite and large shareholder investors.

Pitting American citizens and illegal aliens against each other for votes , profits, and misplaced compassion is despicable.
However, voters are culpable too, since they repeatedly reward these politicians with perpetual re-election.
But, perhaps enough voters will be less apathetic, complacent, and blindly partisan when enough of the voters are deep in debt , jobless , homeless , and hungry ?

So, it is a mixed bag. Over a third of R’s supporting. What brought me out of my chair was the sheer arrogance with the ‘in your face’ attitude Kennedy and many others portrayed on this issue. Voter’s be damned. Even trying to hide parts of it in the budget or a farm bill in the dark of night. I’m hoping VOID will reap some results from that fracas this November. Mendenez is a nubie and won’t come up for VOID til around 2010.
Otherwise, they have the government they deserve.
Please check out www.voidnow.com to see how you can help remove under-performing (corrupt) officials from government. Also, check out www.demreps.com to see how a new style 3rd party w/built-in citizens oversight would bring accountability to the political equation. We could petition congress for an Article V Convention if we weren’t being denied our constitutional rights. Visit www.foavc.org for information about Article V Convention.

Yes, both parties have bribing wealthy special interests pressuring them to keep our borders wide open and the illegal flow coming forth.
Amnesty is a very different issue however form securing our borders. Amnesty makes a mockery of borders if they are porous as it acts as a magnet for ever greater illegal immigration.
That changes however, if our borders are secured and the flow of illegal immigrants has been halted at the border. Then, those arguing for amnesty have a stronger argument to make on humanitarian grounds.
But, Amnesty is lethal to this country's citizenship as long as the borders remain wide open to terrorists, communicable diseases, and criminal elements engaging in human smuggling, sex slavery and mass rapes, drug wars and turf incursions into the U.S.
That could not be clearer.
