Menendez gets 'F' on immigration reform
A national group pushing for a crackdown on illegal immigration, Americans for Better Immigration, has given U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez an overall grade of F for his voting record on immigration reform. Actually, it gave him an F for his career and an F- for his recent record. The grade was based on nine immigration issues. Menendez received Fs in eight of the nine areas; he got a D in the ninth. The second worst grade in the New Jersey Senate/congressional delegation went to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who received a D-.
Only three New Jersey congressmen received an overall grade of B or better - Jim Saxton, R-3 (B), Scott Garrett, R-5 (A) and Frank LoBiondo, R-2 (A-). Frank Pallone, D-6, and Rush Holt, D-6, both received Ds, and Christopher Smith, R-4, received a C.

Menendez also received an "F" from the National Rifle Association, as did most of New Jersey's Congressional delegation. These report cards that various organizations issue generally tend to underscore just how liberal and out of touch New Jersey is with the rest of the nation.
The opinion of this Americans for Better Immigration means nothing to me. The whole thing is a very complex issue because illegal immigration has been going on so long that we cannot realistically deport the huge amount of illegals we have already. They have to be assimilated fairly but our borders have to be regulated more efficiently because our country has no less right to control than all other countries have.
