What a coward!!! His office is closed, he doesn't even have anyone to bother answerinig his phone. Additionally, his mail box is full so it is impossible to voice my concern regarding the stimulus which he is suppose to vote on tonight. I am outraged on such an important issue he can't call a job agency to get a temp to take messages. His actions are obvious and he needs to be voted out of office and get someone in who cares what Americans want. When it comes time to vote good ridence to him

This guy is clearly anti-AMERICAN! He should be impeached along with Pelosi and Reid.

The ramifications of the actions of this Senator, are mind bogling. Senator are you nuts? As a disbled Vet I ask for reason in judgement. Is this to much to ask? I can see that the Pelosi possie are determined to hold this Country hostage, just to exert false power ofver the American People.

To Linda 2537: You are SO RIGHT!!!! Right next to Menendez's picture should be a picture of our "esteemed" Gov. Corzine. He's out to cut the state debt, by doing away with programs that affect mostly middle to lower income families. He did however, borrow 3.9 billion dollars for NEW SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION! Hmmm with so many people leaving NJ each year, last year approx. 57,000 and more expected this year why would we need more new schools??? Oh, that's right, for the MANY children of the ILLEGALS! Silly me, how could I possibly forget that this country rewards ILLEGAL ALIENS!

I think we need to pressure Harry Reid also, and tell him that Democrats will be in the minority next year if he does not move the e-verify authorization with no string attached.

How can people like Sen. Menendez sleep at night, they are putting our country in jepordy.

I live in Sen. Menendez's district and I can tell you he will NEVER change his stance.

Here in rural and semi-rural South Jersey all one has to do is look around you and the farms, feed stores, lawn services etc. have employed people who know little or no English. It is almost a sure bet that employers look the other way regarding whether or not they are illegals.

Menendez has the hispanic vote locked up. Also, he will never go against the businesses and others who have been funding his campaigns from day 1. For these reasons alone--and I hate to be so pessimistic--he will never, ever, reverse all the harm he is doing to US workers.

I have sent fax after fax, but when it comes to Menendez, it is a given that he will remain solid as a rock. I'm not saying don't do it, but realize that you are making a statement and nothing more. Ditto for Lautenberg. Sad but true, they are no longer responsive to the people and the best interest of the districts they serve. :(

I've been hammering my congressman about this since the beginning. Hank Johnson. 4th district, Ga. He won't budge. He's a Democrat playing piece. Nothing more. It is amazing that he has NO competition in the upcoming elections. I would like a congressperson that wouldn't have to be threatened with getting voted out of office, to do the right thing. E-verify should not even be necessary. But thanks to the failure of past, (snort), lawmakers, the need is obvious now.

Senator Menendez's fax numbers are as follows: Washington- 1-202-228-2197 Newark,NJ- 1-973-645-0502 Barrington,NJ- 1-856-546-1526.Gleaned from his website at www.menendez.senate.gov

Why is it that we cannot get a permanent E-Verify program?
You know, this whole immigration situation is getting totally ridiculous. Almost on a daily basis, Numbers USA sends out notices of faxes and phone calls that they wish to have us members send, so how come after all of these faxes, phone calls, petitions, nothing seems to have been accomplished?

According to all pols I have seen over the past two years, the vast majority of American citizens want the border fence built and they want ALL of the illegal immigrants deported (not just those that commit violent crimes), but yet nothing is done, and every thing stays the same.

I have been a member of the Conservative Party for more than 30 years now, and I don't know of a single cause that we have ever won. If any of you other members of Numbers USA can tell me of any thing we have won, I would be happy to know.

We are NOT winning this one either. If everything has to be reauthorized, and if Congress can be allowed to continuously ignore the will of the people by first voting to build a border fence, then secretly vote to pull the funding for the fence, and as long as our federal government will permit states to set up "Sanctuary Cities", as long as our government is going to continue to allow illegals to receive all sorts of benefits, such as free medical/dental care, low income housing, free public school education or low in-state college tuition, food stamps,etc., paid for by the taxes of legal U.S. citizens, as long as our government allows employers to continue hiring illegals, and as long as our elected officials are going to be allowed to sell out American citizens to special interest groups (both foreign and domestic) there is no way we will ever win this illegal immigration battle and we are all wasting our time, and it won't be much longer before America is lost.

I went to the Menendez web site and sent the good senator a scathing letter. Maybe others should do the same. Here is the URL: http://menendez.senate.gov/

As Bob0234 of Md stated, we have two reps in our state that are pro illegal/amnesty. I call and fax their offices all the time. One sends replies about how much he has done to cut illegal immigration. He voted for the worthless fence, etc., things that don't make any difference. The other never even acknowledges letters sent to her office and she was part of that (Sh)Amnesty bill that Feinstein was promoting.

While I understand Janet of New Jersey’s frustration with Senator Menendez and his less than adequate voting record, under Senate rules, every Senator has the right to speak for as long as they need and want on any particular bill, resolution, or Presidential nomination. A Senate “hold” is when a particular Senator informs his or her floor leader (in this case Majority Leader Harry Reid) that he or she does not wish for a particular bill to reach the floor for consideration. While the Majority Leader does not need to follow the Senator's wishes, it is notice that the opposing Senator may filibuster any motion to proceed. In other words, any one Senator can stop a bill in its tracks.

In regards to term limits, ultimately, the voters decide how long a Member stays in office. The best way to remove a bad apple like Senator Menendez is to remember his actions and convince the people of New Jersey to vote for his opponent in 2012. Furthermore, the best way to move legislation in Congress is to guard your vote and make sure your Member of Congress feels the political pressure surrounding reelection. Without a doubt, the best way for us to get Senator Menendez to remove is hold is to jeopardize his future election or the election of his peers and legislative Majority. The American Public has a duty to hold him accountable for his actions.

Gary of NY,

You are right. This site is one of the most effective ways to form a strong citizen bulwark against the political forces trying to erase the 'walls between natives and immigrants'. And turn the USA into a free-for-all 'international zone' while other sovereign countries keep their own enclaves to themselves.

I promote numbersusa.com wherever I can - the new blogging is a great draw as it is so well-reasoned and non-partisan commentary that the so-called news media do not even touch.

Spread the word and donate your cash!!!!

Some day the citizens of this country are going to realize that the Democrat party is only for themselves, not you or me. The only reason they are soft on illegal immigrants is so they can eventually grant them citizenship and get their votes. Get them out of office.

For any Senator to act in this manor is simply appalling!E-verify works so let's kill it. What a concept! New Jersey needs to get this guy out of the U.S. Senate!

Having lived in Coastal So.CA most of my life, I have more than one lifetime of experiences with the illegal alien/legal immigrant/Mexican-American(elected Representatives and Senators pro-illegal alien).I'm just fed up. They're backed to run for any elected office that will be a stepping stone to a higher office. They are backed to run in those districts that are heavily Latino. Then the voters are picked up and taken to and from the polls. In fact, last week the National Latino Congress held its annual meeting in L.A., saw this on T.V news, this group pro everything Latino, stated they would be giving $5 million to register 2 million more Latino/Latina.
before this election. Some group was sponsoring a large registration of the same kind in January to enable those voters to vote in primaries. Speaking of the primaries, on 2-5-2008. Shortly before the Primary election, Mexico's President Felipe Calderon, came into the State, as if it is a part of his domain, as he has always done. He was having a meeting with the California State Legislators(only the Mexican ones). He then came to Santa Ana, CA. a sanctuary City, and replaced the Consular General with another Consular General, who had experience in New York City, Florida and Cuba. His designated duties were to attend all meetings. This info was also, from O.C. Register newspaper.

Why do you think he changed out the Consular, at voting time?
I assume this was Calderon's big kahoona.
Don't forget folks, this was our U.S. election.
I'm running out of room and have just scratched the surface.

There has got to be a way that all of the ILLEGAL lovers can be taken out of office. The time to act is now. DO NOT RE-ELECT ANY OF THEM THAT VOTE IN FAVOR OF AMNESTY. How can one Senator put a strangle hold on the whole senate? That can not be legal, but then we have doctors and lawyers writing laws for doctors and laywers. Go figure !!! If the Democrats get control of Congress and the White House, this country is in BIG TROUBLE, and it is looking more and more like they will. We have two Senators here in Maryland that vote for them (Illegals) all the time, but the people keep putting them back in office. WE NEED TERM LIMITS.

Each time I think something has been resolved in our government especially when the resolution has followed the law and the Constitution low and behold a Democrat resurfaces the issue and somehow puts the resolved issue back-on-the-table. Something is wrong with this picture!! Is there never closure? When the American people have solicited Congress, given their positions, and Congress makes the decision why isn't it final?

We need some drastic changes on how to handle these idiot people holding up everything imaginable, we need a way to give them the boot quickly and permanent.

When the Democrats take total control of everything we can all say goodbye to our Democracy and our nation. As a registered Democrat for fifty-three years, I want to say that I regret having allowed Congresspeople like the Senator from New Jersey to gain the power to take our nation away from us. Power in the hands of some becomes a dangerous weapon and ultimately has to be taken away before it goes too far. In this case, it has gone too far. No one in our nation should have this type of power.

New Jersey has the worst policies on Illegal Immigrants. I was just in motor vehicles yesterday and had my wife had to present documentation to get a drivers license (6 point system) for "HOMELAND SECUITY". but when I asked how ILLegal Immigrants get NJ licenses I was told the BUY birth cetificates and steal false social security numbers, but the workers are not allowed to question their documentation. Why? the motor vehicles also gives out voter registration forms, as soon as you have a license you can register and VOTE!! Is this voter fraud or what?
