Menendez doesn’t want to see Tancredo ad
Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey said Wednesday he was not interested in seeing the latest television advertisement by GOP presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado.
When asked about the ad, which warns that open borders are leading to the raping of children by Central American gang members, Menendez said, “I make it my business NOT to look at Tom Tancredo ads.”
Menendez’ response sparked laughter at an immigration forum hosted by NDN, a Democratic group.
In a speech, Menendez said that Republicans are “willing to use Hispanics as political scapegoats” and will lose big in 2008 because of it.
Tancredo’s ad, revealed Tuesday, focuses on Central American gangs such as MS-13 and shows bloody pictures of victims of gang violence.
It says that the gangs are now on American soil “pushing drugs, raping kids, destroying lives” and blames the violence on “gutless politicians who refuse to defend our borders.”
Tancredo caused a stir last month with another ad that linked immigration to terrorism. That ad showed a hooded man blowing up a shopping mall.

Menendez is a coward and obviously supports the MS-13 gang organization. You can’t dismiss the true reality of the ad that goes to the heart of the matter of gang terrorism. Al Sharpten did not have the courage to face it in New Jersey because at heart he is a racist. Menendez is no better.

It’s not only illegals who create gangs. It is also Americans. Just like Menedez said that Republicans are “willing to use Hispanics as political scapegoats” and will lose big in 2008 because of it. Look who are the upper presidential candidates and what their opinion is in regards to illegals and the borders buddy!

Tancredo’s ad doesn’t tell the whole story. It is actually FAR worse. Google THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and check out the GANGS and CRIMES sections.
Menendez is putting his ethnic heritage above his country. That makes him a racist and traitor who should be impeached for not upholding his oath of office and carrying out his Constitutionally mandated responsibilities.

In any City, Community, Town, Village ar hamlet throughout these United States (ICE) is finally raiding the factories, offices, work-places and corporate HQ of pariah business hiring cheap illegal foregn national workers.
(ICE) Immigration & Customs Enforcement can only do so much. They have limited resources and limited man-power. The “SAVE ACT” can elevate much of the frustration and anger of the American citizen. Use of penalties from predator employers of heavy fines and confiscation of business profits, would pay exceedingly well for internal enforcement?
Stop all this festering issue of illegal immigration. Unless U.S. citizens strive to end this conflict amongst the ruling parties, the immigration debate isn’t going away. None of the political parties are without blame, nor the American people? This invasion has not just started, it’s been gaining momentum of three decades. Its an argument full of venom and pro illegal immigrant-organizations, only have to use the race card to send both politicians and activists cowering in a dark corner. However, times are changing and the globalist, open-border, free-marketeers are not winning any more. Mitt Romney, Obama, Huckabee, Guiliani, Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Richardson, McCain and others are now scrambling to appease the majority of the American citizen population who are fed up with paying the tab for pariah employers.The annual cost to taxpayers is about $22 + billion a year according to Center for Immigration Studies and the tax burden will grow — because 15 million more immigrants are set to arrive by year 2017 according to their latest research.
More than 10 million immigrants have arrived since year 2000; it is estimated that nearly 6 million are illegal. All told, the group of immigrants now account for 38 million at the moment according to the White House’s own census bureau. Fight back today and demand your Washington (Public Servant) co-authors “THE SAVE ACT”.

Menendez is a liar, who support illegal aliens, and their criminal ways, because he is a typical open borders racist. 2008 is going to go the exact opposite direction of the one senor menendez wants. America is tired of supporting illegal aliens, and their criminal behavior!

I think Menendez needs to provide an explanation to what is going on in some Texas border towns such as Laredo, Texas where legal Hispanics are being kidnapped. What is this all about? I think we have a dark volcano about to erupt if every American would tell the truth. Oh yeah, don’t worry, that won’t happen, political seats have to be protected. My God, what have we come to?

Make sure that all of these traitors like this clown Menendez are booted from office—-the first opportunity that arises!!
They are more concerned about their “raza” (race), than they are ALL US citizens and our country as a whole.
Along the border In Laredo, Texas—-there have been NUMEROUS US citizens kidnapped—but you will hear nothing about this from our government and most of our elected officials (like Menendez)—-because they do not want citizens to know.
Also, isn’t it interesting that the illegals who shot the 4 teens execution style—-after slicing them with machetes—-were suspected MS-13 gangbangers.
DO NOT vote for Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Guliani, or Huckabee——ALL of them will give the illegals amnesty—-rewarding them for breaking our laws!!!

Please make a donation to Tom Tancredo’s campaign—so that he can keep fighting for US citizens and our country.
Even if he does not make it as a frontrunner—-if it wasn’t for Tancredo, NONE of these presidential candidates would have been forced to address this issue!!
Tancredo is doing everything in his power to make sure that citizens throughout the country are made aware of ALL issues regarding the illegals. What other politician is out there fighting so hard for US citizens and our country??
Every time Tom speaks during debates or voices his opinions/concerns in Washington——he is speaking for the majority of US citizens who want something done regarding this illegal invasion——not only due to the jobs illegals are taking from US citizens, the fact that they are lowering wages in many occupations, destroying our schools and health care organizations——but also the fact that our country and citizens are being put at risk.
Again, please make a donation to Tom’s campaign—-so that he will remain in the race to make sure that the politicians are forced to continue to address the illegal invasion——and so that he can continue to speak/fight for all US citizens and our country!!
