“I remain committed to two primary principles in the area of immigration reform: border security first, and no amnesty.
Until we get better control of our borders and ensure our nation is safer from terrorists, we will never be able to enforce or strengthen our immigration laws. Border control must be priority number one!
The amnesty proposals being put forward in the Senate are a shortcut to citizenship that will increase the flow of illegal immigrants, undercut American workers, bankrupt our health care and Social Security systems, and undermine the efforts of thousands of immigrants who are patiently using legal channels to obtain citizenship or legal working papers. America is a nation of immigrants, but it is also a nation of laws!”
That’s the most refreshing thing I’ve heard from my (former) home state in years.
Are you sure this guy’s in NJ? /s
Yes. I am in his district. He lives about half a mile from me. I could drop by his house and ask him if he meant what he said!
Even if you are not in his district he should be given encouragement to hold his ground on this matter.
I wish this guy could be from my district in Minnesota.
Sigh....... I get Ellison!!!! Swap Reps, anyone???
Good for Rodney!!! He used to be my Congressman. I still haven’t heard from Scott Garrett and where he stands on this issue. Though knowing Mr. Garrett’s voting record, I’m sure his position is the same.
I’m in his district too. Good to know. I will be calling him to thank him.

A good man.
Keep pounding them guys. We can derail this traitorous legislation. (Si se’ puede, just like the illgals say). Two can play the “si se puede” game.

The family has a great history in N.J.
I have the Bordens in the 1600s in NJ
FRELINGHUYSEN, THEODORE [1787-1862]
Theodore Frelinghuysen was the second U.S. Senator in the famous New Jersey Frelinghuysen political dynasty that began with U.S. Senator and Major General Frederick Frelinghuysen [1753-1804], Theodore’s father. Although Theodore can not claim the fame his father received from his battlefield exploits, he had quite an interesting national political and educational career himself.
Theodore Frelinghuysen was born on March 28, 1787 in Millstone, Franklin Township, New Jersey. His parents were Frederick Frelinghuysen [1753-1804] and Gertrude Schenck. His siblings were Catherine Frelinghuysen, John Frelinghuysen [1776-1843], a General who married Louisa Mercer, and after her death married Elizabeth Mercereau Van Vechten, Maria Frelinghuysen, and Frederick Frelinghuysen...............
Now if only we can get a Van Cleef into the House, although I understand old Lee ("The Bad") was a Dem.
NJ has some great congressmen. Most of the scumbags (citizenry and politicians) tend to be concetrated in certain districts around Philadelphia and New York. Still some sensible folks in the western portion of the state, and parts of the south near the shore.
I know. My folks still live there. However, they’re brainwashed into voting all things democrat because the unions tell them to. They essentially live in fear of job loss if they don’t. It a real shame.
I still visit. But I’ll never return.
Good GOP Rep response to the immigration bill. PING
He’s my congresscritter, all right. I will let him know we have the love for him. Thanks for posting and C, thanks for the ping.
Anytime. ;-)
