Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) on Friday said it was personally “painful” for him to vote for the “border surge” amendment which aided passage of immigration reform in the Senate, but expressed optimism that the Gang of Eight’s bill was a crucial step towards resolving the contentious issue.

“It was painful to me, and not only in the sense that I believe that it’s a bad policy, as chairman of the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, I believe that it’s a bad policy regarding neighboring countries,” said Menendez in an interview with Univision, according to a transcript.

This idiot should be given a mandatory one-way ticket to El Savador.

Then he can pontificate on open borders there.

Painful my ash! Menendez is a child molester and a lying sack of crap.

Yep. It would ease his pain to think of all those underage girls whose services he could employ.

I still cannot believe he wasn’t forced to resign. It shows just how decadent and dishonest the government has become and how little people care. Politicians have no morals and no shame.
