Menendez a Hispanic, cannot go against his constituents from his stronghold in Hispanic Elizabeth NJ.

Menendez is Cuban. The US doesn't share a border with Cuba.

[Clemenza]

Most of the Hispanics in Elizabeth are Puerto Rican (citizens), Dominican (many of whom have become citizens), or Colombians (Elmora district). Not too many Mexicans in his old district.

Besides, Menendez is a pre-Castro Cuban, ie his parents immigrated to New York a full decade before Fidel came to power. He was raised in an Irish neighborhood. He is about as "Cuban" as Rudy Vallee.

Menendez is a corrupt socialist, pure and simple. His constituents have nothing to do with his embrace of illegal Mexicans.

The jerk pro-illegal Congressman from Chicago is Puerto Rican. They're already citizens.
