"Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Friday that the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill doesn’t have enough votes to pass the Senate."

“But we want to push this bill forward with the most positive votes we can find, more than 60, the 60 we need to be able to pass it here in the Senate, so we can put pressure on the House.”


So even though he says the bill cannot get passed in the Senate he's already plotting a pathetic political ploy against House Republicans.

That's his goal,just get it to the House where it's DOA. Then Dems can say those evil Republicans don't like "immigrants".

But unfortunately for him, like the gun bill, it's not gonna get out of the Democrat Senate.

Perhaps he should take another trip to the Dominican Republic and spend some more of his campaign cash on those under-age prostitutes he's so fond of.
