Here: Look at this (the hookers words from the link): "That senator also likes the youngest and newest girls,” the woman wrote on April 21, 2002"

That senator....in 2002.......Hmmmmm..... Bob Mendez did not become a Senator until 2006, so how could she refer to him as "senator" in 2002?

Don't make me laugh. Aren't drugs still entering this country through that "never been so secure" border? And, almost half of illegal aliens are visa overstays. DHS has no idea if or when people leave. How on earth can they pass CIR without first correcting this problem?

Quote:
Roughly 40 percent of illegal immigrants in the United States simply overstayed their legal visas once they are in the country, but the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has limited resources to identify and remove these overstays, congressional investigators reported Tuesday.

Five of the 19 hijackers responsible for carrying out the 9/11 terrorist attacks overstayed their visas, noted Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), committee chair, and Susan Collins (R-Maine), its ranking member. In addition, GAO reported that 36 of about 400 terrorists convicted by the United States since 9/11 had overstayed their visas to remain in the country.

The reality is that US-VISIT remains a very troubled and ineffective program.

"Identifying individuals who overstay is a crucial component of securing our borders, and it is simply unacceptable that we are still unable to systematically identify people who overstay -- some of whom may be terrorists waiting to attack innocent Americans. I am asking Secretary [Janet] Napolitano to update the committee on current efforts within the Department to close this dangerous vulnerability," he added.
Homeland Security Today: DHS Lacks Resources to Identify and Remove Visa Overstays, GAO Says


This story may not be true, but Menendez definitely employed an illegal alien sex offender. He would still be working if he hadn't applied for DACA.

Ah yes, he should go to prison for a guy who interned at his office for two months that he more than likely had nothing to do with hiring him, that was a mistake on the hiring agent in his office. And not really grounds for imprisonment, but I get it you are still sore that he crushed the Republican during the election.

However, being a True American, I do not advocate punishment before conviction. That all Americans are presumed innocent before a court of law is a bedrock foundation of our Constitution.

I note that the senator has denied the allegations:

Bob Menendez Denies He Was With Prostitutes In Dominican Republic

However, all that being said, I would certainly hesitate before allowing this person to be left alone around any of my younger female relatives. There is jurisprudence, and then there is prudence.
What she said.

What further proof do you need?

Proof that can hold up in a court room and have the defendant either found innocent or guilty, till then in America he is still innocent until proven guilty....unless you are anti American and don't believe in the American system.

In most of the US, consensual sex with a 16 year old is called "legal." Here in Colorado it's called "a misdemeanor."
What about NJ?

This has nothing to do with Anti Americanism.

Anyway this just gets better:


Menendez’s alleged Dominican prostitution spree coincided with crusade against prostitution in Cuba
