Thomas Kean Jr. on Immigration Republican challenger

Illegal migration is a significant national security concern

Menendez’ soft voting record on immigration is dangerous

MENENDEZ: An enforcement-only approach-which Kean now supports-has not worked. But last spring, Kean called for a path towards legal status for illegal immigrants if they paid a fine-similar to the bi-partisan bill I voted for. However, just two weeks later, Kean said the legislation should include deporting all undocumented immigrants. Making a felon of anyone undocumented would bring about the most massive roundup and deportation in the history of the world.

KEAN: Menendez voted against hiring 10,000 new border agents; voted against a security fence across the US-Mexico border; and voted against enhancing sentences for illegal aliens convicted of a violent crime. That’s a dangerous voting record. My immigration stance can be summed up in two sentences:

• Unlike Menendez, I do not support amnesty for illegal migrants.
• Unlike Menendez, I do not support giving Social Security and other benefits to illegal migrants.

Stronger borders, no amnesty for illegals
