Sen. Robert Menendez is urging the Major League Baseball Players Association to boycott next year's All Star Game in Phoenix over the recently passed Arizona law to crack down on illegal immigrants. The New Jersey Democrat says in a letter that 27 percent of Major League players are Latinos and they shouldn't be subjected to a law Menendez says codifies racial profiling.

My senator should keep his mind in his own backyard. He seems so busy with AZ that he forgot he is screwing up his own state to places never gone before.

Menendez should shut his mouth before people realize who he is, and look into the massive corruption he brings through this state.

Robert Menendez is a idiot.. I hate guys like him.. Keep Sports and Politics separate... This guy is just trying to get his few minutes in the spotlight..

Sen. Robert Menendez...says in a letter that 27 percent of Major League players are Latinos and they shouldn't be subjected to a law Menendez says codifies racial profiling.

Are they all planning to come to Arizona and do something resulting in police contact...then on top of that act suspiciously like they are an illegal so they are then asked for their papers?
