Sen. Bob Menendez accused immigration enforcement agents Wednesday of ignoring the rights of some citizens and legal immigrants because they speak Spanish or have dark skin.
“We need to face a blunt reality: Our legitimate desire to control our borders has too often turned into a witch hunt against Hispanic Americans and other people of color,” Menendez, D-N.J., said in an impassioned 18-minute speech on the Senate floor. “Common sense repeatedly loses out to hysteria.”"*
