Vote for the Worst Immigration Ad
America’s Voice has put together a compendium of the worst campaign ads of 2008 that were focused on immigration.
You can choose from three:
Obama’s Plan: Driver’s Licenses for Illegals
The National Republican Trust PAC spent launched this ad attacking Barack Obama for supporting driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants and linked this policy to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in an ad that fact-checking sites called “terror-pandering.”
Elizabeth Dole – Days B
Dole’s provocative ad blamed immigrants for lost wages and runaway spending: “… here they came. Costing us a billion dollars each year. Billions in lost wages.”
[SEN-LA] NRSC: Fence
The NRSC attacked incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu (LA) for being on the “wrong side of the fence” on immigration, and lambasted her for this vote and others that were no more “extreme” than Senator McCain’s.
The Border is Broken
“I’ll get tough on illegals,” says congressional contender Jay Love, in an ad that invoked both high-tech surveillance images and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
David Woods for Congress
Alabama congressional contender David Woods put out this ad depicting what are presumably undocumented immigrants swimming across the border. The ad states that he opposes “amnesty for illegal aliens.”
