The chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Hispanic Caucus, who moonlights as a spokeswoman for Sharron Angle, this week denounced the Republican U.S. Senate candidate's ad on immigration.
Tibi Ellis on Monday told 1060 AM Spanish radio host Edwin Saldarriaga that she doesn't agree with Angle's depiction of illegal immigrants in a campaign ad released earlier this month.
"I condemned this type of propaganda, no matter who is running them, where they blame Mexicans as the only problem and where they attack them as the only source of illegal immigration," Ellis told Saldarriaga. "I don't agree with that."
Ellis stressed to Saldarriaga that she was not representing Angle during the interview. Ellis, however, has served as a spokeswoman for Angle, according to an interview she gave to Texas GOP Vote, in which she recounted a campaign trip she took with Angle to Denton, Texas.
Ellis previously was seeking Nevada's Assembly District 5 seat but lost in the June primary.
The commercial Ellis criticized shows men with flashlights lurking next to a chain-link fence as ominous background music plays and a voice warns about "illegals sneaking across our border putting Americans' safety and jobs at risk." Angle calls Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "the best friend an illegal alien ever had" in the ad.
"Sharron Angle's extreme hostility toward Hispanic Nevadans is so blatant and so striking that not even her own campaign surrogates can avoid denouncing her shameless efforts to play on voters’ worst fears with her thoroughly-debunked lies about immigration," Reid spokesman Kelly Steele said.
Ellis and Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
CORRECTION: The article originally said Ellis is running for Nevada's Assembly District 5 seat. | (September 29, 2010)
Any Hispanic in the republican party should be used to anti-immigration rhetoric. If they didn't have someone to hate (gays, minorities, environmentalists, scientist, liberals, etc.) the GOP would cease to exist.
enemies and aliens, e gad, we are under attack
Democratic leader sen. Harry Reid has refused to do anything about the illegal alien invasion of the United States, including Nevada. Like California-that has been branded a "Sanctuary City" Nevada is on a similar collision course. Both states have are on the edge of insolvency, because of the massive influx of illegal aliens that have become bottom feeders at the welfare office.
S
Old Harry ignored that hundreds of thousands of jobs being served by unscrupulous casinos, the construction industry and all manner of businesses to the illegal alien households--But did delight Union bosses. This man has been fixated on pleasing the illegal alien population that has lowered wages and ruined the benefit packages of US workers. But truly this cannot be blamed on just illegal immigrants, but the greed of a large majority of business owners who hunger for cheap labor. The Tea Party and moderate Conservatives believe that if we can remove the major players in the Liberal-Democratic administration, the bipartisan acceptance--will build the original Border Fences as signed into law by President Bush. Not--ONE fence, But Two, spreads its security across the region separating Mexico from the US. Sen. Harry Reid, two Texas Republicans Kay Bailey Hutchinson, John Cornyn administered the coup-de-Grace on the 2006 Secure Fence Act and nearly E-Verify.
That second 15 foot chain-link fence similar to a prison outside fence was to be wrapped with razor wire, from one end of America to the other. If the--ORIGINAL--border fence plans had been followed, it's unlikely Governor Brewer would not be going to court, to protect the Arizona taxpayers. A small town called Oracle, Arizona is being ostracized, because a small controversial sign sitting on some private land. Another point is GOP, Republican--Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle as a new entrant to the halls of power can be shaped by public opinion, unlike Reid. We must remember that if we do not stop any form of Amnesty now, the teeming millions who want here will never stop, especially when America offers the rest of the world unlimited public benefits. We have observe this from the unlimited resources given to the babies receiving instant citizenship, starting with free pre-natal health care and then education for every child thereafter they give birth too.
Sen. Harry Reid must be forcibly retired, with--ALL INCUMBENTS--driven out by lack of votes. You can pursue your Senator or Congressman at the Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121We must wipe the slate clean and remove the corrupted political debris from every state, of--ALL--elected officials which includes Governors and Mayors. Senator Harry Reid must not get any second chance of passing the Dream act, because it is a farce and one big lie. Its AMNESTY! This November we must be on our guard, vigilant against illegal aliens violating our voting federal laws, specifically in California and Nevada, but also every other state. Absentee ballot voting is specifically vulnerable in an "honor System" that doesn't work anymore.

Senator Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi is part of the Liberal-Democratic fringe, that must be unseated in November, because he has accumulated a bad record on his illegal immigration agenda.. Not just in the Silver state but crosses the whole of America with his undercurrent of financial issues, that outside of the Dream Act, if in power after November he will soak taxpayers for astronomical amounts of money to fund illegal alien amnesty. Harry Reid is a callous being, who is ruthless in forcing through another damaging amnesty, which is full of hidden costs that are not seen until taxpayers are confronted with the billions of dollars to be spent. Next in line is majority Nancy Pelosi and a whole group of politicians are thinking that if they adopt the Dream Act, a path to citizenship or amnesty for everybody who steps from a plane, or runs the flimsy gauntlet called the border fence. Attention--ALL--Nevadans', you have seen your states serious unemployment, mass home foreclosures, that Sen. Harry Reid is directly accountable.
In the national arena why has Sen. Reid held back on tax cuts to all Americans, but used his influence to push through the De-Facto Amnesty--called the dream Act? Something I recommend is to judge those elected officials that administer to every individual county, countrywide. Investigate and find out the expenditures for illegal alien support for such locations as San Diego County, California, Broward County, Florida or Clarke County, Nevada? In most localities you will come up against a dead end, because that particular county department of Social services doesn't keep records, or even the state agency. Other officials will refuse to talk about it, because of the amounts involved that comes out of your pocket. One place that does keep accounting is Los Angeles, California that surprises me is that any records are released at all in LOS ANGELES COUNTY?
Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected nearly $22 million in welfare and over $26 million in food stamps in June, according to county Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. Projected over a 12 month period, this would exceed $575 million. Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds $1 billion dollars which includes $350 million for public safety, $400 million for health care, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations. Twenty-four percent of the county's total allowance of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to U.S.-born children of illegal aliens. That is just one large county in the United States and the expenditures for illegal alien. Ask your families Political Representative the true cost of your counties payments in welfare and other social services--if you can get a foot in the door? Is it no wonder the "Sanctuary State" is on the edge of bankruptcy and needs more taxes to pay for this?
A senator Angle will set this state back 20 years. Vote smart Nevada. You know it and I know it. Angle is not your GOP answer and as 65% GOP voters have asked for but unfortunately, you can not do a primary do over. You will do great harm to this state with an Angle election
This blog is misleading and in some statements inaccurate. I am not running for office. I attended this program, at a Christian radio station, as a catholic celebrating the feast of St Vincent the Paul, patron of all charities. I did not attend as a politician and was not representing any campaign, as I stated many times during the program.
The comment about illegal immigration were in response to many student callers that expressed their frustration because the Reid desperate attempt to get Hispanic votes via a last minute Dream Act legislation failed.
Casca, save it for a bad novel.
No one on these blogs (except your mother maybe) takes time to read 20,000 word rants.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but ILLEGAL immigrants have no vote, so there is no last minute agenda. Harry Reid's proposal to acknowledge permanent undocumented residents seems like a sound way to document and tax these residents. Angle's attempt to alienate Hispanic residents should be met, come November, with across-the-board vote of no-confidence from every citizen that truly believes we are all created equal. It would be a grand thing to see Nevadans stand toe-to-toe against bigotry the same way that the GOP stands toe-to-toe against reform that would help America.
Another day in AngleWorld...
"Yes, I work for Angle.
No, I don't agree with her policies.
Yes, I have sold out big time; I am quite literally talking out of both sides of my mouth!"
What was Angle doing campaigning in Denton, Texas, for crying out loud? Maybe she had a stopover to refuel the Spaceship, and had a little impromptu with the locals???
Bet it scared the bejesus out of em'!
So even Republicans are getting sick and tired of Sharrontology's nasty scapegoating of brown people. Those ads are chock full of lies, and they do nothing but demonize Latin@s, many of them are US citizens who have lived here legally for generations.
Angle's efforts to demonize backfire again? I'd get tired of these stories, but the schadenfreude is too much!
Dear Tellis, Senator Reid will have the Hispanic vote for the same reason he will win every other group, he is the best candidate for Nevada's future.
crazy Sharron AGAIN! She hates other women, they deserve to be beaten, parents of handicapped children need to take care of them, even if no health insurance is available, Veterans can go to hell because HER daddy doesn't need money, forget about social security, let eveyone invest in the stock market for their social security get rid of all Mexicans here legal or not and when questioned, Her reply, "I NEVER SAID THAT" Really??? Yes, you did. What a crazy loon, along with O'Donell in Delaware, and Palin from hick country as well.That's only naming a few. Crazy Sharron, do us all a favor and re-commit yourself to the aslyum, you escaped from! She needs "handlers?" All mutts need handlers, especially the rabid ones.She needs a Doctor before everyone in this state puts Yucca Mountain waste in HER BACK YARD!!! You,Sharron are an embarrassement to all womenhood. AND you are a backwoods bigot!!!
I find this whole thing hilarious.
Because something is reported. And, since it sheds Sharron Angle in a bad light, then again by someone who once worked for her, but now clearly doesn't because of what happened...we have this incredible deluge of comments that desperately try to do damage control.
Too late.
Sharron Angle, as in previous instances, is basically...um....insane.
And I say that truthfully.
Because whatever she can do to portray her in a bad light, and present her as she really is...a candidate for the Republican Party that is incredibly out of touch with her craziness...she does it. And she does it all the time. And she does it with innocence...in that she looks around and goes...well....um...that's what I am about...and...um...why don't you people think warped crap like I do? Then she, and her minions, all seem to jump up and down and scream that it isn't so...that Sharron Angle is mom's apple pie and whipped cream...and that isn't me..you got me wrong...but still...no matter how the normal sane people look at it...they are left with this: THIS WOMAN IS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS CRAZY AND DOES NOT BELONG IN POLITICS BUT IN SOME EXTENSIVE CARE SOMEWHERE!
Get out the popcorn and soda. Because more is coming. It's going to be nothing but pure enjoyment for those that love to read between the lines.
And this Republican Party circus clown act will continue until November 2.
But thankfully, we'll all be content in the fact that on November 3rd, after the dust settles, we'll witness Sharron Angle ride off into the sunset back to Reno...never to be seen again on the political battlefield. Vaporized. Disintegrated. KAH BLOOEY! Gone. Finito. Nothing but a footnote in Nevada political history books.
Like I always say...I prefer sanity...not just tea. Because the tea the Republican Party is serving is foul.
Its dispicable when politicians use hate, fear or play the race card for their own personal gain.
They use racist propaganda in a desperate attempt to manipulate voters.
This may be a fatal mistake for Sharon, hope all the MexiCANS send that redneck back to Reno.
The entire country thinks she, and whoever voted for her is an idiot! This election will decide the fate of Nevada.
Granted, Mexicans may not be the ONLY source of illegals but they are certainly counted amongst being the HIGHEST number of illegals here. Guess the truth hurts and some people keep wanting to kiss their butts for an illegal vote :(
It's ok to hope the LEGAL Mexicans send her packing but unfortunately it's probably the ILLegals who will determine the outcome - and that's just plain wrong in any book. Why in the world does this country continue to look the other when when someone who isn't even a citizen of this country is allowed to cast a vote? Just what in the h e double hockey sticks is going on in this country and when will it ever end? New country to be called AmeriMex and the new language will be Spanglish.
I'm sure if I were in Poland or Germany (as an example) and went to their poll and tried to cast a vote that the mere fact that I can't even speak Polish, German (or whatever) would be reason enough for them to question the validity of my being there and the validity of my casting a vote. If it's ok for other Countries why not for this Country as well? Why all the concern over being considered racist when it's simply a matter of common sense? Can the racism, can the race card and can the so-called Political Correctness - just do what's right for the citizens of this country - you know - the ones whose taxes keep this country running.
I had to read your above three comments a few times, azsk8fan. Mainly because I am amazed that you think that illegal aliens are allowed to vote here in Nevada.
They aren't. And there are plenty of checks and balances in the system that prevents them from casting a vote.
But don't worry, azsk8fan. There are plenty of Hispanic American voters who are going to march in lockstep to the voting booths with fire in their eyes on November 2nd. And every one of them is resolute that they are going to cast their vote for Senator Reid. Because they all know to vote in Sharron Angle would be stupid.
Because the Republican Party, not only on local levels, but on a national lever, do nothing but demonize and promote race baiting; totally counter productive to any and all hopes of us becoming a UNITED States of America. And due to continuation of their idiocy in promoting xenophobia, the Republican Party has basically mobilized these particular voters like never before. A sleeping giant has awakened. And it is guaranteed that Hispanic Americans living in Nevada WILL flex their muscle at the voting booths.
Believe it.
It is not being a racist to say something bad about a citizen from another country. Every country has their own races.
It is being a racist if you say something about a citizen and it is against them or their heritage.
Ellis is just another biased, insignificant person who can't see the validity of Angle's campaign ad. Angle's ads don't attack Latinos---they attack ILLEGAL ALIENS! Those who can't see the difference can join-in with Ellis in making fools of themselves. As a point of education, may I remind Ellis and other biased, clueless people, that our southern border is with-----MEXICO!
If you think its just Harry Reid against the Arizona Law your wrong, the LVVCA is against it. Racism is bad for tourism.
ColonFromLasVegas: Say goodbye to Harry for me.
The morons & racists will vote for Angle, everyone else for Reid! lol
The Clark County Early Voting Guide is written in both English and Spanish as most government literature is today.
That's not entirely the fault of Spanish-speaking people. It is the fault of our government and the anti-American traitors who work from within.
That will all change by the end of the day of November 2nd 2010.
We are Americans and we have ONE language ENGLISH.
Soon, we will no longer need to "dial one for English" in America. Spanish will be banned from all government literature and English will be required of all citizens. We need not worry about illegals, they will be immediately shipped out of the country.
At the end of the day of 2 November 2010 Liberalism will fall in America.
Sharron Angle shall be the next United States Senator of Nevada.
You can always vote for Reid, who wants to give illegals more rights and money.
Cliff Harrison said "That's not entirely the fault of Spanish-speaking people. It is the fault of our government and the anti-American traitors who work from within."
I guess I'm one of those "anti-American traitors" to whom you refer. I grew up in the Peoples Republic of California which is now a majority minority state. While not a huge segment, there are actually citizens there, born of citizens, whose command of english is sufficiently poor that having government documents in other languages enables them to better understand their rights and how to deal with their government. Some of those people are of hispanic ethnicity, some asian, some african but citizens whose english is not as good as their mother tongue.
My children went to a public school in LA's school district where ESL is taught to children (the vast majority of whom are citizens and legal residents) whose mother tongues were over 100 different languages. My children grew up tolerant of those differences and better for the experience of knowing people of many different cultures.
In my view, anyone who feels the need to deprive those citizens of the benefit of translation assistance is likely xenophobic and probably racist. The day of the U.S. being a homogeneous Nation of white english speaking people is long gone and you might want to consider adapting.
I wonder if Sharon read this:
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jun...
Is it just me, or do Angle AND her supporters seem to speak a different language???
I honestly cannot understand half of what they say.
She has the right to disagree; so what, husbands, and wife's disagree at some point. look at Senator Reid's terrible record of immigration.

You poor pathetic burrito lovers don't know the difference of hispanic and illegal.
Spin, spin, spin. Hispanic citizens are people here in our country legally. Then we have Mexican illegal aliens who are not here leagally.
Those of you who try to paint Angle as a racist better try and lose your stupidity and learn the meaning of racism.
Racism has nothing to do with illegals in our country. Racism deals with citizens in our country who are being put down because of their ethnicity.
You stupid people who will try and accuse Angles' ad as racism must either an illegal yourselves or wanting to benefit the illegal agenda. That's not racism, that's treason. You all might as well pack your bags and head back to Mexico.
True Citizens are needed in our country these days with all the problems we are having. We don't need any more people trying to make 20 million illegals citizens.
Why don't you people quit trying to help the illegal agenda and get on the bandwagon and start helping fellow americans? Helping illegals will hurt our country before it will ever help.
Let's send the federal lawbreakers back to their country of origin and get our citizens back to work. No more green cards and no more work visa cards until we get americans back to work. This is still the United States of America and we should pound this into the democrats heads. Take care of we the people, or you will lose your job.
Go ahead vote for Harry Reid, don't come crying back around here when you lose your job.
The anger about illegal immigration is misplaced. It is directed at people entering our country illegally to find jobs. The real villains are the AMERICAN businesses and AMERICANS that hire them illegally. Business greed to make an extra buck by hiring low wage workers is the underlying cause of the problem. Illegals wouldn't be here if AMERICAN business was following the law.
We have met the enemy and they are us.
Has anyone noticed Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the country?
I wonder why that is the case & what is being done to help Nevadans find work?
Anyone?
@PISCES41 Hah! It's not the bank robbers fault the bank is the one who inticed the robber into the bank because of its money.
These people stealing into our country know exactly what they are doing!
If our government would enact e-verify and enforce it we would controll the illegals.
1. The illegal breaks our laws and comes into our country.
2. The businesses hire with out using e-verify.
3. Our government doesn't enforce our immigration laws.
@ Tastychap, we;ve got around 200,000 american citizens here in CC that don't have jobs.
Our state figures we have around 200,000 illegals here in C.C.
Take the illegals out of their job and put our citizens back to work.
Nevada doesn't care about our unemployed citizens or they would have done something similar to Arizonas' illegal immigration laws. The hotels and construction companies don't care about the citizens either, I've heard they fire the citizens and hire the illegals on the same job.
This is a mexican friendly state at the cost of our citizens.
If you're so sure the illegals don't get in to cast their illegal votes why do I continue to hear so much about how Harry Reid sides with the illegals because of their votes? Remember - one can not ask if they're a citizen - they somehow manage to get SOMEONE else's Social Security number (called Identity Theft)... they manage to get free government hand-outs left and right (called WELFARE)... so what makes you so convinced they don't manage to cast their illegal vote? I wouldn't be so sure about that. Frankly - I don't care for EITHER candidate - I just figure Reid has us about rock-bottom - there's nowhere to go but up - so the worst Angle can do is KEEP us at rock bottom - and if not then, like I said, there's nowhere to go but UP - we certainly can't get any lower than we are now :(

------------------------------------
You are wrong- Senator Reid is one of those enemies
Senator Harry Reid's horrible record of Illegal Immigration.
http://www.ontheissues.org/International...
These illegal immigrants are also enemies to our economy, they purposely come here and have as many babies as they can, who will be on welfare, the tax payer have to fund the delivery of that child. the list goes on and on, no other Country on this planet have allowed it's immigration laws to be violated in this kind of way.
@Cliff Harrison - I totally agree - everything SHOULD be written in one and only one language - that being ENGLISH. Afterall - it's the only language people USED to be taught in when we started school. Imagine the money saved if we didn't have to print in multiple languages not to mention the money saved if we didn't have to provide Interpreters to those going thru the court system :( And yes, it IS the fault of this mealy-mouthed government - no one with the ballz to set it straight :( :( and @Hank (LVrider) regarding 'translation assistance' - let those who need it PAY for it themselves - I'm tired of paying for people TOO LAZY to make any effort to learn the language. How bout we all learn sign language and help THOSE people out - they're not deaf by choice or because they're too lazy to simply hear - what special effort is made to be more accomodating to deaf people - not much ....
CNN Times poll......Angle 49% Reid 47% Why is that? Mad voters fired up will show up @ the polling booth more than deflated Demos. Bank on it!
The time has come for real immigration reform. The people that come here illegally do jobs others will not. Stephen Colbert's recent testimony to Congress, while absurd in his style, hammers these points home. As long as the GOP folks like Angle sees demonizing this audience as useful, nothing will change.
And other thing most people probably don't know is that something like $9B a year is paid into social security by illegals. Those funds helps keep the system solvent. If you want to know more Google "earnings suspense file" and check it out.
"Illegals wouldn't be here if AMERICAN business was following the law." - PIECES41
You are basically correct, the number of illegal immigrants would be greatly reduced if there were no jobs for them. We have dramatic truth of this just by looking at the numbers of illegal residents decline here in Las Vegas as jobs dry up.
Now tell me this, why has Harry Reid consistently blocked all attempts at making E-verify mandatory on federal contracts, even when the House has approved it?
C'mon Harry wants the hispanic vote.
@MWCRob; you maybe correct that illegal immigrants pay in something like $9B into Social Security. But they don't keep it solvent safe because they draw off 100s of billions of dollars. And the Social Security numbers they use belong to someone else and that is why the government does nothing, because it makes so much money on that same S.S.number every time a bunch of other illegals use that same number.
And news for you. A recent trip to our local Social Security office on Buffalo in Las Vegas revealed that the overwhelming majority of the people at the office were Hispanics AND you do not have to be a citizen who paid into the system in order to collect (called getting the benefits). The Social Security Administration has a special program to pay slackers with our money so, that's not keeping it very solvent.
That is complete bull that illegals are doing jobs American's don't want except for the drug manufacturing, drug dealing and prostitution, auto thief, and those types of jobs, in those cases yes I agree most American's don't want them.
And lvrider46, I'm sorry you feel you grew up in another country because you had so many enlightening languages spoken around you by the anchor babies of illegals who knew how to gain U.S. citizenship for their children, the key word you used is "benefit" but you handsomely left out "entitlement".
I hope you are not implying that I am racist when a majority or a significantly large number of my friends are of a race other than my own. But they speak English, that's how I got to know them. lol. They are also LEGAL citizens,
Now, I could have said all of this in less words and used only one sentence: Vote for Sharron Angle!
The chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Hispanic Caucus is a: "liberal illegal supporting progressive" now, am i right Tea Partiers?
I betcha. .
Markey- an who really cares- am I right? yes I am.
Sinister Reid's got to go.
http://www.ontheissues.org/International......
http://www.ontheissues.org/International...
MWCRob, You are saying that the illegals paid in $9B from their paychecks?
The United States has around 20 million citizens that are unemployed, don't you think that they could pay those taxes and SS payments and we know they would for sure go into an americans account, not into any slush fund accounts for greedy politicians.
Every time anyone tries to tell me that the illegal is good for our economy I think about the millions of citizens who lost their jobs to outsourcing, still waiting for work. What really upsets me is the illegals working in our country, taking away jobs from our unemployed and I hear that americans wouldn't do these jobs, HAH!
Within the last few weeks a garment manufacturer was raided by ICE and they arrested hundreds of illegals working there. While the incident was taking place hundreds of americans lined up at the factory to apply for work, they had heard a news report on the radio.
Jobs americans don't want to do. Don't tell me that there are jobs in this country americans won't do. Who did this work before the illegals invaded?
