Sharron Angle ad
A national advocacy organization for immigrants is launching a Spanish-language media blitz in Nevada today in an attempt to use a recent stream of anti-illegal immigration ads from Sharron Angle’s campaign as a reason for Hispanics to vote.
“We’re just tired of people demonizing immigrants,” said Lynn Tramonte, deputy director of America’s Voice, which is making the ad buy.
The sixty-second spots – 154 of them – will air on Spanish-language radio from now until Election Day, for an average of almost one per hour between now and the election.
“The Republican Party has no shame,” the ad begins. “Sharron Angle is one of the key defenders of discriminatory measures. She insults our community over and over again with her proposals, comments and ads. And to top it off, now a Republican group is telling us not to vote.”
“Don’t let them fool you,” it continues, “This election day … vote for your family. Vote for your community. Vote on November 2nd.”
Latinos, who came out in record numbers to support Obama in 2008, are largely expected to be a key constituency for Harry Reid. Reid, though a latecomer in his career to the pro-immigration reform camp, has been one of the most vocal champions of immigration reform in the last Congress, attempting to push a comprehensive overhaul of the country’s immigration laws in 2007 and angling for the DREAM Act – a measure that would put undocumented college students and military enlistees on a pathway to citizenship – in Congress’ last session.
Angle has taken an anti-illegals, pro-enforcement position on immigration, which she has hammered home through several recent campaign ads, the most recent airing this week with the following message:
“Waves of illegal aliens streaming across our border joining violent gangs forcing families to live in fear, and what’s Harry Reid doing about it? Voting to give illegal aliens social security benefits, tax break and college tuition, voting against declaring English our national language twice and even siding with Obama and the president of Mexico to block Arizona’s tough new immigration law,” the ad says.
Though voting Latinos are all citizens by definition, immigration policy is a potent cross-cutting issue in the community, with the greater portion of Latinos favoring candidates whose positions on immigration include a platform for legalizing the status of undocumented workers in the United States.
The Spanish-language advertising campaign is targeted specifically at Nevada and Colorado, where incumbent senator Michael Bennet is facing a stiff challenge from Tea Party-backed Republican Ken Buck. Nevada and Colorado both have large Hispanic populations and were considered swing states going to Obama in the 2008 election.
YOU PEOPLE CAN'T VOTE! THIS IS VOTER Fraud!!! email Drudge, call limpbaugh!
We will DEPORT YOUR CHILDREN. The 14th amendment does NOT give citizenship to children born here illegally. It may take us 10-20 years but WE WILL deport your grandchildren. Our economy requires it. We cannot and will not support the entire planet.
The question is--how many illegal aliens have voted for Senator Barbara Boxer and Gubernatorial hopeful Jerry Brown? California--The Sanctuary State, is a poor excuse for secure citizen voting. Just as one example. Blatant voter fraud happened in 1996 Democrat Loretta Sanchez defeated long-term Republican incumbent Republican Bob Dornan in a bid for the House seat in California's 46th congressional district. Dornan's loss was the result of votes cast by non citizens for Sanchez. Guaranteed--that before this election has ended, there will be serious enquiries into fraudulent registration on behalf of Democratic-Lib extremists.
Are you ready for another $2.6 Trillion dollar tax bill (Heritage Foundation analysts), to add to the growing 13 Trillion dollar US treasury Deficit? Then you just vote for any Democrat, who is going to stick that bill on you, your grandchildren--with another illegal alien AMNESTY. Dump Senator Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and all the Pro-Amnesty, Anti-Sovereignty Democrats and Liberal fringe, including Governors, Mayors, Police Chiefs and elected officers. GOOGLE--Voter Fraud; Illegal alien costs; illegal aliens and Social Security. Search the facts for yourself, because Huffington Press, Washington, Post, Los Angeles Times and the New York Times and the left wing open border fringe media, will spit on the truth and tell you a bunch of lies and propaganda.In conclusion--Keep an eye on absentee ballots and the polling stations, as illegal aliens were caught voting in Houston, Texas. You don't think it cannot happen in your state? GUESS AGAIN.?
Good one, mred. Gave me my chuckle for the day.
I have been commenting about this for quite awhile now. I knew that when efforts to dehumanize, race bait, fearmonger and even conduct blatant racial prejudice against Hispanics seems to be the sole goal, it would receive some backlash.
And it is clear, from the rhetoric inside and outside of Nevada for at least two years now, culminating with a right wing group trying to tell Latinos to not even vote, this is all a neo-conservative, Republican Party agenda.
The time has come for reckoning.
FINALLY, it has clearly come back to bite them in the fanny perpendicular.
I know that there is only so much a man can take when you target a certain group of people (and/or a woman).
The Hispanic voters are now motivated. And they WILL march in unison to the voting booths with fire in their eyes, determined to slap every Republican out of power here in Nevada. Because the hate rhetoric is just too much. And it's neverending. And it clearly originates from the Republican Party.
I am pretty sure Hispanics are not completely satisfied with everything that President Obama and his administration have done so far, but they KNOW they stand a better chance of more fair treatment and rational decision making regarding complex Latino issues than they do with the Repubican Party...a group of people who are more interested in demonizing than solving anything.
I guess Democrats love to be patronized by their political leaders...
This is the first that I have heard (Las Vegas 2009 above) that Nevada was issuing driver's licenses to Illegal Immigrants. If this is so, we need to find out what state polticians voted in favor of whatever legislation allows this and vote them out of office, as well as expose them to the voting public.
I did witness a "strange" incident while waiting in line to vote last week. A worker with an election T-shirt was talking to a Latino man that spoke very broken english. She was helping him fill out a voter registration card. At no time was any identification requested/presented. At the end, the woman told the man that he would receive something (I think a voter registration card) this week and when he did he could then vote in this election. Could this be right that someone can register to vote without prove of identity, that they are a citizen of Nevada and the United States?
Now, I was (and have been for the 13 years I have been in Nevada) asked for my identification, WITH SIGNATURE, each and every time I vote.
Fraudulent voting evidently is becoming a MAJOR issue. But, it must be investigated and stopped.
It's the same as "stuffing the ballot box". We have enough issues with the cost of Illegal Immigrants to our communities that taxpayers must pay. No wonder the state budget is short $3 billion and that our children receive a lower level of education due to "dumbing down" of the curriculum and money spent on non-citizen/non-resident children in our schools.
Who cares about illegals? "Legal" Latinos will still be the majority in 2050. Voting for Miss Sharon will not make Nevada any "whiter." Nobody "brown" is going anywhere.
"...your grandchildren--with another illegal alien AMNESTY..."
Remember, it was our dear President Ronald Reagan who last gave over 3 million illegals amnesty. Republican, not Democrat.
Apparently mred does not want voting by Latinos that are LEGAL CITIZENS! Or course, neither does SHARON ANGLE AND THE RNC!!
Sharron Angle increases lead over Harry Reid.
Angle leads Reid by four percentage points in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, 49% to 45%. Just 2% are undecided and 4% like some other candidate, according to the poll, released a week before Election Day.
Do not be silly roseanrose, study your Constitution before u speaking.
"Fourteenth Amendment.
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
...
question.....
What means to you. NOT give citizenship to children born here illegally???????
Duh.. if you born here you are legal.
I really hope your parents and grandparents and great grandparents born here. if not that makes you ILLEGAL.
There working on the inside helping out each other, in all aspects of this country. It's an inside job.

@latinoinvegas, you are missing "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", no illegal alien is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
This was written for the blacks who were brought into our country and had no citizenship with any other country. They were subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Illegals who come into our country are subject to the jurisdiction of their own country they illegally immigrated from, which is not the United States, and so is their offspring. Their offspring take the citizenship of their parents.
Rush Limpball loves to race bait and divide..It never stops... every election the republicans go after hispanics in the most hateful and divisive ways, it's obvious who's side they are on,they just don't care and hispanics have every right to feel bewildered...this is a dam shame.. the republicans would never go after blacks, Jews or other groups like that today. Remember Pete Wilson in Ca. and you saw what happened ...there will be convention boycotts, if angle wins Nevada will lose and would become another Arizona..what a shame.
Ramsuyass republican fox friendly poll had the same numbers for Obama vs mccain in Nevada a week before election and look what happened so you can quote ramsuyass poll all you want.
Excercise YOUR right to be politically incorrect - VOTE
you're right Barrett, the paragraph I wrote its all about black (people who were brought here, all ready born) but what I want to emphasize says nothing about no give citizenship to people who BORN HERE. I can see you know what you're talking about
