Immigration activists call out Cornyn for dishonest ad

As John Cornyn has taken to the Spanish-language airwaves for his re-election bid, a number of immigration activists are calling him out for flagrant hypocrisy in his latest ad.

The ad called “Tranquilo” shows a scene of Latino children in a classroom with a voiceover in Spanish saying Cornyn supports the legalization of Dreamers (immigrant children brought to this country at a young age). For immigration advocates, the Cornyn ad is a massive lie.

Cornyn has voted against the DREAM Act multiple times. The DREAM Act is a bipartisan bill that would provide legal status for undocumented immigrants who came to America as children and meet certain requirements. He has also taken stances and votes that have undermined true immigration reform.

Cornyn is facing a tough challenge from combat veteran MJ Hegar. A recent poll shows Hegar down just 4 points against the incumbent Senator. Numerous polls also show Biden with a slim lead against Donald Trump in the state. Texas has the second-highest population of Dreamers and undocumented immigrants in the country.

And trump and Cornyn defeated in Texas. Cornyn refused to convict the criminal trump, the one who put children in cages , and the one who has allowed him to go unpunished for many crimes , and he's allowed this virus to kill thousands , and destroy the economy driving debt sky high.. Cornyn also will sit and watch trump destroy health care, Social Security Medicare, the ACA, and then by declaration trump will allow businesses to raid pension funds while Cornyn will sit and allow it to happen. trump and Cornyn have to go or a lot worse will happen, and a lot more corruption and crimes will happen. Vote them out Texans.
