McCain Launches new Immigration Ad Targeted at Hispanics, "Children of God"

heh, notice how the WSJ leaves out in their analysis that he has since said he would vote against him own legislation, instead spinning that he has "since conceded that borders need to be secured as well". You can view the ad at the link. And what is it with the "lets remember from 'time to time' that these are God's children". Only "from time to time"? Like, when one of those times if when you need Hispanic voters? What a cretin.

McCain Launches Immigration Ad Targeted at Hispanics
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.


Expected Republican nominee John McCain’s campaign released a new ad, “God’s Children,” today, tailored to Hispanic audiences that will run in the three Western swing states of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.


The ad features McCain from a June 2007 Republican primary debate performance in New Hampshire during which he extols the contributions Hispanic immigrants have made in the U.S., particularly through military service.

“My friends, I want you the next time you’re down in Washington, D.C., to go to the Vietnam War Memorial and look at the names engraved in black granite. You’ll find a whole lot of Hispanic names,” McCain says in the ad, “When you go to Iraq or Afghanistan today, you’re going to see a whole lot of people who are of Hispanic background. You’re even going to meet some of the few thousand that are still green card holders who are not even citizens of this country, who love this country so much that they’re willing to risk their lives in its service in order to accelerate their path to citizenship and enjoy the bountiful, blessed nation.”

McCain has broken with many in his party on the issue of immigration reform through his earlier advocacy of a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal residents—many Hispanic—currently in the U.S. Efforts to approve such an overhaul of immigration laws last year failed in the Senate—where McCain was a lead author of the bill.

Hard line Republicans, such as former primary reval Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colardo, argue for the deportation of those here illegally, as well as a halt to legal immigration. The latest ad also notably features a clip of Tancredo sitting on the debate stage while McCain speaks.

"So lets from time to time remember that these are God's Children. They must come into the country legally , but they have enriched our country and our nation as any generation of immigrants before them," says McCain in the ad.

1. Does anyone wonder why McSame may not even win Arizona? There's a LOT of the answer.

He doesn't understand at all that Hispanics see the immigration debate from a completely different frame of mind than Anglos do.
