Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer waded into immigration politics in her first Spanish-language ad, hammering her Republican opponent, Carly Fiorina, for supporting Arizona’s controversial new immigration law.

The spot, which is airing this week on Spanish-language stations in Los Angeles, San Diego and Fresno, includes the central themes in Boxer’s English-language ads, which blast Fiorina for overseeing some 30,000 layoffs and relocating jobs abroad while chief executive at Hewlett-Packard.

But they also fault Fiorina for her silence on what steps should be taken, if any, to deal with the estimated 12 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Fiorina has maintained that discussion of immigration reform is a distraction from the federal government’s chief responsibilities of securing the border and creating a viable guest worker program.

The Boxer ad uses Fiorina’s statement in a May primary debate that comprehensive immigration reform isn’t needed “to do what must be done,” to argue in the ad that Fiorina opposes legislation addressing the issue. “Fiorina is against comprehensive immigration reform,” the ad’s narrator says, “and prefers a discriminatory law like the Arizona law. She is not with us. Her only interest is herself.”

1. Next we will see a Republican enter a bill in Congress saying that all

ads must be in ENGLISH, just so that Republicans can know what is being said about them!

Republicans assume no American citizen could POSSIBLY be a native Spanish speaking person, they also think that Puerto Rico is a foreign country.

4. I can attest to that..

"they also think that Puerto Rico is a foreign country."

It's happened to me personally, I am always amused at their level of confusion when they learn that my parents speak very poor english and that I am basically a generation away from coming from that far away land of Puerto Rico..... booga-booga-booga!! lol

8. Puerto Rico......a place all Americans should fear.....because people there do NOT

speak English!!!!!!!!!!

How could that POSSIBLY be part of the USA? We ALL speak English, don't we?

We all have light white skin, we all worship the same Christian God. That is the definition of "American".

Oh please, do I have to put this up?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Yeah, someone will be insulted because they are as white as me, and understand as little Spanish as I do.
