Blue State Republicans Hit Dems on Immigration

Published



Two GOP Senate candidates in blue states are running new TV advertisementss knocking their Democratic opponents over immigration. In Michigan, Republican Terri Lynn Land’s campaign has released an ad knocking Democratic congressman Gary Peters for “flip-flopping” on border enforcement and being “two-faced on immigration.”

The 30-second spot shows Peters speaking in April 2013 to an immigrant rights group, saying “certainly, enforcement is very important.” Next, Peters is shown in July 2013 speaking to a chamber of commerce group in which he says, “immigration reform is not about more enforcement.”
