The Service Employees International Union - fresh off its endorsement this week of Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton - is launching a multimillion dollar advertising campaign blasting GOP candidates for their "anti-immigrant attacks."
The campaign will target Republicans like Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Jeb Bush, who have suggested rolling back the Obama administration's immigration policies.
It is timed to run over the one-year anniversary of the president's controversial executive order allowing millions of illegal immigrants to live in the U.S.
"One year ago, President Obama took historic action, standing up for all families striving to achieve the American Dream," SEIU International executive vice president Rocio Saenz said in a statement. "Since then, we have reached one full year of consistent attacks against Latino and immigrant families. It's simply inexcusable."
The SEIU will run the ad beginning Thursday. A Spanish language version will run nationwide on Univision and Telemundo during the Latin Grammy Awards. An English version will run online in Texas, Nevada, Colorado, and Florida.
The SEIU is spending "six-figures" on the ad, which is part of a larger multimillion campaign for immigration reform.
The GOP presidential hopefuls will be scolded for their "radical and hateful language against immigrant communities."
The ad opens with news clips of Cruz, Rubio and Trump calling for more restrictive immigration policies, then shoots to a voice-over: "Now, it's time for our community to say no. We will not accept hate. We will not allow anti-immigrant attacks."

Talk about BAD timing!
An angry Obama upbraids critics who want to block refugees from Syria
....Obama thinks his critics have been reckless with their rhetoric and simplistic in their approach to solving complicated problems in a dangerous world. Denying desperate migrants entry to the United States will not keep Americans safer, he said. Rather, it risks making the country complicit in the problem, weakening the United States' standing abroad.
"What I do not do is to take actions either because it is going to work politically or it is going to somehow, in the abstract, make America look tough or make me look tough," the president said. He accused his rivals of wanting to "pop off" without proposing any viable alternatives, and he mocked the Republican presidential candidates for boasting that they could stare down Russian President VladiÂmir Putin in Ukraine or the Islamic State in Syria while they complained about hostile moderators in a recent GOP debate.

“.....I’m Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio....and I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE!!!....”
If I were one of the three candidates the SEIU mentions, I’d send them money to run even more of these ads.
...this also shows the three candidates the liberals fear the most......interesting.....
These SEIU bass turds all need to be deported.
"The House is poised to approve legislation on Thursday freezing the flow of refugees from Syria, placing Senate Democrats in political jeopardy.
Democrats are caught between their support for President Obama, who the White House promises will veto the legislation, and public opinion polls that show the GOP-backed measure is popular."................
If you have not noticed the TSA also has many foreign types and so does this scum of a union. I recall a foreigner throwing out an expensive lotion from one of my wife’s bags as he thought it was some chemical warfare BS. I kid you not. This was in the Las Vegas airport as we were flying home.
Only Trump and Cruz are on the side of the citizens and the rule of law. Rubio and Yeb! are on board the Cheap Labr Express. Rubio has already said he would not roll back Obama’s illegal measures for illegal aliens.
SEIU using rank and file money to support illegal immigration that is going to screw the rank and file, and the rank and file rejoice!
Money stolen from American workers being used by a bunch of commie thugs to elect more commie thugs. This isn’t an “American value”.
Advertising works on those that have not made up their minds.
Uncontrolled immigration into the United States is something that people are beginning to be aware of. And they don’t like it.
Currently there is no “up” side for the United States to continue to take third world cast offs. They bring no skills, they do not share our culture or values, and some may want to kill us.
Americans want secure borders, and they want to limit immigration. Politicians that ignore that fact are going to feel the back lash.
Doesn’t SEIU know that illegal immigration puts their own kind out of work?
Oh yeah, forgot they don’t want to work. They can live off taxpayer funds...
schadenfreude.....is a wonderful thing...
That is true....however, in this specific case, I'm glad they're doing it. This will help all three of the candidates they "target."
Must get them closer to filing for unemployment...or better yet...permanent disability benefits.
Bring it on. People are fed up with the invasion.
The SEIU doesn’t give a damn about their rank and file. All they care about are collecting dues for political activity. If illegals take the jobs they’ll just collect the dues from them.
Exactly correct. The candidates anti-immigration stance is the REASON they are leading in the polls!!
Yep, and I bet they’re doing high fives at Trump, Cruz and Rubio HQ over this......a dollar your enemy spends that helps you is worth ten dollars you spend to help yourself.
The next President needs to eliminate all public sector unions as part of a government employment reform package.
Throw the word comprehensive in there to confuse the socialists into supporting it. They love that word.
:-)
interesting point.....by the way, I wrote like 4- 5 years ago in American Thinker an article titled “End Public Sector Unions...Period.”
Well, here it is...easy to find on Google still: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2011/02/end_public_sector_unionsperiod.html
