TV Ad in South Carolina: ‘Bring Americans Victimized by Immigration Out of the Shadows’
Brietbart ^ | Feb. 9, 2016 | Caroline May

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has launched a six-figure TV advertising campaign in South Carolina, in advance of the state's upcoming presidential primary.

The anti-illegal immigration group's TV ad argues that the cliché call to "bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows" should be applied to Americans who have been hurt by illegal immigrants.

"For years, Americans have been told that we need to bring illegal aliens out of the shadows. Here's a better idea. Bring Americans victimized by immigration out of the shadows," Dan Stein, the president of FAIR, says in the ad.

The television commercial was launched Tuesday and will play in all the major markets in South Carolina "hundreds of times" over the coming two weeks, according to FAIR.

"Here's a better idea," Stein continues in the ad. "Bring Americans out of the shadows. The millions who lost jobs to foreign workers, the victims of crime thanks to broken borders, American kids whose places in college were taken by illegal aliens. It's time for Americans to come out of the shadows and speak up."

The ad will air in South Carolina as the presidential candidates make their play for the state's delegates. The Republican presidential primary in the Palmetto State is February 20 and February 27 for the Democratic presidential primary.

“......argues that the cliché call to “bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows” should be applied to Americans who have been hurt by illegal immigrants.”

Knowin’ just what they mean I say ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS are/have been hurt by illegal alien immigration. NOT just those physically victimized.

It’s beyond time to flush the system of the Commie’s responsible, as well the self serving wannabe overlords.

Those ads will hurt Bush and Rubio, and help Trump and Cruz.

Cuba has always been a special case - any Cuban getting to the US is, by definition, legal... baseball player or not.

Cuban migrants seeking to enter the U.S.are overwhelming Mexican and American authorities at the sourthern border in Texas, a sign that despite President Obama’s efforts to normalize relations, there is no respite in immigration from Cuba.

Nearly 30,000 Cubans have made it to Texas this year alone, an increase of 80 percent from the previous year, reports the Washington Free Beacon.

We’re already 19 trillion in debt. We cannot afford this hoard.
We need to take care of our own first.
Our elders and veterans are suffering..our hiways and bridges are falling apart.
We cannot take care of the whole world.

This flood of Cubans needs to be stopped.

Yeah, let’s bring these illegal aliens out of the shadows and DEPORT them to the Third World homes they came from. That includes their kids also. They can reapply for immigrant status like those who immigrated here legally.

I believe Senator Cruz's plan specifies that anyone who ever entered the United States illegally would be forever barred from receiving citizenship. I do like that approach better than Mr. Trump's plan to send them all home but bring the good ones back.

Just from a personal standpoint, if someone breaks into by home and I have to kick them out, I am not likely to invite them back in. If we truly need labor, there are plenty who are standing in line waiting to get here legally.

* I wish they would add the word “illegal” in front of immigration. That’s really the crux of the matter for me. *

The correct term is Illegal Invader or the more P.C. Illegal Alien

Can’t argue that point at all. 30,000 is ... odd and obviously overwhelming, especially given past inflows. I don’t quite get how/why Cubans would be coming in via that route. But for right or wrong, they are classified as legal.

And we’re supposed to take care of them what with being already 19 trillion in debt??
At the current rate of in flow, Cuba will be empty and they’ll all be over here for us to take care of- while our own seniors, veterans and the like suffer.

Obama has ordered a ‘stand down’ to the border guards to let in thousands upon thousands of future Rat voters- including Cubans.
Somebody needs to put a stop to this!!

No, its the high bar allowed for h1bs as well.

Just curious, what kind of companies hire employees with H1B visas and what type of work would they be doing?
