A new ad that brutally exposes Donald Trump's hypocrisy vis-a-vis illegal immigration did not come from any of his current opponents, but rather Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump group led by former Mitt Romney aide Katie Packer.
The ad opens by asserting that the reason Trump is skipping Thursday"s GOP debate is "Trump can't handle tough questions, like why he'd let millions of illegal immigrants stay in America and even supports a pathway to citizenship." The ad then shows Trump addressing a Chicago audience last June, sounding as if he endorsed giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Trump lectured, "You have to give them a path and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that."
The ad immediately segues to a recording of Trump telling Fox News on June 18, "How do you throw somebody out that's lived in this country for twenty years? You can't just throw everybody out."
That sentiment, of course, reflected precisely the opposite of Trump's attitude in his immigration plan, in which he ripped politicians, writing, "When politicians talk about 'immigration reform' they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders." In October, Trump accused his then-chief rival, Ben Carson of being "for amnesty and I'm for a very strong border."
The ad follows with a Trump tweet from August 29 in which he supported amnesty for illegal immigrants after a halt to illegal immigration.
After citing Trump's huge hotels, the ad continues, "Why does Trump support amnesty? Maybe because Trump makes big money off illegal immigrants." The ad then notes that "a federal court ruled that Trump's company hired illegal immigrants to help the construction process for Trump Tower. He even paid a million dollar fine, and his new hotel in Washington?" The add quotes a news report stating, "The Washington Post interviewed about fifteen laborers at the D.C. hotel site, reporting that many reveal they entered the U.S. illegally."
The ad concludes: "Amnesty for illegal immigrants. Big money for himself. Can conservatives trust Donald Trump?"
bttt
It’s plenty. Cruz is for in-place amnesty as of last month until Rubio called his rear end on it in the December debate as he sees the games Cruz plays.
Unfortunately there’s a ton of negative info on Trump that hasn’t been yet discovered or publicized.

TMZ is likely salivating as they anticipate what they’ll be doing come October-—it won’t be pretty, IMHO.
Yikes, it should be spelled “lawsuit”.
This is an excellent ad. Thanks for the post, CW!

You almost had us Constitutionalists fooled!! lol
not really.....
It will be on TV according to the WSJ:
The new 60-second ad is part of a $1 million Iowa TV ad buy from Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump group run by former Mitt Romney aide Katie Packer.
Oh Gawd. Not the Truth again.
Get on the Bandwagon. Trump will build THE WALL!
I'm not sure what he will do with it after it is built, but he will build it and then they won't come. HA HA HA.
from Ted's plan....
Per your post 29, isn’t Santorum attending Trump’s rally tonight?
You don’t like the source? Have you noticed all “The Conservative Treehouse” posts that are pro Trump? That sight is disgusting.
Oops.
*Regarding
Bingo
sight = site
What you say I will belie....ve, Donald.....
Oh no, I had just walked into Trump Zombieland and didn’t realize it. Good thing a Trump thug ushered me out for wearing my Cruz pin in time to save me from permanent brain damage. That was close!
Trump wasn’t born in the UK. He was born in the USA. Ted was born in Canada.
