Angle Criticized for Anti-Immigrant TV Ad
-----------------------------------------



In Nevada, Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle is under criticism
for a campaign ad targeting opponent Harry Reid’s stance on immigration.
The ad warns of undocumented immigrants threatening US families as it
shows Latino-looking men in prison and gang attire juxtaposed with white
schoolchildren.

Narrator: "Waves of illegal aliens streaming across our border, joining
violent gangs, forcing families to live in fear. And what’s Harry Reid
doing about it? Voting to give illegal aliens Social Security benefits,
tax breaks and college tuition, voting against declaring English our
national language twice, and even siding with Obama and the president of
Mexico to block Arizona’s tough new immigration law. Harry Reid: it’s
clear whose side he’s on, and it’s not yours."

Several immigrant rights groups have aired Spanish-language response ads
urging voters to reject Angle.
