A new ad released by President Donald Trump's campaign is claiming that Democrats are "complicit" in killings by undocumented immigrants. The ad was released after Senate Democrats opposed a short-term spending bill to keep the government from shutting down.
"President Trump is right — build the wall, deport criminals, stop illegal immigration now," the ad said, showing clips of top Democrats. "Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants."
“President Trump will fix our border and keep our families safe,” the ad concluded. The ad was released on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration.
On Friday, Senate Democrats opposed a short-term spending bill to fund the government and keep it from shutting down after Republicans refused to include a provision to protect thousands of immigrants brought here as children.
President Trump bashed Democrats after the failed vote, saying that they wanted "unchecked illegal immigration."
"Democrats are holding our Military hostage over their desire to have unchecked illegal immigration. Can't let that happen!" he tweeted Saturday morning.
Earlier on Saturday, he again bashed Democrats, tweeting that they were more "concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border."
