    Right. The racist democrats should run the ad across the country.

    Let's try this again, a different way since it is so complicated. Can you show - anywhere - an ad taken by republicans that claims Hispanics or Muslims are criminals? Not talking about an ad that goes after gang members, or terrorists specifically. Just those racial/religious profiles in general?

    This is what I have been trying to get him to provide, yet all he does is back peddle and obfuscate.

    I see a double standard. The so called sanctuary city political ads depict Hispanics as gang members but the truth is that is a stereotype. Something like 40% of people in this country illegally are here on overstayed visas, and the largest people in that population are from Canada. But, when republicans talk about this issue they use Hispanics because that is the stereotype. The largest growing group of people here illegally are Asian. As a matter of fact the percentage of people here illegally from Mexico and South America has flattened since 2009.

    I find it completely ironic that republican voters are outraged because they are being stereotyped in a political ad after having benefitted from stereotyping people for so long.

    I have not back peddled. The only answer I received to my question about how to distinguish a person here illegally was from Tree. He states I should look for people jumping over fences. Therefore I can assume all the people in the ads I linked to in post 21 are here legally because they are not depicted jumping over fences.

    The Sanctuary City "ads" that I have seen target illegal gang members and illegal aliens. After all, that is the whole purpose of the Sanctuary City - to protect the illegals. No Hispanic that is here legally and obeying the law need worry that the government is going to deport them, and they know it.

    I ask again - please show an ad that states that legal citizens or legal residents should not be protected by Sanctuary Citizens, or that Sanctuary Cities need to stop protecting Hispanics or Muslims or any other general category of race/religion groups. Anywhere.

    You are absolutely back peddling. You know your original statement was flawed, and instead of saying "That isn't what I meant" you continue to try to stand by it. Your original comparison of Republicans finally outraged because they are lumped together in such a disingenuous manner being compared to GOP ads lumping all Hispanics and Muslims as criminals is bullshit, and you know it. Show the ads where the GOP has made such generalization. Otherwise, you're full of crap.

    If you manage to find such ads, I will gladly admit I am mistaken (having not seen them) and take your side of the argument to condemn such activity.
