BY RAMSEY TOUCHBERRY ON 11/1/18 AT 6:00 PM
A new racially-charged ad released by President Donald Trump and the Republican Party on Wednesday featured a convicted cop-killer who was in the United States illegally. The man, Luis Bracamontes, was convicted in February and sentenced to death in April for the murder of two California deputies in October 2014.
The presidents new ad, which remained pinned to the top of his Twitter profile as of Thursday, claimed that Democrats let him into the country, and Democrats let him stay.
Trump further encouraged those who saw the video to vote Republican now! because it was outrageous what the Democrats are doing to our country.
But Bracamontes, in fact, returned to the country under the watch of Republican and Democratic administrations, and remained in America under both Republicans and Democrats.
After being deported by President Bill Clinton and again by President George W. Bush, Bracamontes reportedly returned to the U.S. illegally his final time under Bush where he remained until the 2014 shooting of the two sheriffs deputies.
In addition, the presidents ad fails to mention that Bracamontes used an AR-15 assault rifle to murder the two police officers, a popular weapon of choice for mass shooters and one that Republicans, Trump included, do not support banning.

(4,533 posts)2. We have the wrong message about crimes by immigrants
Trump was elected by saying immigrants are coming to hurt us and he will save us. Saying this guy came during Bush is irrelevant. We must prove immigrants are not coming to hurt us. Reality is on our sign. In fact illegals are less likely to harm their neighbors than those born here are. In fact we are safer if we live surrounded by immigrants. We have a lot of proof. We need to show people immigrants make us safer, not more at risk.
