A new ad produced by a Democrat-aligned super PAC seeks to send Latino voters a message: Donald Trump isn’t the only GOP 2016er railing against immigrants.

The ad, released Thursday, features statements made by other Republican candidates – namely former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on “anchor babies” and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on ending birthright citizenship – alongside some of Trump’s controversial anti-immigrant remarks.

Priorities USA, a pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC, will place the ad in television sets in Colorado, Florida and Nevada, states a large Latino electorate, the New York Times reported. The 30-second spot features Spanish subtitles for comments made by Trump, Bush and Walker.

“There are 17 Republicans running for President, With one message for immigrant families …” the ad opens, before playing the clips of the candidates.

“This is the Republican Party,” it concludes.
