The Romney campaign released a Spanish-language radio ad Monday in which Craig Romney, one of Mitt Romney’s sons, mentions that his grandfather is born in Mexico. “He greatly values that we are a nation of immigrants,” Craig Romney said of Mitt Romney in the ad. “My grandfather George was born in Mexico.”

Here’s the full translation of the ad:

“Hello. I’m Craig Romney. I want to tell you about my father, Mitt Romney. He is a man of great convictions.  He has been married to my mom for more than 40 years. Together they have five sons and 18 grandchildren. My father loves our country greatly. What he has achieved in life, he has done so by working hard. And it is with that same dedication that he will fight to put our country back on track and create jobs. He greatly values that we are a nation of immigrants. My grandfather George was born in Mexico. For my family, the greatness of America is how we all respect each other and help one another. It is the dedication, the sacrifice, and the hard work of those who struggle to achieve that dream for their families.  But on the path our country is on, each day it’s harder to achieve.  My father knows how to revive the American Dream and he needs your help to do it.  I invite you to get to know him and listen to his ideas.”
