Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) presidential campaign debuted a new TV ad Tuesday morning depicting white-collar workers invading the U.S.
The ad, titled “Invasion,” is scheduled to air statewide in New Hampshire. The cost of the ad buy was unclear.
In the ad, the senator narrates the bizarre, business-casual invasion, saying the immigration debate would be different if those who entered the country illegally were taking office jobs away from journalists or lawyers.
The one-minute ad closes with the bullet points of Cruz’s immigration plan.
Watch the clip, from the Cruz campaign, below:
For whom is this message intended?
I suppose it’s a matter of perspective. . . but don’t you find this as ridiculous as Carly’s demon sheep?
I thought this video told a much better story… what would happen if white collar employees had to look for work as day laborers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGJq8wrw5II can only imagine he thinks if rich white people had immigrants taking away their jobs… you know, like the unemployed white agricultural workers, back room restaurant staff, or other ‘unskilled’ labor, then his anti-immigration platform would be universally hailed by all.
Ironically, in the locations where H1B visas are in highest demand, they’re also typically the most liberal, so perhaps he’s onto something. More white collar immigration competition would mean rational compassionate immigration policies.
They look like hedge fund and public equity guys…wading across The Pond from K Street on their way to lobby for the SuperPacs in Congress. Right strategy, Cruz. Imagine way off target. These guys work for you.
“In the ad, the senator narrates the bizarre, business-casual invasion, saying the immigration debate would be different if those who entered the country illegally were taking office jobs away from journalists or lawyers.”
Sure…he’s trying to make a populist plea with “hey all you low income and blue collar Murika, this is your issue because they’re terking yer jerrrrbz, but you’re being neglected because you’re poor, while Washington would pay attention if it was the rich who were being supplanted.” I get it…but all it does is highlight that it’s the wealthy white-collar business owners and Wall Street fat cats who control this
countryplutocracy who refuse to allow anything to be done, because they’re perfectly happy to hire cheap illegal labor off the books. The solution to that is not “hate them Messicans more and build a WALL!!!” The answer to that problem is “put some white collar motherfuckers in jail until they learn their lesson.”
