Video: Tancredo's new immigration ad pretty much what you'd expect

What really cinches it is the narrator’s inflection on “raping kids.”

Second verse, same as the first. Instead of focusing on jobs and benefits, he turns the issue into a hamfisted “red scare”-era newsreel about barbarians coming to burn and/or pillage America. Those victims’ photos didn’t come from nowhere; as much as the left may pretend otherwise, gang violence is a component of having open borders. But it’s only a component, and the more he tries to inflate it the more sensationalistic and less convincing it becomes.

Even money says his next ad is about illegals importing exotic diseases.

Update: From Slublog in the comments, “He’s turned immigration reform from a serious campaign issue into what looks like a promo for Dateline NBC.”
