Haley Bogdon - President Trump's Race-Baiting Ad is Pulled by Facebook

This article was about a campaign commercial that shows a Mexican immigrant who murdered two sheriff's deputies in 2014 and links this to immigrants who are coming here from Central America.  The author stated that Facebook banned this article because it violated their sensational ad rule and was intended to make a statement about all immigrants based on the actions of one.  I do not believe the author agreed with  President Trump's commercial and the article was intended to make people aware and convince them that they should also oppose this type of campaign.  The commercial told people to stop this type of invasion and vote Republican, which again makes it seem as though all Republicans feel negatively toward immigrants.  I think Facebook was right to block this commercial and I do not agree with the statement it was making.  There are better ways to make a point then to generalize about people.  Unfortunately many people saw the ad before it was pulled by Facebook, but I am glad that the company pays attention to this type of advertising and makes sure that what is being published is not biased towards a group of people.
