President Trump's reelection committee recently put out an ad accusing Democrats of being complicit in every illegal immigrant murder case. This ad is now getting backlash from former Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders called the ad sad, outrageous and pure nonsense. He stated that at this time it is important to provide a pathway to citizenship for the recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Sen. Dick Durbin has also come out saying that we need to find a common ground with providing national security while at the same time, "embracing an American value." House Speaker Paul Ryan has stated that the ad was not productive but agreed with the president that Democrats have been complicit.
This article comes from a CNN article that appears to be unbiased. The article is mainly made up of quotes of others without formulating a clear opinion on the matter. The ad Trump released is like what Ryan said; unproductive. He is comparing the DACA children as a select few murderers that have happened to also be illegal immigrants. The crimes that they have committed do not have a direct correlation to their illegal status but I do agree that border security is very important and that we should be careful. However, careful is not being accusatory and divisive as Sanders has stated.
