2022 AdWatch: on Immigration

Jane Timken: AdWatch: Opposes amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants

Jane Timken is vowing to "be tough on illegal immigration."

"During the pandemic, Ohio's small businesses and families struggled to survive," Ms. Timken says in the ad. "What was Joe Biden's first legislative proposal--a liberal plan to give amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants."

Val Demings: Supports Kate's Law: harsher sentences on deported migrants

Demings, who is running for Florida's Senate seat against Republican incumbent Marco Rubio, touted her experience as a former police officer in the campaign ad before she separates herself from Democrats.

"I learned as a police officer you stand up for what's right, no matter what--that's how you put the bad guys away and keep Florida safe," she said. "In Congress, I did the same. I stood up to those in my party who wanted to defund the police. I was one of a few Democrats who voted to make sure violent criminals go to jail and stay there."

The ad also references Kate's Law, a bill introduced in the House in 2017 that seeks to impose harsher sentences on migrants who are deported and reenter the U.S. and migrants with convictions.
