Today, People For the American Way released a new Spanish-language web ad challenging members of the Republican party at the state and federal level for doing anything possible to block the President’s executive actions on immigration.

“Republicans at all levels of government are doing anything they can to attack policies aimed at keeping families together,” said Randy Borntrager, Political Director of People For the American Way. “We know that as we approach 2016, many Republicans will try to claim that they’re different on immigration. But the actions we’ve seen so far this year paint a much darker – and more accurate – picture of exactly where the Republican Party stands.”
