ICYMI: New Gallego Ad Models Balanced Approach on Immigration

The Arizona Senate candidate demonstrates how to discuss immigration in a balanced way as enthusiasm among Latinos climbs

28 AUGUST 2024

Washington, D.C. – The Gallego for Senate campaign recently released a new Spanish-language ad targeted at Latino voters that expertly demonstrates how Democrats can champion a popular, balanced approach on immigration. In the ad, Gallego touts both his commitment to border security and paths to citizenship for long-settled immigrants like Dreamers.

“Congressman Ruben Gallego’s latest ad is a great example of how candidates can lean in on immigration with a unifying message that data shows can galvanize key voters, especially Latinos,” said Beatriz Lopez, Deputy Director, Immigration Hub. “Americans don’t want to go back to Trump ripping families apart, but we can’t win on this issue if Democrats aren’t matching the GOP’s enormous investment in anti-immigrant advertising. With this ad, Gallego is demonstrating an understanding that offering a bold, balanced vision on immigration provides the sharpest contrast against Republicans who want to keep families apart.”

Recent polling confirms overwhelming support among battleground voters (66%) for the balanced approach – combining order at the border with paths to citizenship. Among Latinos, support reaches 73%. Voters also reject (58% opposed) the cruel and violent policies put forth by Donald Trump and other GOP extremists.

Gallego ad, translated:  

“As the son of immigrants, I will always provide respect and dignity to immigrants.

I will always defend our Dreamers.

In Congress, I helped to provide hundreds of new border agents and technology for the security of Arizona.

But, to solve the issues of the border, rather than fight, we need the Democrats and Republicans to work together to create real solutions and that is what I will do as your Senator.

I am Ruben Gallego and I approve this message.”
