The campaign of President Donald Trump released an ad Saturday that warns Democrats they will be complicit in murders of Americans by illegal aliens. While the as does not mention the current government shutdown battle, the timing and the message of the Democrats favoring illegal aliens over Americans makes the connection obvious.

A statement posted at the Trump campaign site explicitly makes the connection:

New York, NY – Hours after Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer led Democrats to shut down the federal government, holding lawful citizens hostage over their demands for amnesty for illegal immigrants, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. released a campaign ad calling out Democrats “who stand in our way” of progress and who are “complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants.” The ad, titled “Complicit,” profiles an illegal immigrant on trial for the murder of two Sacramento police officers who stated his “only regret” is that he “just killed two” and that he wished he “killed more.” It contrasts Democrats, who stand by those who commit acts of “pure evil,” versus President Trump, who was elected to build a wall to stop illegal immigration and keep American families safe. The Trump Campaign released the ad on the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s Inauguration as the 45th President of the United States. The powerful new ad reflects the stakes in the illegal immigration debate, and the reasons why the President will not allow the Schumer Shutdown to force his hand and grant amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Glassner, Executive Director of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. “Yet, one year after President Trump’s Inauguration, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats continue to put the interests of illegal immigrants over those of Americans. Our new campaign ad draws attention to the stark contrast between ‘complicit’ Democrats and the President for his full commitment to build a wall and fix our border to protect Americans from drugs, murder and other atrocities,” he concluded.”

The ad, titled “Complicit”, features the shocking court appearance this past week by an accused illegal alien cop killer, Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamontes, who, laughs, smiles and curses as he states his desire to kill more American police officers.

The text at the YouTube post of the ad reads, “Donald Trump was elected President to build the wall and keep American families safe from evil, illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes against lawful U.S. citizens, Yet, one year after President Trump’s Inauguration, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats continue to put the interests of illegal immigrants over those of Americans. Our new campaign ad draws attention to the stark contrast between ‘complicit’ Democrats and the President for his full commitment to build a wall and fix our border to protect Americans from drugs, murder and other atrocities.”

Trump made the families of Americans murdered by illegal aliens a key part of his campaign. As president, he met with them at the White House in June as he pushed laws targeting illegal immigration.

President Trump was quoted by Time saying:

“You lost the people that you love because our government refused to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and that’s including the existing immigration laws,” Trump told the family members who had joined him in the Cabinet room. “For years the pundits, journalists, politicians in Washington refused to hear your voices, but on Election Day 2016 your voices were heard all across the entire world. No one died in vain, I can tell you that.”

The Sacramento Bee reported on the court appearance by Bracamontes featured in the Trump campaign ad.
