I have been seeing attack ads aimed at U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams on our local tv stations. I object strenuously to these ads because they are lies.
In one ad, McAdams is criticized for taking part in the impeachment proceedings while ignoring three other crucial areas.
First, the ad claims he refuses to work in securing our border while showing video of Donald Trump’s infamous wall. This is a meaningless attack. Around 40% of illegal immigrants arrive by air. Only about a third of illegal immigrants come through our southern border. Many of these immigrants are not illegal; they are legitimate refugees.
