“By having lots of nationalities in there, we’re trying to take
ethnicity off the table,” said Roy Beck, the founder of
NumbersUSA. “We chose our name because we knew that too many
people on both sides of the issue got sidetracked on who
immigrants are.”
Beck said that’s what has scared politicians off in the past from
addressing the country’s immigration levels, adding that the timing
of the ad was intended to encourage the GOP candidates to focus more
on jobs than they have in previous debates.
