Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker is releasing new ads, but they're not ads directly urging voters to choose him next year.
Pritzker has bought radio ads, attacking President Trumps's decision to end the DACA program for young undocumented immigrants. The ads aren't just recorded in English.
In the Spanish ads, Pritzker calls the Dreamers part of the Illinois family. Pritzker has sent a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to take action to protect those in the DACA program.
Illinois has the fourth largest number of people in the program. While Governor Rauner is taking heat from some conservative corners for his support of legislation limiting law enforcement activity against illegal immigrants, Pritzker said quote: It’s time Bruce Rauner came out of his cowardly silence and stood up to Donald Trump and for DREAMers.”
