New McCain Ad: "God's Children"

John McCain's campaign has released a new minute-long television spot aimed in part at Hispanic voters that will run in three swing states with heavy Hispanic populations – Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.

The spot, "God's Children," excerpts comments McCain made at a June 2007 Republican debate in New Hampshire. It focuses on the military service of Hispanics, some of whom have not become U.S. citizens.

"My friends, I want you the next time you're down in Washington, D.C., to go to the Vietnam War Memorial and look at the names engraved in black granite," McCain says. "You'll find a whole lot of Hispanic names."

"When you go to Iraq or Afghanistan today, you're going to see a whole lot of people who are of Hispanic background," he continues. "You're even going to meet some of the few thousand that are still green card holders who are not even citizens of this country, who love this country so much that they're willing to risk their lives in its service in order to accelerate their path to citizenship and enjoy the bountiful, blessed nation."

"So let's from time to time remember that these are God's children," McCain adds. "They must come into country legally, but they have enriched our culture and our nation as every generation of immigrants before them."
