The National Organization for Marriage-backed “Vota Tus Valores” campaign, which previously launched a bus tour around the state of California urging Latinos to vote for GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, is now up on the airwaves with a Spanish-language ad campaign attacking Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), reports the Center for Public Integrity:
The Spanish-language ad shows images of a wedding and highlights Latin-American values: work, family, and children. Boxer, the announcer says, doesn’t share “nuestros valores”— our values. The ad goes on to say that Boxer “supports abortion and homosexual marriage” and that she “voted against immigration reform to permit our people to come here legally to work.” It closes by praising Boxer’s opponent, Republican candidate Carly Fiorina.
Boxer’s support for abortion and civil marriage rights for same-sex couples is well documented, and it’s not surprising, given NOM’s mission, that the organization is attacking her for it. The senator’s longstanding support for comprehensive immigration reform makes the ad’s second attack appear more questionable — and all the more like a thinly veiled attempt to manipulate the state’s Latino population into voting against her.
The language of the attack could possibly be referencing a temporary guest worker program which Boxer opposed in 2007 on the grounds that it would exploit workers, but it seems like a stretch to turn around and argue that she “voted against immigration reform.”
In response, Boxer’s campaign manager, Rose Kapolczynski, told the Center, “It’s outrageous that a wealthy right-wing outside group is running attack ads lying about Barbara Boxer’s record. The fact is that Barbara Boxer is a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform and has worked closely with the Latino community on everything from job creation to education.”

Nancy Pelosi's, Barabara Boxer culture of corruption
Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi is most probably the worst offender, when it comes to hiring illegal aliens. Are they picking grapes on her plantations in the Napa Valley, California? As a hypocrite she beats even Senator Harry Reid, in his resolve to force through another Amnesty, on behalf of the estimated 12 to 20 million foreign illegal aliens. Then Pelosi resistance in any attempt to enhance border security, in building the–REAL–double fencing and plot with others to table the E-Verify offering. If mandated nationwide E-Verify would have been a inimitable prevention of businesses hiring people who have entered this sovereign nation illegally. Pelosi voted against the Secure Fence Act of 2006 in building a fence along the American-Mexican border, against requiring ID cards for illegal aliens, against electronic data storage of illegal aliens, and for driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.
She is just one of the wealthy landowners who have taken advantage of a steady flow of cheap foreign laborers and a strict defender of offering a path to citizenship; considered Amnesty by a more moderate press. Madam Pelosi along with her husband own several vineyards assessed around $25 million dollars. Her grapes are not considered table grapes, but very expensive inventory of high end wines. Pelosi should join the rest of hypocrites in the long line of Democrats, including Sen. Reid, Sen. Barbara Boxer who if shown a careless positions in introducing laws to contain this propagating issue. Many low income Americans would have jobs, be able to pay taxes and help stabilize this recessive economy. GOOGLE—Pelosi's shameful record on spending taxpayer’s money is well deserved. The information can be found under the (FOIA) Freedom of Information Act at the “Judicial Watch” website regarding corruption in Washington and in State Capitols.
One of the biggest complaints was Speaker Pelosi’s military travel cost using jets of the United States Air Force in the amount of $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including in food banquettes and alcohol. Then we have ultra liberal Barbara Boxer who has used the race card and has the same Motif-Operandi as Sen. Reid. Voting–YES–on funding Sanctuary Cities; Yes on Comprehensive Immigration Reform–Amnesty; Voted–NO–In declaring English official language of government; Voted–YES–on another Guest Worker program, that like the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act was offered Amnesty and in addition voted–YES–on illegal aliens participating in our Social Security, providing Social Services to non citizens. In my view as a Tea Party advocate–ALL these incumbents should be shown the road out of town.

I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier.
