Robocall targets Hagan on immigration

Another robocall targets Kay Hagan on illegal immigration.

Freedom's Watch, a Washington-based conservative advocacy group, is making automated calls to North Carolina voters that say the Democratic Senate candidate is soft on illegal immigration.

"We all know illegal immigration is a serious problem across America, and in North Carolina, we're playing host to as many as 500,000 illegal aliens," a male voice says. "So what does Kay Hagan think about that? She opposes a program to find, track and deport criminal illegal aliens."

The caller then says Hagan has "major concerns" with the 287(g) program, which allows sheriff's deputies to begin deportation proceedings on illegal immigrants, a process normally handled entirely by the federal government.

Hagan has said that she supports enrolling all North Carolina counties in the program, but she has also argued that the federal government should pay for immigration enforcement, not the states.

She's also said it creates a "patchwork" of uneven enforcement, calling it a "Band-Aid solution."

Update: A spokesman for Freedom's Watch said they made a "substantial" number of calls.

He said they were considering a second call on energy issues, especially offshore drilling.

After the jump, the script.

—————

I'm calling from Freedom's Watch with an important immigration message.

We all know illegal immigration is a serious problem across America, and in North Carolina, we're playing host to as many as 500,000 illegal aliens.

So what does Kay Hagan think about that?

She opposes a program to find, track and deport criminal illegal aliens.

That's right, Kay Hagan has major concerns with a program that has helped catch serious felons living here illegally.

Call Kay Hagan at 919-733-5856. Tell her to support the 287(g) program.

Because you want her fighting for North Carolinians, not illegal aliens.
