DES MOINES, Iowa — Ted Cruz's presidential campaign is launching its first major TV ad in New Hampshire, a dramatic commercial that seeks to shore up his border security credentials in a Republican primary race that has been dominated by the issue for months.
Titled "Invasion," the 60-second ad draws on remarks the U.S. senator from Texas made during the fourth GOP debate, when he discussed what he described as the overlooked impact of illegal immigration on American jobs. As Cruz speaks, the ad shows men and women in business clothes frantically running across the border.
"The politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were coming across the Rio Grande ... or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press," Cruz says in the spot. "Then we would see stories about the economic calamity that is befalling our nation."
The ad starts airing across the Granite State on Tuesday, according to Cruz's campaign.
