Latino state senator asks Chafee to denounce Republican ad. Rhode Island

“A Hispanic Rhode Island lawmaker has asked Sen. Lincoln Chafee to denounce a television ad run by a Republican group supporting his bid for re-election because he said it could engender fear and prejudice against Hispanics.

The ad running on local broadcast and cable television accuses Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey of being weak on national security because he has allowed the city to accept foreign identification cards presented by Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants.”
