Missouri Gubernatorial Candidate Releases Ad With Spanish Translator Promising to Deport Illegal Immigrants

Missouri gubernatorial candidate Bill Eigel released a campaign ad featuring a Spanish translator telling illegal immigrants that they will be deported if he is elected.

The conservative state senator has distinguished himself in the legislature with his strong positions and alienation of centrists within the body over his uncompromising nature. {snip}

“My latest TV ad is a simple message to illegal immigrants: The party’s over,” he said in a post on X. “Pack your bags. You’re getting the hell outta here.”

In the ad, a Spanish translator flanks his left, paraphrasing what he says.

If elected, Eigel vowed to use a post-Civil War clause to declare an invasion of the state and use law enforcement to round up and deport illegal immigrants.
