What’s more, the analysis shows, many ads in which Republicans do mention taxes didn’t focus on the tax legislation they passed in 2017, which provided a steep tax cut for corporations. But only about one-third of GOP ads during the rest of the campaign mentioned taxes. Instead, Republicans ran more ads focused on immigration ― frequently using the term “illegal” and warning of the dangers of sanctuary cities. (Mentions of the gang MS-13 were relatively rare, according to the analysis, appearing in less than 10 percent of GOP ads.) Interestingly, Republicans ran ads focused on immigration across the political map ― not just in the rural areas that dominate President Donald Trump’s political base and have in the past seemed most susceptible to hard-line immigration rhetoric.
