Democratic Congressman Mike McIntyre is hitting his GOP rival for supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants in a new TV ad.

The ad debuts as Americans for Legal Immigration PAC endorsed McIntyre in the 7th District, despite saying earlier this year it wouldn't support a candidate in the race.

"We are happy to return our endorsement to Congressman Mike McIntyre; his opposition to any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants makes him a clear choice over David Rouzer, who supports AgJOBS Amnesty for illegals," said William Gheen, the ALIPAC organizer.

In the TV ad -- airing in Wilmington and soon the Raleigh market, the campaign said -- McIntyre accused illegal immigrants of "stealing our jobs and using our tax dollars for their healthcare." He also attacked Republican David Rouzer of lobbying the federal government for amnesty, an issue that arose in the GOP primary.

The commercial and endorsement serve as another head-shaking moment in this campaign where McIntyre positions himself to the ideological right of his Republican opponent.

Rouzer's campaign spokeswoman Jessica Wood added this: "Congressman McIntyre has had 16 years to tackle our immigration problem, but all he's provided is too much talk and too little action. David Rouzer, on the other hand, has shown he is willing to dive in and solve this problem on behalf of our farms and small businesses and he is proud of his work."

As a Republican, I urge all Republicans to support Democratic Congressman Mike McIntyre for re-election because of his strong stance against illegal immigration, his opposition to amnesty of any form, flavor or version, and his commitment to fight for jobs for American Workers. Fellow Republicans, we are above politics at this point, our country is in overload because of illegal immigration and even excess legal immigration. We must support the individuals committed to end this travesty and the terrible harm it has caused our nation at the personal expense of our fellow citizens. States used to hang horse thieves. Sounds drastic today, but in those days, when you stole a man's horse, you stole their livelihood, their mobility, their freedom, and often left them defenseless and at risk of death.

Today, when you steal a man or woman's job, you've done the same thing, and any politician who supports that thievery is nothing more than a horse thief. So, we need to get the horse thieves out of DC, and be damn sure we don't send any new ones to the US Congress.

Sorry, Rouzer, but your AgJobs Amnesty is just a modern day version of horse thievery, and shame on you.
