A Campaign Commercial for the mid-term elections

OPEN ON -

EXT. ICE FIELD OFFICE - SUNRISE

A mother and a child are standing outside the building

CUT TO -

INT.  AN OFFICE

The mother and child are seated next to each other.  Across from them is an asylum officer.

OFFICER
There are new rules regarding asylum seekers, put into effect by President Trump.  You don't qualify.  We are going to take you into custody for entering the United States illegally.  

He pushes a button on the desk.  Another officer comes in.

OFFICER (CONT'D)
Take the kid and put her on the bus to the detention center.  I'll take the mother to the holding pen.

CUT TO - A VIDEO CLIP OF JOHN KELLY AND WOLF BLITZER 

A label dating the clip as being from March of 2017 displays briefly.

WOLF BLITZER
Are you, Homeland Security, considering a new initiative of separating children from their parents if they try to enter the United States illegally?

JOHN KELLY
Let me start by saying I would do almost anything to deter 

NARRATOR
Do almost anything to deter people from seeking a better life in America.  Using the threat of the separation of children from their parents to try to stop people fleeing tyranny.  Is this the America you want to live in?  Every Republican in the House and Senate had a duty to speak out.  To call for this immoral policy to end.  Evangelicals oppose this.  Theologians oppose this.  Democrats oppose this.

Vote the people behind this horrific act out of office 
in November of this year.
