Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) pushes assimilation by those immigrating to the
United States in the first television ad from a super-PAC supporting his
2016 presidential bid.
"I
am tired of hyphenated Americans," Jindal said in a recent speech
highlighted in the ad from the group, Believe Again. "We're not
Indian-Americans or African-Americans or Asian-Americans. We're all
Americans."
"I
think our immigration system is broken," Jindal said in another clip.
"The folks who want to immigrate to America – they should do so legally,
they should adopt our values, they should learn English and they should
roll up their sleeves and get to work."
The 30-second spot went up Monday in Iowa and is backed by $500,000, according to multiple reports.
The video also includes photos of a young Jindal, whose parents immigrated from India to Baton Rouge, La., where he was born.
Jindal,
who launched a long-shot Republican presidential bid last week, has
spoken often against "hyphenated Americans" and has urged immigrants to
assimilate.
Jindal
polls around 1 percent nationally and in the early voting states of
Iowa and New Hampshire, where he has scheduled events in the days
following his formal campaign announcement.
