Tancredo Ad Writers Are Shitty Human Beings

This is Brenda Paz. She was 17 years old when MS-13 brutally murdered her in Virginia for agreeing to testify against the gang in a federal capital murder case. You probably don’t recognize her, which is fine, unless you watched really closely at about second 16 in that repulsive Tancredo ad when they showed this exact picture of her (courtesy of the Shenandoah Police Department) while the scary-voiced narrator says “pushing drugs, raping kids, destroying lives” about illegal immigrants. The fact that they used this picture of Brenda is not only sorta sick, since I know they didn’t have her family’s permission, but also rich with irony because Brenda was probably not a legal immigrant herself.
