California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman is out with a new Spanish-language ad, attempting to make a last-minute appeal to the state's Latino voters by telling them that she "stood up against" Arizona's controversial immigration law.

Democrats and many Latino organizations have been critical of Whitman's outreach, especially her statements on SB-1070, Arizona's immigration law.

"Meg Whitman is trying to have it both ways on Arizona's 'papers please' immigration law," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, "but, no matter how many billboards she can afford, the truth is she can't say one thing in English and turn around and say another in Spanish. She said she supported Arizona's decision to pursue SB 1070, and now she is trying to spend her way out of the mess, en Español. Good luck with that."

Sharry was referencing a July statement by Whitman, where she said, "The states have got to be able to decide what is right for their state. So I would let the Arizona law stand for Arizona."

Meg Whitman has so much money that she can run an anti-immigrant campaign in English, and a pro-immigrant rights campaign in Spanish! She can be both Sharron Angle and Loretta Sanchez at the same time!
