President Trump's campaign will air an ad during the Democratic debates this week highlighting the candidates' support for providing health care to immigrants without legal status. Democrats are "putting illegal immigrants before hardworking Americans," says a narrator in the ad, which will air on CNN, MSNBC and Fox during the debates Tuesday and Wednesday. (Hellmann, 7/30)
