Univision Asks for Refund for Donation to Anti-Immigrant Senator

Univision.jpgLast week I told you about a $1,000 donation that Spanish language television network Univision made to the campaign of an anti-immigrant congressman. Now the same network asked for a refund for another $1,000 it donated to the campaign of another anti-immigrant legislator, this time a Senator.

The Univision Communication Inc Political Action Committee made a $1,000 contribution to the campaign of Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) on February 27. Wicker is a prominent foe of unauthorized immigration, a former member of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and founding member of the Senate Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus. The Univision PAC then requested a refund of the contribution.

Seems that the network can’t decide where it’s loyalties lie, with the Latino immigrant community that keeps them afloat or the Republican lawmakers who want to send a large part of the network’s viewing audience, back where they came from.
