The National Republican Congressional Committee released an AI-generated ad targeting House Democrats wanting to build temporary tent shelters to house the influx of immigrants in national parks.
“National Parks overrun with illegal immigrants,” the text reads, using a vintage film overlay, followed by “this is the future extreme House Democrats support.”

“More crime. Less tourism. No beauty,” the final words read, followed by “Democrats’ National Parks.”
The ad displayed AI-generated images of some of the nation’s most known national parks, such as Acadia, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountains, Zion, and the National Mall, covered in tent encampments for immigrants.
“Oldest, largest, and one of our most beautiful vacation lands. Angelo feed peacefully on grassy slopes. Herds of buffalo live in these mountains. A symbol of our vanished frontier. The early pioneers pushed their way laboriously across this country, but it's only in our great national parks that we've preserved unchanged the really wild things and the immense wilderness they knew,” the audio over the ad said.

On Thursday, the House passed a bill to ban the use of public lands for temporary housing for immigrants seeking asylum, with half a dozen Democrats voting alongside Republicans in rejecting the legislation. The bill prevents temporary housing shelters from being built on land under the control of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service.
The bill was introduced as large cities are overcrowded with immigrants, including New York City, where the Biden administration recently gave officials permission to build temporary housing for migrant families at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. Chicago has also struggled to house asylum-seekers, where immigrants are sleeping at O’Hare International Airport and local police stations. Illinois is funding a new government-run tent encampment in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, which has seen a flood of backlash since early construction started last week.
