Spanish-language McCain Ad Attacks Obama on Immigration

The McCain campaign released a Spanish-language ad accusing Obama of being against immigration reform. Like many of McCain's recent ads, this one contains questionable claims which were disputed in articles in the mainstream media, such as this critique that ran in the Miami Herald.

Here is a translation of the ad:

Narrator: Obama and his Congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they?

The press reports that their efforts were 'poison pills' that made immigration reform fail.

The result:

No guest worker program.

No path to citizenship.

No secure borders.

No reform.

Is that being on our side?

Obama and his Congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead.

John McCain: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.
