Script Of "De que lado estan?" -- Spanish (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Obama y sus aliados en el Congreso dicen estar del lado los inmigrantes. Pero lo estan?

(Text on screen: De Nuestro Lado?)

Reportes de la Prensa han dicho que sus esfuerzos fueron como "capsulas venenosas" que "hicieron fracasar a la reforma de inmigracion."

El resultado: No al programa de trabajadores huesped. Al camino a la ciudadania. A las fronteras seguras. No paso la reforma.

Eso es estar de nuestro lado? Obama y sus aliados en el congreso. Listos para bloquear la reforma de inmigracion, pero no estan listos para gobernar.

JOHN MCCAIN [v/o]: I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.

(Text on screen: Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 And The Republican National Committee.)

Translated Script Of "Which Side Are They On?" -- English (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: 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 [v/o]: I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.
