(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) John McCain is accusing Barack Obama of trying to kill an immigration overhaul that both candidates supported, reports the Los Angeles Times. McCain is running a Spanish-language ad attacking Obama for undermining the immigration bill. He has also criticized the Democrat for supporting amendments “that would have killed the legislation.” But the director of an immigration group calls McCain’s attack “stunning in its misrepresentation.” While both candidates supported the bill in the Senate, it was McCain who backed away from it at one point.

Many observers believe the compromise bill failed because of conservative opposition. Read These Next Her blood isn't compatible with anyone else's.
