Who is Juan Hernandez?



WND for complete article
The Hispanic outreach director for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign is a dual American-Mexican citizen known for his “Mexico first” declarations to immigrants in the U.S..
…Juan Hernandez’s position in the campaign belies the Republican candidate’s attempt to position himself as an advocate of border security.
“Juan works with us to reach out to the Hispanic community to meet with the folks in the various states,” Rogers said.
Asked if the McCain campaign has repudiated Hernandez’s “Mexico first” declarations, Rogers did not give a direct answer.
In an appearance on ABC’s Nightline in 2001, Hernandez said, referring to Mexican immigrants in the U.S., “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.'”
Hernandez told the Associated Press the same year, “I never knew the border as a limitation. I’d be delighted if all of us could come and go between these two marvelous countries.”
Last August, Hernandez published a book entitled “The New American Pioneers: Why Are We Afraid of Mexican Immigrants?” in which he argued Mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal, were at the forefront of establishing a new North American market combining the U.S. with Mexico.
Mark Krikorian, director for the Center for Immigration Studies:

“Has McCain offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place on a future McCain Administration? That’s not a rhetorical question.”

While McCain is now emphasizing border security, the policy posted on his website repeats many of the “flexible labor market” arguments advanced in the Kennedy-McCain comprehensive immigration reform bills, arguing for the necessity of a guest-worker program.
No fence
Hernandez has appeared on various cable news talk shows aggressively arguing against building any fence on the Mexican border, insisting the frontier need to remain wide open so illegal immigrants can easily cross into the U.S.
Hernandez was the first U.S.-born cabinet member to serve President Vicente Fox, operating from Los Pinos, the Mexican White House. Hernandez represented the 24 million Mexicans living abroad whom Fox then called “heroes” for representing Mexico in the foreign nations in which they lived.
In 1996, Hernandez was responsible for inviting Fox, then governor of the Mexican state of Guanajuanto, to speak at the University of Texas, Dallas, where he met George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, for the first time.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
The Republicans are committing suicide if McCain wins the nomination. I see no distinction between Clinton, Obama or McCain. Is John McCain campaigning to become the 44th President of the United States, or is he really running to become the 1st President of the North American Union?
Hernandez website
The two biggest at illegal pandering, US citizen destroying, are McCain or Huckabee.
Wtih McCain or Huckabee, we will need big wallet, for taking care of Mexican and South American citizens.
McCain and Huck are the same, but for professed different reasons. McCain, is an establishment bought and paid for elite, likes cheap human capital. Huck is a Christian Democrat who will rob your wallet by imposing state charity to take care of the poor illegals he will provide to the elites.
Hernandez is smarmy. Very condescending. He and Lou Dobbs went a few rounds. This dual citizenship stuff is just the worst.

….Thank you so much Mark for this article.

It’s more or less predictable that McCain would cozy up to a Mexican nationalist. Personality is destiny. McCain’s egomania needs to be fed; if he was a southern politician in 1850, he’d be on the side of the agrarians and Cavaliers because that’s where the adulation and hat plumes would be. He wouldn’t be an abolitionist. That’s too radical and risky. No gain.
I think McCain has always lived in a fantasy world about himself. On the positive side, it helped him escape the realities of Hanoi, on the negative side, he’s vainglorious and arrogant too, which allows him to escape other realities which are inconvenient and mundane.
Napolean comes to mind.

Les says:

It is an insult to one’s intelligence for John McCain to repeatedly deny that he supports amnesty for illegal aliens. This story and all of McCains actions speak louder than his words.
Ronald Reagan signed an Immigration Bill that with good intentions granted amnesty and had provisions to deal will illegal aliens including employer penalties. These provisions were never followed or enforced and as a result were a total failure in dealing with the problem.
Ronald Reagan was honest about amnesty while John McCain continues to lie about it. No wonder McCain is so cozy with Hillary Clinton. Birds of a feather flock together. Yes, if either one of these two ever becomes President it will be the last nail in our national suicide coffin.

Jack says:

You have it nailed WT, McCain. The 1st President of the North American Union.
Bush tried.

Juan is a Clinton-type Hispansmoothie that believes in borderless US borders… but not El Mexicos! He’s a charmer and a latino Clinton type. With Latinos as the #1 minority now and blacks second, watch Hitlary campaign to acquire the Latino votes… This will be one ruthless and bloody election – wait and see!

Wild Thing says:

Rhod, yes Napolean does come to mind. You described him well. Because of the things that happened to him it is sad, but for all the rest of it, well it is nothing less then infuriating to say the least. What he did to the POW’s and their families is just something I cannot forgive him for. Oh how I wish things were different with these people running for the highest office in our land.

Wild Thing says:

Les I agree, Reagan did Amnesty and then afterward said he had made a mistake. I can’t see a person like McCain ever saying he made a mistake about anything.

Wild Thing says:

Jack yes Bush sure did try. augh. Thank you Jack.

Wild Thing says:

Darth you so right, both parties will be just as you said, ruthless and bloody.
