A Florida voter asks McCain about his open-borders outreach director

Dear Michelle,

I attended the townhall meeting earlier today in Polk City and asked John McCain:

Your Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor, Juan Hernandez, has written a book referring to illegal immigrants as “New American Pioneers.” Hernandez has also stated that illegal immigrants who use social security numbers of American citizens really don’t steal, they have no choice but to make up a number. Are you aware of his statements? Do you agree with him? If not would you consider removing him from your staff?

John McCain answered that he supported Juan Hernandez because he holds the same views as he (McCain) on other issues. He says that he determines his positions and Hernandez agrees with him, not the other way around. He appeared to be unaware of the specific positions of Hernandez that I related.

I would say I got a non-answer. I did not get a video but all the media were present.

Juan Hernandez should be stripped of his U.S. citizenship for his position in the Mexican government and obvious loyalty to that nation and not ours.

The fact that none of that disturbs McVain tells you everything you need to know about him.

...Juan Hernandez, has written a book referring to illegal immigrants as “New American Pioneers.”

Gee, I wonder where the concept of "new Americans" started?

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

What you call poisoning of the mind, the rest of the free and rational world calls the truth.

Quit spinning for you candidate unspun.

It is a felony to falsify a SSN. So at minimum they have committed a felony.

Unfortunately it doesn’t. He’s this bad on other issues as well.

It’s a travesty that this guy is even on a republican ballot.

"Straight talk, eh?"

As many have observed throughout history: "Beware the man who feels compelled to constantly point out how very honest he is."

The fact that he’s so blatant about it, considering how almost the entire (legal) nation feels about it, tells me that he’s nuts. At least the others have the savvy to lie or weasel about it. McCain just flat out says “yeah, I’m going to give your country away, what are you gonna do about it?”

Yes it is. The whole slate of sleazy RINOs we're stuck with are a shame.

Well there you have it.

Democracy in action, grassroots style. Gee, if he’s only there to agree with Mc, why have him? I want to believe.
