Meet the open borders family: McCain, Hernandez, Soros, and the “Reform Institute”

By Michelle Malkin • January 25, 2008 03:50 PM

Follow the bouncing ball with me:

Shamnesty peddler John McCain taps former Mexican government official/shamnesty advocate Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director.

Hernandez is a fellow at McCain’s “Reform Institute.” What has he been working on there for the past year?

“Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.”

That is: Shamnesty.

Among the immigration projects at McCain’s Reform Institute: An art contest in which students depicted their protests against a southern border fence.

The winner on the American side of the border?

Here:

The grand prize winner incorporated the specious open-borders propaganda comparing our fence to keep trespassers out to the Berlin Wall designed to wall people in:

Is this what McCain believes in his heart, too? No wonder he cursed the “goddamned fence.”

The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him $110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain, paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including campaign finance reform.” The Reform Institute received $200,000 in donations from Cablevision…and McCain basically tried to intervene on Cablevision’s behalf by writing a letter to the FCC supporting its regulatory agenda. Morrissey noted at the time: “[T]he Reform Institute helps keep McCain’s staff gainfully employed between campaigns, allowing McCain to do less fundraising while retaining the best of the available talent. For instance, Carl Hulse and Ann Kornblut note that Rick Davis managed McCain’s presidential campaign in 2000 before founding Reform Institute. Now its president, he gets over $100,000 a year from RI for “consulting services”. That money allows Davis to remain available for McCain’s future campaigns, and the funding he raises for RI gives him inroads for building support.”

Yep. Which is exactly how it worked out. Davis is now McCain’s campaign manager.

Here’s the 990 form for the Reform Institute, filed in 2003, listing Davis and his “consulting fees:”

Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites. Again, via Ed Morrissey’s research:

* The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes “reproductive justice”, giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty (so do I, FYI). John McCain opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, so why is his chief political advisor getting so much support from those who ostensibly oppose him?

* Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR, an issue on which McCain has an ambivalent record. It also supports euthanasia and assisted suicide through the Death With Dignity National Center, a group which it gave $45,000. It gave $100,000 to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, which opposed the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository (McCain supported it), and opposes development of low-yield nuclear “bunker buster” bombs, which McCain supports.

In fact, EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.

* The Proteus Fund, which also opposed the Yucca Mountain repository, spending $75K to stop it. That pales in comparison to the $935K they spent on supporting gay marriage initiatives, which McCain strongly opposes. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections “faulty” and predicted disaster for the Bush administration’s “program of coercive transformation throughout the region.”

* OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project. (Hint: It isn’t intended on assisting Bush get his nominees confirmed.) They also gave $150,000 to the Campaign Legal Center, which will be important shortly.

* David Geffen Foundation also shows up on the list, although not in the top tier. David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes. They do not have a website I could find, but Activistcash.com notes that in 2002, most of the grants Geffen gave went to environmental activists and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.

Via Discover the Networks, you’ll see that Soros’s OSI is a key open borders funder–providing support to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; and the American Immigration Law Foundation.

Remind me again which party’s presidential nomination John McCain is running for?

***

Fellow shamnesty peddler Mel Martinez officially joins la familia McCain. Via the Orlando Sentinel:

U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez will endorse Republican presidential candidate John McCain later today, according to a person close to McCain’s campaign.

Martinez will announce the endorsement at a meeting of the Latin Builders Association in Miami, which McCain is scheduled to address at 4:45 p.m.

Attention, Florida voters: Ask John McCain.

From the very informative link:

Terrill said there’s no correlation between his bill and Edgar’s death, noting that the child died in July, months before the law took effect (November), and that the law provides an exception for emergency medical care.

“To the extent that these illegal alien parents deprived their own child needed and necessary medical care because of their ignorance of the law, then they should be in prison, frankly,” Terrill said.

Exactly – the parents chose to let their child die rather than obey the law (even though the new law wasn’t in effect yet!). Would we feel sorry for a felon on the loose who chooses to let his child die rather than surrender?

Maria Sanchez, a 22-year-old student who is looking to leave Oklahoma rather than risk waiting the seven years it will take to get her papers. “I can’t work, I can’t study, I can’t go out, there’s no point of me staying here.”

Thank you, Maria, for demonstrating that the law is working. Please tell all your illegal friends. Your legal friends are most welcome, however.

#9, not sure what your comment means, however i can’t feel sorry for someone that is breaking the law and doesn’t have the natural ability to do what is best for their child.

they could always cross the border to arkansas about a 2 hour drive and take the baby there. or drive down to texas, again another two hour drive to take their baby to a hospital there. or better yet, they could have driven back to mexico where they belong in about 10 hours or so to take their baby to the doctor there. yet, they let the baby be sick for 2 weeks, count them that is 14 days x 24 (336)hours. it is their negligence and entitlement thinking that caused the baby’s death.

someone somewhere smells a lawsuit so they want to blame the law rather than the parent’s stupidity and lack of action. thanks to the lawyers! also, someone somewhere thinks this will be a good reason to take down these newly created legislation.

When one is loved by the devil, (well, not really love as we know it), good people should stay away from him.

If this Foundation really is on McCain’s side, that’s enough to tell me to vote against him. I still sure would like someone to vote for, however.

I’ll tell you, I think I am coming to agree that we need Billary back in office to show us just how bad it can get. At least it would guarantee a conservative in 2012, along with a Republican congress.

What a way to launder campaign money!

McCain sets up a “charitable organization” which accepts contributions from all manner of people and organizations. It also warehouses his campaign staff so as to keep the team together between campaigns, so he does not have to pay them out of his campaign coffers.

The organization then pays McCain for speaking and other services (which presumably are OK under McCain Feingold and are not subject to the $2300 personal contribution cap) and probably pays members of his family as well.

In reality, this is no charity – it is a political action committee used to launder money to avoid campaign laws. Pretty incredible when you think about it. And I’d bet that the Reform Institute was inexistence or on the boards when McCain Feingold was passed, i.e., the law worked around this little ruse to make it legal under McCain Feingold.

Straight talk, huh? Man of integrity? I’ve seen some sleazy things in politics, but this tops them all.

And, to think he headed the RNC—I told them I would not renew my membership or give them (or the Florida Republicans) any more money until Martinez is gone and the immigration problem is fixed.

If he isn’t representative of everything that’s bad in Washington, then I don’t know what is. Either he really believes in all the leftist positions he has taken, or he is trying to appear reasonable to moderate liberals in order to siphon away votes from the Democrat candidate. Either way, he is not what America needs…not now…not ever!

Since Mc Can’t is obviously a plant for the socialist antiAmerican crew. We have to support any conservative that may be out there. Either running or if in office (presumably hiding from the RINOs).

This election is so vastly important on the lower levels.There neds to be a call out to gras roots to elect at state , then national level Conservatives. WE HAVE TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE LEFT LOONEY FRINGE.

The law’s fallout also can be seen in the struggling businesses, worker shortages and widespread fear among immigrants who say they are afraid to drive to church or the market because police might pick them up.

I don’t have to open my Labor Economics text to know that “worker shortages” is another term for falling unemployment rates. The article’s author has unintentionally acknowledged that Oklahoma’s tough-on-illegals law is driving down unemployment in the Sooner State.

McCain is just Bush on steroids. Peggy Noonan in her WSJ column today correctly stated that Bush “destroyed the Republican Party.” It’s the open secret we all know, though I think “shattered” would have been a better term, but whatever. McCain would certainly finish the job. At the end of one term there would be nothing left.

The man is a democrat. Time for the rest of us to get over it.

And because someone always protests about his military service — please, get real. Take away McCain’s 5-year POW experience and there is nothing for conservatives. He increasingly comes across as using it as a gimmick to intimidate. Too bad he doesn’t use it when he is kissing up to his liberal buddies.

As a qualification for the presidency, it is meaningless, and as a “Get Out Of Jail” free card, it has lost all value.

TexasTiger, let them bleeding hearts cry up a river. I’d dare say a super-majority here in OK fully support 1804 to shut down the market for illegal labor. I hear now that the legislature is thinking about toughening it with laws that would permit law enforcement to seize property & assets used to facilitate or accommodate illegals.

Fortunately, I’m not alone in thinking that this is over-reaching. I am fundamentally against any seizure of property, merely on the basis of an accusation. We are innocent until proven guilty by court of law, yet, these seizures occur merely on the presumption of guilt.

My take is that the OK gov should just stand back and revisit 1804 after a year for a tune-up. If 70% of the illegals haven’t taken off for greener pastures, then by all means, tighten the screws via penalties & fines.

If he DID have our best interests in mind, he wouldn’t have co-authored McCain-Kennedy or be associated with the likes of Juan Hernandez.

It’s even scarier that Hernandez is not being paid. Who really is paying him, the Mexican government?

BTW I also think all these presidential libraries serve the same purpose: take in huge amounts of cash from Arabs and ideologues and keep the cadres employed between campaigns.

This illustrates that NGOs need to reveal their tax returns. Transparency. Pronto. They are the secret force behind all these candidates.

As Mccainedy is not electable, this is of no consequence:-)
