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

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 27, 2008 06:17 PM

Update: Reader Mary Jo e-mails: “Since Juan McCain has appointed Juan Hernandez to the position of Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor, perhaps someone should ask him who he is going to appoint as American Outreach Campaign Director. I guess the average American citizen is not very important to him.”

Shamnesty peddler John McCain; top entry in the McCain-spearheaded Reform Institute’s “Design Your Portion of the Border Fence” art contest; McCain’s open-borders Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez

Reader Joan e-mailed me today. She’s in Valrico, Florida, and confronted John McCain this afternoon about his open-borders outreach director, Juan Hernandez. She didn’t get straight talk:

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.

On national security, energy independence, veterans tratment and curtailing spending, McCain’s position and answers are strong. Why he does not consider millions of lawbreakers a security threat I do not understand…

Joan
Valrico, FL

Bryan Preston obtained audio of the townhall meeting exchange and has the non-straight talk transcript. Update: Video added.

Keep asking: If John McCain supports securing the border, why does he embrace a campaign Hispanic outreach director who doesn’t believe in borders and why does the Soros-funded think tank he helped form, The Reform Institute, hold student art contests demonizing the border fence?

A reminder of the prize winners and some of the top entrants:

And oh, by the way, he’ll sign the shamnesty bill if he’s in the White House. Not that you should have ever doubted that, anyway…

    I used to feel that it was essential to vote for any Republican, in order to keep the Democrats from winning.

    However, the more I learn about the Republican candidates, and the more I contemplate the approaching election, the Republicans begin to resemble more and more the Democrats, to the point where they now appear barely different, and different only, and that’s a perhaps only, in degree;
    they certainly do NOT appear noticeably different in kind.
    The Republicans may be a bit different quantitatively from the Dems; but, they are qualitatively the SAME as the Dems.

    So, if they are going to cave in to Democrats anyway, and try to be Dem “lite”, and thus effectively lead to no significantly different result than the Dems;
    it seems that it just might be a better idea to let the Dems in, and to let them unequivocally bear ALL the responsibility and blame for the dreadful, screwed-up mess you just know they are going to make of things.

    And, in the meantime, since the Republicans are no longer conservatives, but rather “lite” Democrats, it seems perhaps that it’s time:
    for the Republicans to fade away as a factor in politics, sort of the way the Liberals in Britain did in the early part of the 20th century;
    and for the creation of a truly conservative, traditionalist, grown-up, responsible, clear-thinking poltical party to challenge and resist the socialists/leftists, which is, after all, what the “Democrats” actually are.

    The Brits had the term “gone native” for representatives and officials of the Empire who identified more with the colonials among whom they were posted, rather than with their own British countrymen; it seems the vast majority of politicans “go native” after they have spent a certain time in politics – even before they’ve gotten to Washington.

    If the “lite” Dems (Republicans) are voted for, they are essentially being rewarded for their bad behavior…not a good idea, because it will only lead to more bad, and to worse, behavior.

    It’s hard to imagine that McCain (or any other candidate for that matter) thinks he’ll win against an overwhelming majority of Republicans,Independents, and a portion of Dems to win the White House when those number are all chomping at the bits, demanding something meaningful be done about illegal immigration. And, no, I don’t mean a general amnesty (which would in essense reduce the problem to zero). The arrogance is blindingly clear he thinks he’ll get away with it. He and The Huck scare me to death. Isn’t there someone out there, seated on a great white horse, ready to ride in and save the day?

    Have wondered since HA and MM put up the stories of Juan H., how McCain would handle this? Thanks to Joan and MM, we know…. Thanks to both!

How do we in the general population manage to get it on a national election ballot? Dang, we can’t even manage to get the issue of illegal immigration on a ballot, nor even discussed seriously in the debates.

    He may well win the vote in AZ, but it will not be by as huge a majority that conventional wisdom seems to predict. After all, only Republicans get to vote in our primary, so the lib Democrats can’t skew the vote in McCain’t's direction.

    If McCain’t does win the nomination, I also will submit a ballot with either a blank selection or a write in…..no more damn RINIOs!!

    Certainly one of the most depressing aspects of this primary season has been the degree to which open-borders Republicans have done so well, and pro-sovereignty (for lack of a better term) Republicans have done so poorly. So far the voters are sending a message that they don’t care about illegal immigration, and this is red meat and a green light for McCain and his ilk. Of course there are complicating factors in this picture: the fact that the early primaries were not closed, the lameness of the “debates” which didn’t seem to come close to this fundamental issue, and the fact that the voters seemed to be distracted by other concerns, e.g. the economy. Nevertheless, there is a disturbing trend here. If this doesn’t change soon, and the majority of Republican voters remain indifferent, as they appear to be, to the open-borders crisis and/or refuse to educate themselves on it, there is not a whole lot that can be done. McCain may very well be “thinking” that only a few activists care about this anyway, so he is free to go his own way with no cost to himself. Others are likely to draw similar conclusions.

    And of course no one on the Democrat side, certainly not the Messiah, cares in the slightest. This is starting to look very bad.

    gandolphxx: Not only are McCain’s illegal immigration ideas bad, he is bad on free speech (McCain/Fiengold) and the economy. He admits that he has little knowledge of economics. Those with little knowledge of economics are often easily led to seek government and/or socialist solutions to every economic problem. McCain also has no experience in the private sector. His entire substance has come either from a government paycheck or a wealthy spouse. (sort of sounds like another John of recent political history, doesn’t it?)

    McCain’s history of supporting liberal social and economic policies does not indicate that he will slow the creeping socialism of the democrats at all. He may well embrace it, to the detriment of the country and the Republican party.

    Vote for him if you feel you must, but I will not.

    THANK YOU Joan for asking a question the media will not ask old CROOKED TALK.Joan the reason McCain isn’t strong on illegal immigration but rather is a amnesty guy is that is what he believes and although he has tried to craft a new position about border security he has always been and always will be a amnesty guy it’s who he is.

    While all the media was there as you stated I seriously doubt we will here about it.They know many Republican voters are concerned about illegal immigration and since they love McCain they do not want to hurt his chances at least until the general election then the media will bring up illegal immigration often stating Senator McCain you and Senator Clinton or Obama both supported the comprehensive immigration bill didn’t you?They know this will hurt him with Republican voters such as myself who will sit out if McCain is the nominee.

I think these people are trapped by the beltway thinking that only McCain or a Rudy(but Rudy is slowly dying) can beat Hillary. Of course, they are listening to people like Fred Barnes (who is so beltway and out of touch I cannot stand to watch him and his bloviating buddies on Fox), and they are pushing this guy on equally fearful republicans whose fear of Hillary will blind them into ensuring her victory. It is simply incomprehensible to me that people can be that easily lead. I knew the dems were easily lead, but now I am becoming utterly disappointed by the republicans. Maybe we do need a new party.

    George Bush would sign a bill too. George Bush would STILL sign a bill again. But he can’t because Congress can’t put anything together. If you don’t want shamnesty, don’t go at it from the Executive branch. . . Go after it in the Legislative branch. Pray that Clinton is the nominee that brings a family reunion of R’s to the polls on election day.

    But really, Romney had illegal aliens working on his own lawn. I have someone that helps me on my lawn and he does a great job. But I know he’s not an illegal alien. Romney doesn’t care any more about amnesty than any of the other Washington elitist. So fine, you don’t like McCain because his name is on it. . . but he wasn’t the winner, and he won’t be the winner on this issue.

    Roy Beck from NumbersUSA should get in on this. He has an extensive email list of people upset over Amnesty-Shamnesty & the Dream Act. Wait till those people get a load of the McCain – Hernandez connection, funded by none other than Soros.

    I wonder… Did Soros have anything to do with Keating 5, that we may have all missed? George may have had his hooks into McVain since back then in some sort of Faustian bargain.

    Frankly, I think McCain cares more about Mexicans than Americans, he sure spends a lot more time defending them.

    This is the current trend in American politics. Get elected on American votes and then, sell America out to whoever has a petro-dollar or a peso to spare.
    Americans should realize that their politicians are lining up their and their famuly (yes, Bush and Clinton families are far richer, thanks to American voters) riches, while rhe same Amwericans, who voted them in, are looted, raped and murdered.
    It is a sell-out on a national scale. One could even call it a National sell-out.

    If there were any doubts about supporting Sen. (Shamnesty) McCain, the revelation that his National Director of Hispanic Outreach is Dr. Juan Hernandez, disreputable for his open borders stance (Mexican American population in the United States –all generations– “will think Mexico first…” … I want ‘em all to think Mexico first.” and “I work with the community in the United States, the Mexican community because I DON‘T WANT THEM ESSENTIALLY GOING NATIVE ON US. We want THEM CONTINUALLY TIED EMOTIONALLY, LINGUISTICALLY, POLITICALLY TO MEXICO, because then they‘ll continue to send money home.”)should erase any reservation thereof.

    Truth be known, as a Vietnam Vet, McCain lost my respect (and any further support or consideration for higher office) when he “dissed the Swift Boat Vets for Truth in 2004 and condemned them and the book Unfit for Command before it was even published; basically told us Nam Vets to shut up, keep quiet and get over it and furthermore, defended his “good bud,” the traitorous, rat-bastard, SOB, John Kerry.

    Whenever I’ve seen his (Hernandez’s) smarmy, condescending, putrid, pus on TV, I want to vomit and he is one of those who when you see them with that permanently-pasted smirk on this face, it makes one want to slap him up-side-the-head. Yeah, I know, another one of Kerry’s freaked-out, baby-killing, drug-induced, crazed, Vietnam Vet, acting in the ways of (as The Phony Traitor would say) Genjis Khan!

    I can’t believe how wussified and PC-acting Rudi, Mitt and the Huckster are. This revelation (along with a mention of McPain having been endorsed by the N.Y. Times) should be all over the media in Florida as a campaign ad. So much for the Conservative movement and the chances that we will have anyone who (even if they prevail in November) will be anything other than a Bush-Lite, and God help us with the though of 4 more years of a “compassionate-conservative-RINO, serving as our Commander-in-Chief.

    For those of you considering sitting out this election if mcshammestity becomes the gop nominee; consider this:

    a) Is your country not worth fighting for that you would be willing to give up one of your most precious freedoms to vote?

    b) Is not the sacrifice that me and my friends paid for in blood, sweat and death worth the cost of your vote?

    c) Consider this then; if you don’t vote, then please don’t bother to exercise your other constitutional rights such as the First or Second Amendment. Its best to be silent and be thought of as a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.If you didn’t vote, then don’t complain!

    By all means, get out and vote. My choice is between Roomney and Huckabee, and will even consider voting the candiate that most of the conservative bloggers are considering. (hint-Sean Hannity)

    Don’t worry too much gunslingerpatriot as a fellow veteran of 25 years active military service I will exercise the right I risked my life for too, but I will not vote for McCain should he be the nominee. The loudest message this retired and jaded SMSgt can give is “none of the above” as my write in candidate. I am reminded of the old poster we used to have in one of my flying squadrons the “last great act of defiance” with a field mice flipping off the hawk about to snatch him up in his talons.

    Those elected to office no longer listen to or care about the wishes of the majority of this countries concern to enforce the rule of law over the open invasion from not just Mexico. We have plenty of illegal invaders from other 3rd world paradises I have had the misfortune to visit in my world travels and they also need to be shown the door to wait in line. Gives one a greater appreciation for the luxuries and freedoms most people take for granted in this country by seeing what others have to endure in life. If our elected officials don’t get their collective heads out of the butts soon they may very well see the electorate press the reset button provide for in the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights under the 2nd Amendment. Enraged and betrayed voters is one standing militia they do no want to face.

    A vote for a liberal “Hillary-lite” is no vote for me. I will write in somebody before voting for McCain.

    This amnesty crap from him is a travesty, and disqualifies him from being a true conservative. A spineless Republican, yes, but conservative, no. And he has too much company in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, sellouts that will barricade themselves in elite gated communities and let the rest of us fend for ourselves in the current invasion.

    I have to vote, if for no other reason than to vote against Kerry, but my vote for Pres will go to Romney.

    At least he tries to be a conservative.

    Good! GOOD!
    Everyone needs to do this kind of thing! E-mail O’Reilly and Hannity. E-mail and call-in every conservative talk radio show host you can think of. The MSM is pushing McCain down everyone’s throats and this Hernandez revelation needs to be communicated though the loudest branches of conservative media.

    Have another topic you want to e-mail or talk about? Save it for tomorrow. Today is the eve of the Florida primary and today is McCain/Hernandez day.

    Get out the word – while there’s still time!

    Stop McCain!

    the Republicans begin to resemble more and more the Democrats, to the point where they now appear barely different, and different only, and that’s a perhaps only, in degree; they certainly do NOT appear noticeably different in kind. The Republicans may be a bit different quantitatively from the Dems; but, they are qualitatively the SAME as the Dems.

    I’m think it has a lot to do with our two-party system, granite. The Republicans in question feel like they can count on their hardcore conservatives to vote for them regardless, while they shift left to woo the moderates, which many times slaps their conservative base square in the face.

    Correct.

    I just am leery of multiple, splintered parties, and coalition governing.
    My God, look at the ridiculous situation in Italy: nearly as many as, maybe more than, governments as years since WWII.
    This happens in other countries, too; just no time right now to research specifically which ones.
