Well, that, and the fact that Geraldo likes him.

He was born in the city of Fort Worth, Texas, of a Mexican father and a Texan mother. He completed his undergraduate studies at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin and received his Masters and Ph.D. degrees at Texas Christian University.
Juan Hernandez has dedicated himself to the study of Mexico-U.S. relations for many years. He has been a professor at various universities, creating a Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas.
In 1996, Hernández invited Vicente Fox (then Governor of the Mexican State of Guanajuato) to speak at UT, Dallas and meet George W. Bush (then Governor of Texas) -- a historical meeting that marked a new outlook in Mexico-U.S. relations.
During this Texas trip, Fox asked Dr. Hernandez to help create Guanajuato Trade Offices, in the United States (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas-Fort Worth) and serve as his representative in the US. Soon, Fox invited Hernandez to be his gate-keeper and close confidant in his presidential campaign.
After beating the party that had ruled for over 71 years, President Fox hired Hernandez as the first US-born cabinet member, heading the Presidents Office for Mexicans Abroad. Operating from Los Pinos (the Mexican White House), the Office had as its principal objective to serve and dignify the 24 million whom President Fox has called heroes -- the countrymen who live in foreign lands.
Described as one of the most brilliant men in the world (Fortune 2001), named Humanitarian Man of 2001 by Latin Trade Magazine (2001), and classified as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the U.S. (Hispanic Business Magazine 2001), he is known for his passion for the defense of the rights of immigrants. He has been showcased on Nightline, the Peter Jennings show, and is a regular on Univisión , CNN and Fox News.

Why McCAIN’s Pro-AMNESTY Campaign Advisor is a big freakin’ deal...
kevinmccullough.townhall.com ^ | 01/25/2008 | Kevin McCullough
This amnesty label by kevin mccullough is Bull S#$%.
Get the facts.
Too many people misunderstand or misreport McCain’s current position on the illegal immigration issue.
He has said that he has heard the people and as president will secure the border first.
After which, he will still ram his contorted comprehensive amanesty program down our throats.
He did not listen to the base in the past and he won’t listen to the base in the future.
Juan McCain!
Mccain is an agent of the Mexican government
Among other things here’s what really bites about McCain: It’s obvious that he treats people who disagree with him as if there is something wrong with them. So if you’re not for his border plan, you’re racist...if you’re not for McCain Feingold, you’re a fat cat in the pockets of special interests....if you’re not for McCain Kennedy, you hate children...if you’re against the gang of 14, you’re just a dumb troublemaker who doesn’t want judges appointed.
(Almost) anyone but McCain.
McCain is a sorry pos. It will be a cold day in Hell before I ever vote for him, and according to Mr. global warming, (Algore) that’s not going to happen. ;o)
BUMP
I hope that's right and McAmnesty is dead. I despise Hernandez, he is decidedly NOT "my friend" as he repeatedly refers to everybody he talks to on TV about immigration.
You want blanket amnesty? No borders? You want to coddle terrorists? Vote for McCain.
Electing McCain will destroy what remains of our sovreignty.
I was.... THROWN OUT OF JOHN McCAIN’s OFFICE ...

I remember seeing Hernandez on Fox months ago, and he would always use the words “my friend” when he was being interviewed, and had a s#@t-eating grin on his face. Then weeks later, I heard McCain being interviewed, and he kept uttering “my friend” and I thought that he sounded just like the amnesty lover Hernandez.
Now I know why. Get them in a conversation with each other and they will “my friend” to death each other. They spout “my friend” as much as the Dems say “change”.
