This bastard is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the corrupt oligarchy down there in Mexico City.
Dual citizen!?! phhht
When I see and hear John McCain, I think of Peter Lorie.
Somebody tell the people in FL and CAlifornia about this.
In most cases Federal law prohibits the states from denying services to them. In most instances it's the Feds that are providing the services.
McCain has an ex member of Vicente Fox’s government working behind the scenes for him? No one will know but we, who read on the internet!
Good post
and snazzy gif there! Thanks.
McCain is not trustworthy. He is, in fact, a selfish, backstabbing weasel.
Message to Congress: The Time Is Now To Lead On Immigration Reform
By Dr. Juan Hernandez
When it comes to immigration, it seems the chaos on the border is exceeded only by the chaos in Washington.
That is especially curious since Members of Congress are usually famous for being able to read which way the political wind is blowing. In this case, however, it appears they would be well served to commit to reading the results of a recent, reputable bi-partisan national survey of voter attitudes on immigration.
What its findings show is not at all startling, and is indeed testimony to the common sense of US Americans.
With solutions to border, immigration, and guest worker issues so logical and obvious, it can only be the handiwork of feuding Washington special interest groups to have befuddled and complicated what is clear and simple.
Most noteworthy for Congress among the findings is that two-thirds of all voters say they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who favors the type of immigration approach identified in the survey!
Here are highlights from the findings of a bi-partisan poll on immigration taken in March by Republican pollster Lance Tarrance, and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, commissioned by the National Immigration Forum.
The survey shows that fully 75% of likely voters favor a proposal with the following components:
P Registration of undocumented workers as temporary guest workers,
P Temporary work visas for seasonal and temporary workers,
P Provides newly registered workers with a multi-ear process for legal
residency and eventual citizenship,
P Provides newly registered workers with no preferential treatment for
citizenship,
P Provides penalties for workers or employees who violate these laws
P Puts a priority on reuniting close family members.
Seems logical and fair enough! Which is undoubtedly why it enjoys the support of 78% of Republicans, 77% of Independents, and 70% of Democrats, and 70% of Hispanics and 78% of whites, alike. Moreover, 69% of likely voters said they would be more likely to support a Congressional candidate who favored a comprehensive approach to reform, rather than the ad-hoc, piecemeal approaches currently working their way through Congress. Enforcement-only strategies miss the point, and the majority of people recognize them for what they are: emotional reactions that do not recognize nor solve the problem. Everyone recognizes that the system is broken and needs to be fixed. But let’s not make the cure worse than the disease.
Most Americans, including myself, have legitimate concerns about the need to keep our borders secure from terrorists. This is no trivial concern in a post-September 11th world in which our intelligence services continue to uncover evidence of terrorist intentions.
Our message to Congress should be this: “Let’s prioritize this issue! Let’s bring together the political leadership of both nations, immigration leaders, Hispanic leaders, and other interested parties to start hammering out the framework of a reform proposal that is comprehensive, bipartisan, fair and worthy of the people of two great nations. Why not create a U.S.-Mexico Congressional Summit in Washington, D.C. that brings some sanity out of the chaos?”
I believe it is time now for Congress to put the issue of immigration on a front burner before the next election cycle causes the issue to become mired in election-year politics.
Fair, pragmatic, bipartisan, comprehensive-yet-fairly-simple solutions are possible. The time is now for Congress to wake-up and lead on immigration reform. Survey results clearly show the American people stand prepared to politically reward those do so.

NIGHTLINE - June 7, 2001
At left, U.S.-born Juan Hernandez, a member of Fox’s cabinet, admits that Mexico sees Mexicans in the United States as Mexicans first and Americans second—if at all.
LISTEN
Juan Hernandez was the first and only director of Mexico’s recently-abolished Presidential Office for Mexicans Abroad. A dual citizen of both the U.S. and Mexico, Hernandez was born in the U.S.A. to a Mexican father and American mother, raised in Mexico and educated in American universities. In 1995, Hernandez founded the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, with which he is still affiliated.
(One of the guest lecturers invited in the Center’s visiting speaker program was noted Mexican writer and reconquista cheerleader Elena Poniatowska, who addressed the center in March of 2002).
In the 1990’s, Hernandez became acquainted with Vicente Fox, then a Mexican governor, and later set up the first meeting between Fox and a certain American governor by the name of George W. Bush.
After Fox was elected Mexican president in 2000, he asked Hernandez to head up the new Office for Mexicans Abroad.
The official goals of Hernandez’ new office, taken from its official government website, were
“To attend to the millions of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who live in the United States as citizens, residents, temporary workers and illegal aliens....
notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’”
Hernandez is a typical “Mexican Gringo”...White elites who want every poor, brown Mexican worker to leave Mexico so they don’t need to share their wealth with them. Scum like these see the United States as their outsourced welfare and unemployment benefits system. They hog all the oil and resource wealth of Mexico for themselves and use the “migrants” like the Saudis use the Palestinians—to take the focus off themselves and invent phony scapegoats out of the U.S.
“Third time this has been posted.”
Don’t you think McCain can stand the scrutiny of the truth? I don’t think he can either. I’m sure he’s pretty smug about being the media candidate. Interesting that this didn’t come out before the last debate. It would have made for a good question.
We’re supposed to be electing the president of the United States, not Mexico. McCain served his country well, it’s too bad he’s turned his back on it on this issue.
McCain won’t even humor us. He continues to rub his amnesty plan right in our faces.
Media loves McCain. Last week he was shown being helped deplane by his wife and then he walked liked Tim Conway in his Old Man skit. If it had been a conservative, it would have been shown constantly. Hillary and McCain get a pass from the media.
Straight Talk? McCain works very hard to tell us he’s a straight talker, but on this issue he’s talking out of both sides of his border===I mean mouth.
.
Snazzy-R-Us!
Hernandez is smarmy. Very condescending. He and Lou Dobbs went a few rounds.
This dual citizenship stuff is just the worst.
So...McCain believes that AMNESTY is acceptable as long as the borders are secured first and that THIS why his bill was rejected. He is sorely mistaken.
Adding open borders/amnesty advocates to his campaign is as telling to me as it was when Fred Thompson teamed up with his open borders/amnesty advocate George P. Bush.
We are going to be fighting the Open Borders/CFRers for years to come.
If the next president is bound to turn the country over to the Mexicans and the Democrats(12-40 million new Democrat citizens) I would rather it be done by a Democrat. The result will be the same if McCain does it of if Mrs. Bill does it.
McCain may be pandering to the Illegal Vote. He won’t get it, though, because it is the Democrats who get those people to the polls and get them voted.
