Hernandez is an American by birth(he always claimed dual citizenship), he mother was a resident of Fort Worth and his father was a Mexican rancher. They are white and have money. He was close to Fox, and as a professor at UTD, he arranged for Governor Fox's speech at UTD, and arranged the original meeting between Gov Fox and Texas Gov Bush at that time. As president, Fox appointed Hernandez to a created position in which he traveled extensively in the US soliciting affluent Mexican Americans to invest in Mexico. This activity ran afoul of Jorge Castenada, who was the Mexican Secretary of State. Hernandez's job was eliminated and replaced by the local Councils located in many US cities and made up affluent and politically connected Mexican Americans.

Thank you for the background. The political class of Mexico seems to have a whole lot in common with our political class.

There is a lot of mis-understanding and mis-information as to why Mexico promotes dual citizenship and tries to keep close ties with Mexicans in the US.

The reality is that Mexico doesn't perceive the high rates of immigration(legal and illegal) as permanent. That they are not giving these workers to the US, only loaning them.

In time, Mexican economic/political reform will go forward. Mexican economic opportunity will increase. The Mexican birthrate will continue to fall. Eventually, the will be no Mexicans available to immigrate and Mexicans will begin returning to Mexico.

This concept is widely accepted among demographers.
