For those of you in the Baylor University area, tonight is your chance to ask Juan Hernandez about his radical, open-borders agenda and his role in the McCain campaign. The event is free and open to the public. Bring your video camera:
Dr. Juan Hernandez, author of The New American Pioneers, will speak at 6 p.m. Thursday in Kayser Auditorium on Mexican immigration. His lecture will be based on his notes, “Why are We Afraid of Mexican Immigrants?”
Hernandez, a member of former Mexican President Vicente Fox’s cabinet, will be the final speaker for The Academy for Leader Development and Civic Engagement’s spring lecture series on leadership in public life. Hernandez has previously served as a speaker in Chapel.
“Participants will gain another perspective on the issues of immigration; hopefully expand the dialog on immigration reform asking the question, ‘Where should we as a nation be in creating reform on this issue?’” said Ramona Curtis, director for Leader Development and Civic Engagement. “When I met Dr. Hernandez last year, I found him to be very passionate about communities working together for the greater good. No matter where you stand on the issues of immigration, this lecture will prove to be engaging.”
Hernandez has a lengthy history of involvement in the Hispanic community. From serving as the first United States-born member of the Mexican cabinet to founding the Organization for Hispanic Advancement in October 2003, Hernandez is a proponent of immigration reform.
“He’s playing a key role nationally by facilitating an important discussion about immigration, and he’s certainly an expert on the topic,” said Dr. Frank Shushok, dean for student learning and engagement. “He has strong opinions about immigration reform that will spur on needed dialogue among students.”
Ask him about this comment: ““We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.”
Ask him about his lobbying for illegal alien driver’s licenses and Mexico first. Ask him about his defense of Mexican bus operators carrying illegal aliens to the USA, and promoted extending banking privileges to illegal aliens.
Ask him about this comment: “I want ‘em all to think Mexico first.”
Ask about his work for the Soros-funded Reform Institute.
Previous Juan hernandez blogging.
Now, what was it she was saying about Juan Ocana?
Geraldo Rivera masquerades as a Latino in an attempt to hide his Jewish heritage of which he is ashamed.
She can put ‘em in a taco, smother ‘em w/ hot sauce, and roll ‘em up..........for all I care.

If you are saying that her parents were illegal, I think you are wrong about that.
That's the way it used to work ~ now the baby gets born and can elect to return and sponsor the baby mommy when he or she is an adult.
You'll find Malkin talks around the problem as though she does not know the status of the immigration laws at the time.
She's also virulently anti Japanese American.
>>Yup, she was born and THEN the family got green cards.<<
What kind of visa did her parents have when she was born? Do you really know?
Parents who have an immigrant visa are already on the path to a green card, so in such a case having children before or after the green card is irrelevant.
>>She’s also virulently anti Japanese American.<<
Source?
So did anyone attend the speech? We need an update.
She's anit-Japanese American Fur Shur. Cannot be trusted on the topic.
BTW, when you get a visa to "emigrate" you get that Green Card before you show up. (that's what they did several decades back). In more recent times the appoval can come later as folks go through what is known as a "formal change in status".
Michelle's birth was the proximate reason for the justification in change of status for her parents.
>>Her own book on the subject of putting Americans of Japanese descent in camps.<<
I see what you mean. I strongly disagree with Malkin on this point. There were some Japanese spies on the west coast in WW2, but then I’m sure we have Russian spies here now, and it would be absolutely wrong to put all descendants of Russians in camps.
Still, anybody that Geraldo hates is probably not all bad. And I don’t know of any evidence that Malkin is anti-Japanese in general.

I am pretty sure that around 1980 green cards were not issued outside the USA. “Several decades back,” as you phrased it, is obviously not precise enough to prove your premise.
What I find hard to believe is that a doctor from the Philippines would have to resort to having an “anchor baby” to get resident status.
Sorge found out about him (for Joe Stalin from Stalin's spies) and next thing you know the guy fled the project.
Michelle Malkin was much more interested in the government's efforts to keep the Japanese descent women and children locked up in horse stalls and so forth. She liked that I gather ~ gave her a buzz when she learned about it!!
Frankly, someone should have interrogated Michelle's parents for 15 or 20 minutes to see how interested they were in assimilation.
BTW, guy wasn’t a “doctor from the Philippines” ~ read carefully ~ he was a student at the time.
Michelle's parents were presumably lawful entrants with a family "student visa". The law at that time, and now, requires that when a baby is born he or she must be added to the family visa.
US citizens are not, of course, required to have a visa to enter or stay in the country.
There's a discontinuity in the law and the fair way to deal with it is to simply return all persons required to be entered on a family visa to their native country to make an application for immigration ~ like everybody else.
Wouldn't bother me a bit to help Michelle board the plane home eh!
In the 1960’s-70’s, the United States recruited a large number of physicians and other health care professionals from the Philippines, with the intent that many of them would stay in the US. You say that her parents came here on a student visa. I don’t know if that is true or not, but US immigration policy has different kinds of work visas. Some of the workers are supposed to be temporary, and some will clearly become permanent residents.
Since we don’t have any proof one way or the other what kind of visa they had, it seems pointless to speculate. I think it’s preposterous to say that a medical student at that time would not have obtained legal status without having a baby here.
BTW, there's still an effort to recruit foreign born medical personnel to this country but it's being interfered with by the folks who'd rather have more Mexicans to mow their lawns.
The visas needed for the doctors and nurses disappeared last year in the remains of that Comprehensive Immigration bill.
Anyway, thanks for the info about Malkin’s position on WWII Japenese-American mass internment. I can understand how FD Roosevelt thought he had to do that at the time, but it’s hard for me to believe that today some people still think that was the right thing to do.
