McCain’s ties to amnesty troubling
Too many people are forgetting that Sen John McCain joined with “open-borders” Teddy Kennedy and tried to push through the biggest and most damaging amnesty this country has ever seen. I think McCain’s stand against terrorism is great, but his pro-amnesty stance is in a way just as destructive to our nation as a violent terrorist attack.

Consider for a moment McCain’s choice for his Hispanic Outreach Director, Juan Hernandez, a citizen of both Mexico and the U.S. A citizen of Mexico by loyalty and obviously a citizen of the U.S. for political convenience.

Hernandez has long been an advocate of amnesty and a critic of United States national soverignty. Also consider that Mexico’s former president, Vicente Fox, named Hernandez to head Fox’s cabinet-level “Presidential Office for Mexicans Abroad,” thus literally appointing Hernandez to be Fox’s “Hispanic Outreach Director”.

Hernandez evidently serves in the same position for the current president of Mexico. McCain certainly knows the record of Hernandez, but obviously McCain’s agenda is identical in that our national borders would be made irrelevant.

Although I have problems with all Republican candidates, I find McCain’s candidacy to be especially troubling. So it will be a cold day in Tijuana before I will ever vote for McCain.
