McCain Has Learned Nothing From His Immigration Fiasco: Explosive New Revelation
 
After the drubbing McCain took for his vote on the recent Comprehensive Immigration Reform, I was very skeptical when he stated that the had learned his lesson and we need to secure the borders first. I thought his epiphany was tepid and his conversion was motivated by pure expediency.
My skepticism on McCain’s epiphany on border security notwithstanding, I almost keeled over when I learned (thanks to Michelle Malkin) that he has on his staff, the dreadful open borders advocate Mexican Juan Hernandez.
I’ve seen this character numerous times on the Cable news show circuit: he is an oily, sebaceous, “Mexico first” open-borders advocate. I think NRO’s Mark Krikorian sums up the significance and explosive nature of this political faux pas of the McCain campaign:
The contempt for American citizenship that McCain has shown by naming this political bigamist to a post in his campaign isn’t even the whole problem. One might also ask how McCain could even consult with a person of such extreme views, let alone name him Hispanic outreach director. McCain’s support for amnesty and accelerated mass immigration is bad enough, but you can, at least in theory, be for those things and still support firm borders and patriotic assimilation. But McCain’s Hispanic outreach director is a man who has spent years opposing the very legitimacy of America’s borders and Americanization in the most public way possible. The man has been on every TV-news show in creation rejecting as passé the very idea of sovereign borders and patriotic assimilation into the American mainstream. (Digger’s Realm has compiled a greatest-hits video.) Before teaming up with McCain, Hernandez became (he still is) a senior fellow at the Reform Institute, the think tank McCain set up after his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign — Brian Anderson of City Journal described it as “the 2008 McCain-for-President campaign-in-waiting.”
Hernandez has such overt contempt for the sovereignty of the United States, that when I have viewed him last on Cable TV, by his responses, he appeared almost clownish.
I have written about McCains contemptuous views on citizenship and national sovereignty as it related to the Amnesty bill he co-authored here, here, and here. Given McCain’s continued support for illegal immigration, is is any wonder that he is the Republican Party establishment candidate?
Wathch for this gem to consume the arrogant and insufferable John McCain. He has just given Romney an unbelievable gift-horse and if Romney doesn’t use it to great effect, he deserves to lose.
