If you’re not familiar with the name, let me introduce you. Dr. Fernandez holds dual citizenship in America and Mexico. Until just this year, he was a member of Vincente Fox’s cabinet in Mexico where he held the position of director of the Office for Mexicans Abroad. There’s only been one director – the entire office was abolished later and recreated as another office with a similar mission. But that cast Hernandez adrift and he seemed to catch on here in the states again well enough.
Hernandez believes that anyone of Mexican ancestry, even one who is an American citizen, is a Mexican and should “think ‘Mexican first’” and that no Mexican living in America should ever assimilate into America to become an American. He is a loud and bullying open borders advocate and now serves as John McCain’s Hispanic Outreach Director.
That would be the John McCain who says he’s seen the light on border security. Think he’s telling the truth? Let’s ask his Hispanic Outreach Director whether he’d work for a politician who intended on securing the borders before offering amnesty. What do you think his answer would be?
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin (Thank you for the link!) has plenty more background on Hernandez and raised the possibility of his holding a cabinet position in a McCain administration, possibly at the Department of Homeland Security.
That would be just peachy, huh? Do read the bit in Michelle’s post about how Hernandez told Congressman Tancredo that he considered the US and Mexico just a “region”. Yikes.

Wow! Everyone needs to e-mail this link to everyone they know. McCain must be stopped before he destroys our country!

Dr. Juan Hernandez is a joke. Who does he think he is? He is surely not a American. McCain will go down for having this racist on his side.
Yes, I do know Juan Hernandez. Juan’s job with Vicente Fox was to get him elected, and, he did a fine job. I was an International Observer during that election with Jimmy Carter and a bunch of others, curious about the coming change.
McCain is trying to get elected and has picked Hernandez for his smarts. Smart he is. And, just because Hernandez has a border agenda, it doesn’t mean that agenda is harmonious with McCain’s. If McCain is interested in the Hispanic vote, Hernandez is the perfect go-to guy. Having assisted in bringing about the most significant change in Mexico in the last hundred years, he’d be the guy I’d hire.
Dr. Hernandez is not a joke. He is the only one who has ever really taken on this issue. He does it with such peace and fairness. I have faith that he’ll find a solution that will work for America.
Dr. Hernandez is a man of integrity, fairness and a love for the United States. Mexican immigrants are the most conservative voting bloc in recent history. Recent Pew studies show they are to the right of most Republicans on values, family, and patriotism. Sadly, closed minded conservatives will push this important voting bloc into the Democratic Party. McCain and Hernandez is our only hope of keeping conservatives in power. Otherwise, we will lose this election and follow California trend into the Democratic column after they passed similar anti-immigrant laws.
