Update 3:  Look at the post below and ask yourself one question - WHY is McCain accepting money for his Reform Institute from GEORGE "I hate America" SOROS?  This guy has used his billions to fund left wing and anti-American groups - he hates Republicans as right-wing fascists.

So let me ask: if McCain is running on an "America #1 policy" (which I agree with), why is he taking money from Soros whose stated aim is:

"I'm not looking for a worldwide recession. I'm looking for a significant shift of power and influence away from the US in particular and a shift in favour of the developing world, particularly China."

I put Juan Hernandez in that same class - he wants Mexico ahead of the US.  So why is McCain trucking with these two?

Update 2:  So the campaign says that he's an unpaid volunteer? It's getting worse; Michelle is really on it big time:

Hernandez is a fellow at McCain’s “Reform Institute.” What has he been working on there for the past year?

“Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.”

 The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him $110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain, paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including campaign finance reform.”

Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites.

• OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros.
• David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes.
• The Proteus Fund
• Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion.
• The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes “reproductive justice”

 Soros’s OSI is a key open borders funder–providing support to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; and the American Immigration Law Foundation

Florida voters - read and weep...then get ANGRY!!!

Update: News is spreading fast in the conservative blogosphere - From AnkleBitingPundits:

McCain’s campaign is trying to dodge the issue with this lame explanation:

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers emphasized to WND that Hernandez is “a non-paid volunteer to the campaign, and he does not play a policy role.”

“Juan works with us to reach out to the Hispanic community to meet with the folks in the various states,” Rogers said.

Asked if the McCain campaign has repudiated Hernandez’s “Mexico first” declarations, Rogers did not give a direct answer.

Sell that crap somewhere else guys. 

There’s a saying that goes like this: “Show me who you hang with and I’ll show you what you are”.

If that’s the case then John McCain is in serious trouble.

My guy was Fred - conservative, articulate, painted out all of the stances he had.  So now the question is who would I next support?

My #1 issue is the war on Islamofascism - a 7th century religious/political ideology that wants us all under Shari'a Law.  On this issue, all of the Repubs are good (except for the neo-isolationist Ron Paul). McCain, with me however, has the most credibility. 

My #2 issue is illegal immigration - the singular issue on which I have had heartburn for a while.  Yes, I was irate this past summer when McCain, Graham, and others insulted we conservatives as being bigots (along with other names) acting as we were frickin' rascist idiots.

The blogs and talk radio melted their phone system and handed their heads to them - the bill with it's thinly veiled attempt at amnesty (sorry, a fine, learn English, pay back taxes [what a joke - and HOW were officials supposed to figure that out??] does not fit the crime of illegally passing our borders) and that despicable Z-Visa (yeah, SURE governmental officials can do a complete background check in 24 hours to deny that visa when they cannot even do passports in 6 months for LEGAL CITIZENS).

I thought that things might be better, as in Wolfeboro during the NH Primary runup, McCain said he learned his lesson - "secure the borders first". 

NO FRICKIN' WAY HE DID - NOT WITH THIS NEWS!!!! 

And now, at MichelleMalkin as well as a few other sites, I find out that this two-faced open border retread from the Mexican Government is now going to be McCain's advisor on the border????  His National Director of Hispanic Outreach??  Credibility => now zero.

Dr. Juan Hernandez, McCain Hispanic outreach director: "We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.”

Hernandez was a close advisor to Vicente “Welcome to North America” Fox and headed up a Mexican bureaucracy called the “Presidential Office for Mexicans Abroad.” It was designed to allow Hernandez to travel across the country, meddling with local, state, and federal immigration enforcement on behalf of millions of illegal aliens in America. He lobbied for illegal alien driver’s licenses and Mexico first, defended Mexican bus operators carrying illegal aliens to the USA, and promoted extending banking privileges to illegal aliens.

In an interview on ABC News’s Nightline, Hernandez stated bluntly that he was betting that the Mexican American population in the United States –all generations– “will think Mexico first…”I want ‘em all to think Mexico first.”
