"He, McCain, was with us when it was necessary", said Hernández, being referred repeatedly to the leadership of the republican in 2006 to co-sponsor an immigration reform bill next to democrat senator Ted Kennedy. "I know what is in his heart and what feels for Hispanics and immigrants".


Some pastors questioned McCain's representative on his position regarding immigration reform.



"Isn't it true that McCain has backpeddled on this issue?", questioned Alejandro Mandes, director of theHispanic department of the Evangelical Free Church of America.



Hernández said that that was not true, that it is a "lie" of the media.
