McCain Immigration 'Adviser' Believes in 'Mexico First'
By D. S. Hube | January 26, 2008 - 11:44 ET
One of GOP presidential candidate John McCain's greatest potential weaknesses is his view(s) on immigration. He supported an amnesty program in 2003, and most recently "comprehensive immigration reform" which many (especially on the right) considered just another form of amnesty. Now, in the thick of the primary season, McCain has said he "gets it," and "now understands that we need to secure the border" before any sort of immigration reform is enacted.

But how has John demonstrated that he "gets it"? By hiring open borders advocate Juan Hernandez as one of his advisors! I have watched Hernandez numerous times on pundit shows (like "The O'Reilly Factor") and Juan comes across as a genial fellow. (He has a habit of referring to debate opponents as "my friend.") However, his views on [Mexican] immigration are far from the mainstream, especially so from the conservative point-of-view. As Michelle Malkin and Bryan at Hot Air have shown, for example, Hernandez stated in 2001 that Mexican immigrants (presumably legal and illegal) “will think Mexico first…â€

IF ANYONE HAS CONNECTIONS to LouDobbs or anyone willing to ask mccain or members of his staff on camera if juan is an advisor please do so and let us know

Presumably this is the Hernandez who wrote
The New American Pioneers.
Customer reviews at amazon.com are highly polarized. They range from "A Shameless Piece of Propaganda" to "Founding Father of the New America". The consensus of the reviews is "sly fox in the henhouse - all smiles and sweetness".

There's a 2002 article about him here.

His website is long on rhetoric and short on biographical info.

It would be useful to have additional literate, hostile reviews of his book posted at amazon. Also, someone with the time might start a Wikipedia page on him.
