Hey, how’s all that Hispandering working out for McCain?

McCain was quick to remind conservatives that former Mexican government employee and open-borders advocate Juan Hernandez wasn’t his employee, but rather an unpaid campaign volunteer.

Well, it looks like the McCain campaign is really getting their money’s worth from him:

Democrat Barack Obama has opened a big lead among Hispanic voters, winning support from the vast majority of those who had voted for rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries, according to a poll released Thursday.

Keep in mind that McCain keeps saying Juan Hernandez is an unpaid campaign volunteer. That's really only partially true and is a smokescreen obscuring how he does get paid. Juan may "technically" be an unpaid campaign volunteer but he is a paid Senior Fellow of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative in McCain’s Reform Institute. This is a behind the scenes organization that McCain had during his previous run for the presidency. He kept the institute in place since he knew he was going to run again and it has been kept viable via cash from large donors. So, really Juan is paid to work for McCain, but from the Reform institute and not directly from McCain's campaign.

Pretty snarky and sleazy, eh?

This man wields some pretty deadly influence for someone who is only an unpaid volunteer (and McCain's credibility burrows itself deeper and deeper into the ground). Malkin has a great quote from Tancredo's observation about Juan:

"TANCREDO: I had a great argument one time with a gentleman by the name of Juan Hernandez who was at that time the minister of that ministry that I just mentioned, the Ministry for Mexicans Living in the United States.

And I asked him that very question. What he told me the purpose of his ministry was to push people into the United States, it was to—by the way, it was also AFC work with them so that they did—he was with the community, he said. He was three days a week in the United States, four in Mexico.

By the way, he himself is a dual citizen born in Texas, university—teaching at the University of Texas and on the Vicente Fox cabinet. And he said, “I work with the community in the United States, the Mexican community because I don‘t want them essentially going native on us. We want them continually tied emotionally, linguistically, politically to Mexico, because then they‘ll continue to send money home.â€

These are very interesting theories I'm seeing discussed here. A lot of food for thought.

Since McCAMNESTY lost the nomination in 2000 he has been moving away from the center he always claimed and to the left. When he choose to “cross the aisleâ€
