Thread: How do you feel about McCain's new Advisor?

McCain having dual citizen Juan Hernandez on his staff is a huge conflict of interest between the US and Mexican governments.


Juan Hernandez middle between Fox and Bush

Juan Hernandez claims dual US/Mexican citizenship?
Mexico doesn't have an actual Dual Citizenship Law I can locate. It does have the MEXICAN DUAL NATIONALITY PROGRAM--Passed unanimously by the Mexican Congress March 20, 1998 and is one amendment away from dual citizenship. Ref: http://www.aztlan.net/dualcit.htm

Hernandez was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1955 to an American mother and a Mexican father, Hernández grew up in his father's home state of Guanajuato.

Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative. Dr. Hernandez formerly served as a cabinet member to President Vicente Fox as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad. He is the first American to serve Mexico’s government at this level. He left his cabinet position to create The Organization for Hispanic Advancement, (HispanA, a non-profit 501c3). Dr. Hernández’s recent book, The New American Pioneers, is an authoritative, in depth look at the complex issues related to Mexican immigration.

Dr. Hernandez, a Texas native, is also the founder of the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. In addition, he is a leading figure in the Latino evangelical community and partners frequently with We Care America to address the humanitarian and faith-based issues involved in the debate over immigration reform.

Should Juan Hernandez lose his US citizenship because:
1. He was a Mexican Government Cabinet member. (Did he make policy or take an oath of office?)
2. He evidently became a naturalized citizen of Mexico & Mexican law allows Dual Nationality. How did he get citizenship?

ADVICE ABOUT POSSIBLE LOSS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND DUAL NATIONALITY

The Department of State is responsible for determining the citizenship status of a person located outside the United States or in connection with the application for a U.S. passport while in the United States.

POTENTIALLY EXPATRIATING STATUTES

Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Briefly stated, these acts include:

(1) obtaining naturalization in a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);

(2) taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);

(3) entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (3) INA);

(4) accepting employment with a foreign government if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) a declaration of allegiance is required in accepting the position (Sec. 349 (a) (4) INA);

(5) formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer outside the United States (sec. 349 (a) (5) INA);

(6) formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the U.S. (but only "in time of war") (Sec. 349 (a) (6) INA);

(7) conviction for an act of treason (Sec. 349 (a) (7) INA).

...................

DISPOSITION OF CASES WHEN ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE IS INAPPLICABLE

The premise that a person intends to retain U.S. citizenship is not applicable when the individual:

(1) formally renounces U.S. citizenship before a consular officer;

(2) takes a policy level position in a foreign state;

(3) is convicted of treason; or

(4) performs an act made potentially expatriating by statute accompanied by conduct which is so inconsistent with retention of U.S. citizenship that it compels a conclusion that the individual intended to relinquish U.S. citizenship. (Such cases are very rare.)

Cases in categories 2, 3, and 4 will be developed carefully by U.S. consular officers to ascertain the individual's intent toward U.S. citizenship.

Juan Hernandez reminds me of Hitlers propagandist Goebels, who lied through his rotten teeth.
What kind of fool does this smiling liar take us for? He needs to be stripped of his American citizenship and deported back to the government of Mexico whom he evidently is working for. Wonder how much he gets paid for each illegal that crosses the Mexican border into America. Seems even God cannot save this nation.

I have seen Hernandez on many talk shows pushing his open borders philosophy. I would define him as an over the top lobbyist for Mexico and unrestricted access for Mexicans to the U.S. The fact that McCain would hire him as an adviser regarding immigration is disturbing. and speaks volumes concerning where McCain stands on Immigration. Sadly, we may not have a choice if McCain is the republican candidate.

Juan Hernandez is subversive and Un-American. He's like a legalized Benedict Arnold![/img][/list][/list][/code][/quote]

What is a 'feel good" about law-braking border jumpers kind of person doing in the McCain camp? Dual citizenship is no citizenship at all, it seems. Juan Hernandez just doesn't belong in any country, especially the U.S. with the unbelievable Mary Popins character he displays. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine of illegal immigration go down, according to Hernandez. McCain has lost my vote forever!

Welcome to all the new folks here, there's just too many for me to mention individually - but rest assured, you're appreciated and we're glad to have your interest and support.

So now Juan Hernandez is using McCain's trademark "my friend" moniker? I live in Arizona and McCain is not, and never will be, "my friend." McCain is a sell-out and will say anything or deceive anyone to get the presidency. He absolutely does not represent his constituency in Arizona.

Jaun Hernandez - Is he really a necessary evil? Bush is because somebody voted for him. But this Loon reeks of fascism. His eyes betray Grand Illusions of the U.S. mexican "poopulation" doubling and tripling. And McCain; I question his loyalties My Grandfather had an old saying," You lay down with dogs you get up with fleas". In McCain's case he will get up with no votes. The state of our Nation saddens me immensely. Mainly because the younger generations will never feel the pride I felt as a young girl at a Memorial Day Parade. This kind of Pride will never be felt by the illegal aliens if they are granted amnesty. These people are here to suck the life out of the United States. As for Hernandez; he can crawl back into the Black Hole he fell out of. He should not be given American air time or be allowed anywhere near our Presidential candidates. This guy has been wrapped and unwrapped too many times. WE MUST PRAY FOR A DIVINE iNTERVENTION. The U.S. needs to be flushed of all political vermon.

Juan Hernandez reminds me of a snake oil salesmen.I am offended by his assumptions and he insults my intelligence.

Did anyone else feel they should of had their hip boots on while watching him ?

I think dual citizenship is like having a wife and a mistress at the same time.I don't approve at all.
