Open borders advocate Juan Hernandez has joined the McCain campaign


hotair.com
He supported amnesty in 2003 by name, proposed it in 2006 and 2007 without calling it amnesty, and says that anyone who says that he ever supported amnesty is a liar. He has insulted Americans who advocate border security and has cursed at the thought of building a border fence. Which of all of these is the real John McCain? The presence of Juan Hernandez in the background of the McCain campaign tells me that John McCain is as weak on border security now as he ever was.

I too find Mr. McCain's previous positions on illegal immigration extremely troubling.

The news that he has tapped Juan Hernandez for his Hispanic outreach program is, to me, indicative that his private feelings on the issue lean more to those earlier positions rather than his public stance now.

Further proof that Senator McCain is still friendly to the idea of amnesty and/or open borders, as well as other decidedly un-conservative ideas, is his appointment of
Jerry Perenchio as a National Finance Co-Chair of the McCain 2008 campaign.

For those not familiar with Mr. Perenchio, Michelle Malkin has an interesting piece on his efforts in opposition to the hugely popular California "English for the Children" Proposition 227, and his support for semi-radical environmental groups and Planned Parenthood, here.

I have been a registered Republican since I was old enough to vote, and active in the party through most of the major elections. While there have been times when the Republican Presidential Nominee wasn't as conservative as I would like them to be, this is the first time that I actually considered the possibility that the nominee would be a RINO. I'm starting to think that if McCain gets the nomination, that I'll be sitting out the Presidential vote.
