John McCain's amnesty coalition...Surprise, Surprise

John McCain is building himself quite a coalition of pro-amnesty, open border supporters:

The reality of just how dangerous John McCain winning the nomination and perhaps the Presidency is showing through more and more. Within days of each other, Pro-Amnesty and Open Border advocates the NY Times, Senator Mel Martinez and “journalist” Geraldo Rivera have all come forward and offered endorsements to John McCain.

Add Florida Governor Charlie Crist to that list.

Not forgetting  Dr. Juan Hernandez, McCain's director for Hispanic outreach.  McCain's spokesman told Jerome Corsi that Hernandez is just a non-paid volunteer:

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers emphasized to WND that Hernandez is "a non-paid volunteer to the campaign, and he does not play a policy role."

"Juan works with us to reach out to the Hispanic community to meet with the folks in the various states," Rogers said. 

Asked if the McCain campaign has repudiated Hernandez's "Mexico first" declarations, Rogers did not give a direct answer. 

I wonder what the "indirect" answer was?  Corsi does not say.

There is nothing wrong with reaching out to Hispanic voters.  The problem here is that McCain's non-paid volunteer is, in his own words, for Mexico first:

In an interview on ABC News’s Nightline, Hernandez stated bluntly that he was betting that the Mexican American population in the United States –all generations– “will think Mexico first…”I want ‘em all to think Mexico first.”

And when McCain's campaign was asked about it, his spokesman would not answer.  I think it's fair to say we are in an illegal immigration crisis in this country.  The problem is out of control and we need a solution that puts American interests first.  We will not get that from John McCain. 

The immigrants who are waiting in line, doing it right, are ill-served by our dysfunctional immigration policies.  We reward the law-breakers, effectively flipping off those who would come here legally.  This will continue under a President John McCain, for the law-breakers will get the ultimate reward.  Amnesty.

See http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/border-security-and-immigration-reform/ for at least one solution to this problem offered by a presidential candidate.

I like Paul's "straight talk" position on immigration reform. Just as I agree with him on many other issues. I would like to see him answer Senator Sessions' 15 questions on immigration reform. I hope he does. I hope the other candidates do as well. Somehow illegal immigration has been put on the back-burner in the primaries. Maybe it has to do with the MSM refusing to ask the candidates about it. Jeff Sessions is trying to get it back on the front-burner, it's a major issue and should get more attention.

Amen.

I cannot believe McCain is now the front-runner for the nomination. How quickly we forget.
