There are reports out today saying that Dr. Juan Hernandez is John McCain’s “Hispanic Outreach Director.” I have called McCain’s press office to confirm or deny this. But, so far they haven’t answered my question. Here is what we do know. Hernandez is a U.S. born citizen with dual citizenship with Mexico. He served in Former Mexican President Vincente Fox’s cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad. Keep in mind, Hernandez was born in Fort Worth, Texas.

In a 2001 interview with Nightline, Hernandez said “We are betting that the Mexican population in the United States will become more and more like the Jewish communty in the United States and the Puerto Rican community in the United States, that they will think Mexico first. And they will invest in Mexico. They’ve already been doing it to great extent…but now I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think Mexico first. ” Remember, this guy was born in America.

In 2006 on the Fox News Channel, Dr. Juan Hernandez said, “let me remind you the people using false social security numbers are putting in money for you and for me into the social security administration.” So does that make identity theft okay? The bottom line is Hernandez wants more immigrants to come to the United States. On his own website, he writes an article calling for a fix to the broken U.S. immigration system. Hernandez wants temporary guest workers, work visas, a path to citizenship for those who came here illegally, and a reuniting of close family members.

So is this guy working for McCain. Again, no comment yet from the McCain camp. But, here is a photo of Hernandez with McCain advisor Mark McKinnon and McCain’s daughter Meaghan. The photo was taken on December 10, 2007 backstage at the Univision Republican Debate. At the very least, Dr. Hernandez was present inside McCain’s green room at the Spanish language debate. This doesn’t just happen by coincidence.

That is him on the right. Here is a picture from Hernandez’s website. It’s from 1996. And yes that is then Governor of Texas George W. Bush, Hernandez and then Mexican President Vincente Fox.

There is plenty to like about Sen. John McCain. He is an American hero. He has served this country well. He is a leader and proponent on the War in Iraq and he is adamant that government cut spending. But, there is the other side of McCain. The McCain who worked with a very liberal Senator Russ Feingold on legislation to limit political free speech. There is also the McCain who worked with Sen. Ted Kennedy on an immigration reform bill that pretty much amounted to amnesty. Ankarlo asked McCain about the “amnesty bill” in Iowa back in November. McCain responded by saying “I was never for amnesty” and then went on to say most people who ask me questions are better informed. McCain continues to say he hasn’t changed his position on the border, but if he has hired Dr. Juan Hernandez, an amnesty advocate, one has to wonder what McCain really believes.

Listen to Ankarlo ask McCain about amnesty below.

It’s Red V. Blue Thursday and the premiere of the Ankarlo Political Death Match.  It’s a no-holds barred verbal bout to determine supremacy.  Who’s candidate can stand up to the test?  This is a contest that involves you and your love for one of the candidates.  In the first round of Week One Chuck called in for Congressman Ron Paul battled it out with Robert, who supports Senator Fred Thompson.  Thompson came on late, but Paul managed to hold him off winning round one.  In the second round, Paul (the survivor) took on Daniel, representing Senator Hillary Clinton.  Hillary came to play, but Paul defended his round one crown and is one step closer to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  Chuck will come back next week to defend Congressman Ron Paul.  Do you have what it takes to knock him off?  Week Two of the Ankalro Political Death Match will kick off next Thursday, December 6th at 10 a.m.  Mark it on your calendars and make sure you set an appointment to represent your candidate and win an Ankarlo Prize Pack.

 Congratulations Chuck aka Ron Paul.  Who’s next?

  Sorry Fred.   Nice try Hillary.

Where are the rest of you?

Darrell also wonders if calling someone illegal is the same as calling a black person the n-word.  A local activist said it is.  Though there is nothing about the word illegal that signifies race or creed.  If this is the case, is there something else we can call illegal immigrants?  Darrell ponders over the word cheaters.  Others suggest terms like infiltrator, sovereignty terrorist or border jumper.  But, shouldn’t you call a spade a spade?

Non-verbal communications expert, Dr. Barry Goodfield joins Darrell to talk about the body language used during last night’s Republican You Tube debate.  Fritz Wenzel from Zogby International also discusses their latest poll numbers on the Ankarlo Power Poll.  Sen. Clinton is trending downward, while Sen. Obama is gaining.  On the Republican ticket, Gov. Huckabee is making some moves in Iowa while Mayor Giuliani is holding on to a national lead.  Gov. Romney is showing strong support in New Hampshire and in South Carolina while Sen. McCain continues to struggle. 

Meanwhile, someone in the Valley has been spending their time driving their Lamborghini 219 miles per hour while filming it.  Watch it below, but PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT!
