Why Won’t Juan Hernandez Come to the Phone? – McCain’s Hispanic outreach chief is both loved and loathed.

Tomas — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:29:19 +0000

"The job of Juan Hernandez is to win support for John McCain, particularly Latino votes. So it may seem odd that the campaign doesn't want its national director of Hispanic outreach to get any press. Repeated NEWSWEEK requests to interview Hernandez have been rebuffed or ignored. When a reporter suggested talking to Hernandez at a convention of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, where Hernandez was slated to appear June 28, his name was suddenly removed from the list of scheduled speakers. A NALEO spokesman, Eric Wagner, says someone from the McCain campaign called and asked to replace him, but didn't offer an explanation. (A McCain aide, who refused to be quoted discussing internal campaign strategy, later told NEWSWEEK that the campaign had never signed off on Hernandez as a speaker.)"

McCain Advisor: “Think Mexico First”

Tomas — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:27:36 +0000

""We are betting that the Mexican-American population in the United States... will think Mexico FIRST! ...But now I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think 'Mexico FIRST'," so said Dr. Juan Hernandez on the popular broadcast Nightline, June 7, 2001.

Anyone who has seen the dual-citizened Hernandez in media interviews knows that his rhetoric is offered with forked tongue smoothness. As a former advisor to Mexico's former president Vicente Fox, his credentials for having less than 100% loyalty to America's interests is easy to point out."

Immigration Debate A Test of Our Core Values – Christian

Tomas — Wed, 16 May 2007 16:31:30 +0000

"As Congress prepares to debate comprehensive immigration reform, The Reform Institute and We Care America today urged leaders to devise a balanced approach that secures our borders and recognizes the contributions that immigrants make to our economy and society. "We cannot afford any further delay in fixing our dysfunctional immigration system," said Reform Institute Executive Director Cecilia Martinez. "If Congress cannot agree on legislation by August, the next chance for reform will probably not come for another two years," added Ms. Martinez. "This debate goes to the heart of what America is all about," stated Dr. Juan Hernandez, Reform Institute Senior Fellow and author of The New America Pioneers. "Two fundamental pillars of our society are our dedication to achieving prosperity through hard work and our devotion to the Judeo-Christian values of compassion, mercy and inclusion. Instead of backing away from these core beliefs and fencing ourselves in, we must renew this spirit through a sensible and effective immigration policy that provides a path to permanent legal status for immigrants who strengthen our economy and society." "Americans have never been defined by where they are from, but on where they are headed," added Dr. Hernandez. "Our shared commitment to economic advancement through hard work unites us and has fueled our economic growth. Our inclusiveness has exposed us to new cultures that have enriched us all. We must celebrate and embrace these wonderful qualities that have made this nation so great and so revered throughout the rest of the world." "We need bipartisan, comprehensive legislation now," affirmed Pam Pryor, Vice President of Government Affairs at We Care America. "Comprehensive immigration reform is the only approach that protects our borders and preserves our core values." Dr. Juan Hernandez, Senior Fellow of the Reform Institutes Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative and a leading figure in the Latino evangelical community, is available to comment on immigration policy. His recent book, The New American Pioneers, is an authoritative look at the complex issues related to Mexican immigration. He has been featured on NPR, ABC, CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC. To arrange an interview with Dr. Hernandez, contact Chris Dreibelbis at 703-535-6897 x12 or chris@reforminstitute.org.

The U.S. is a divided nation on the complex matter of immigration issues, said U.S.-Mexico relations expert Juan Hernandez at Samford University Thursday, Oct. 19.

Tomas — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 19:56:56 +0000

"The U.S. is a divided nation on the complex matter of immigration issues, said U.S.-Mexico relations expert Juan Hernandez at Samford University Thursday, Oct. 19. One group, in fear since Sept. 11, 2001, believes anyone they see is the enemy. "The other group says if we become a nation motivated by fear, then the enemy has already won," said Dr. Hernandez, president of the Organization for Hispanic Advancement and a former cabinet member of Mexican president Vicente Fox. A divided U.S. Congress is reflected in one group's creation of a bill that is based on immigrants coming to the U.S. to work if jobs would not be taken from citizens already here, their paying taxes and social security, dealing with English language concerns and paying fines if a law was broken crossing the border. "Research says that up to 67 percent of the U.S. citizens say the plan is okay if these criteria are met," said Hernandez, speaking as this year's J. Roderick Davis lecturer. Although the U.S. Senate approved the plan, the House of Representatives has a much different plan, one that suggests walls, he said. The answer to how there can be two such different bills, said Hernandez, is politics. "The people in the House are up for election. Few in the Senate are," he said. Members of the House think they will get reelected with a plan to close the borders, he said. Hernandez is author of The New American Pioneers: Why Are We Afraid of Mexican Immigrants. As director of the Office for Mexicans Abroad in the Fox cabinet, he served more than 24 million Mexicans living in foreign countries. The son of an American mother and Mexican father, he was the first U.S.-born person to hold a cabinet position in the Mexican government. He noted that many business leaders have sought the Hispanic market, which has 44 million Hispanics spending billions of dollars. "Business is catering to them," he said, adding that more people watched a Univision special on the late Mexican-American singer Selena than watched this year's Super Bowl. "Conservative talk shows would have us believe that all Americans are against immigrants, but polls indicate otherwise," said Hernandez, who holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Mexico. "The idea of a cultural war is not true. We're not trying to take over this nation. We're not wanting to destroy this nation," he said, recalling a sign seen at rally that said, Â´America, marry me.' "That is the spirit. We want this country to marry us," said Hernandez, suggesting that Christians pray and consult the Bible about the situation. He offered three ways to demonstrate concern for immigration-related matters. "Be there. Go where you can participate. Invite immigrants to church. See what their needs are and how you can help them," he said. "Be there to listen and to learn. Not just to teach us what we're doing wrong. "And be there when it counts. Register to vote, call your senators. Be active. Get involved in politics," he said, noting appreciation of voter registration tables outside the lecture hall. A crowd of about 700 Samford students and area Hispanic residents attended the event in Wright Center. While at Samford, Hernandez led a seminar with honors and Latin American studies students. The J. Roderick Davis Lecture series honors the former dean of Samford's Howard College of Arts and Sciences. It brings nationally and internationally known speakers to the campus each fall for lectures and interaction with students and the community."
