Michelle Malkin on McCain and immigration.
Shamnesty peddler John McCain taps former Mexican government official/shamnesty advocate Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director.
Hernandez is a fellow at McCain’s “Reform Institute.” What has he been working on there for the past year?
“Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.”
That is: Shamnesty.
Among the immigration projects at McCain’s Reform Institute: An art contest in which students depicted their protests against a southern border fence.
The Reform Institute is a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group, as Ed Morrissey received $200,000 in donations
from Cablevision…and McCain basically tried to intervene on
Cablevision’s behalf by writing a letter to the FCC supporting its
regulatory agenda. Morrissey noted at the time: “[T]he Reform Institute
helps keep McCain’s staff gainfully employed between campaigns,
allowing McCain to do less fundraising while retaining the best of the
available talent. For instance, Carl Hulse and Ann Kornblut note that
Rick Davis managed McCain’s presidential campaign in 2000 before
founding Reform Institute. Now its president, he gets over $100,000 a
year from RI for “consulting services”. That money allows Davis to
remain available for McCain’s future campaigns, and the funding he
raises for RI gives him inroads for building support.”
noted two years ago, “that employs Rick Davis, who also works on
McCain’s staff as his chief political advisor, and they pay him
$110,000 per year. The Reform Institute has often supported McCain,
paid for events highlighting him and his agenda, presumably including
campaign finance reform.” The Reform Institute
Yep. Which is exactly how it worked out. Davis is now McCain’s campaign manager.
Here’s the 990 form for the Reform Institute, filed in 2003, listing Davis and his “consulting fees:”
Who funded the Reform Institute, which boasts Juan “Think Mexico
First” Hernandez as its resident amnesty fellow? The donor list is a
who’s who of ultra left-wing, open borders elites.
Via Discover the Networks,
you’ll see that Soros’s OSI is a key open borders funder–providing
support to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the
Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center;
the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; and
the American Immigration Law Foundation.
Remind me again which party’s presidential nomination John McCain is running for?
