E-mail John McCain. Urge him to fire Juan Hernandez.

Who is Juan Hernandez?

Senator John McCain now says he "gets it" on immigration and border security. He needs to back up his words with action by firing: his presidential campaign's director of Hispanic Outreach, Juan Hernandez.

Hernandez has staked out a series of radical positions on immigration matters which are simply anathema to the vast majority of the American people in his 2006 book, The New American Pioneers: Why Are We Afraid of Mexican Immigrants?

Hernandez called for amnesty for all illegal aliens; an end to the border between the United States and Mexico; a "North American Union" between Mexico, the United States and Canada; and a nine billion dollar gift each and every year from American taxpayers to Mexico to "shrink the wealth gap between Mexico and the U.S."

Hernandez also says in his book that "[t]he undocumented in the U.S. are not the problem. Our small thinking is the problem."

Biography.
