Actually - it confirmed those misgivings and causes us to wonder the damage McCain's "open border" policy would have brought the American people.
For all the progress that the American soldier has made in keeping terror at bay overseas it does us precious little good if middle-eastern terrorists are able with their olive skin tone move to Mexico City for a period of time, learn Spanish with fluent Mexican dialect, adopt Mexican dress, customs, and lifestyle then transgress our border while in the midst of illegal aliens simply looking for a better way of life than what they find south of the border.
Border Patrol agents confirmed to me in private briefings in 2006 that since January 2003 their agents had detained more than 800 persons of middle-eastern origin on the southern border attempting to enter the country illegally. Of those in more than 60 cases, U.S. Authorities had confirmed ties to an array of international terrorist organizations.
September 11th was carried out by one-third as many persons - and THAT was in 2006.
By McCain even allowing the presence of Juan Hernandez within his campaign organization's ranks, he confirms the worst that many had feared. John McCain, the arrogant maverick, who opposed the Bush tax cuts, who restricted our freedom of speech with his anti-first-amendment legislation "McCain-Feingold", who sought to undermine the justices being nominated by President George W. Bush, and who served up arrogance and stiffed-neck hostility towards the American people on one of the most worrisome issues of our times - instead of humility and a desire to ensure border security, is a candidate who does not deserve the support of patriotic Americans.
Dr. Hernandez's presence, advice, and influence on John McCain demonstrates just how out of touch the Senator still is.
Senator McCain has served our nation, in some ways even admirably, and for that we say "Thank You!"
Unfortunately that is simply not enough to be our next President, and American citizens patriots should easily understand why. |
