"YELLOW-DOG" DEMOCRAT SANCHEZ COURTS REPUBLICANS

By Juan Montoya
Not long ago, a few local doctors and well-heeled Republicans got an Email invite to the Jan. 26 reception at the swank Rancho Viejo golf resort from self-described yellow-dog Democrat and wannabe Cameron County Judge Dan Sanchez, also commissioner for Pct. 1.
Will the confab be held to honor Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or perhaps even Hillary Clinton, all stalwart Democrats?
Or perhaps – a la Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio – to recognize Herminia Becerra, the Queen of Politiqueras who doesn't blink an eye in endorsing Democrats, any Democrat?
Well, see for yourself.

Subject: Cornyn Event in Cameron County

Nolan and Julian,

Good evening. I hope this email finds you well and in good health. I am forwarding this invitation for an event that we are having for Senator Cornyn in Cameron County. Please pass it along and invite folks that you think would help us give the Senator a strong Cameron County welcome. Thank you gentlemen for all you do.

Dan Sanchez

Attorney/Mediator/Commissioner

It appears that Dandy Dan is inviting his medical friends to plunk down their Medicaid-earned bucks on none other than the scourge of the Democrats Senator John Cornyn. That's right. The Republican senator Cornyn.
This is the same Cornyn that was said by America's Voice "to have done more to block common sense immigration reform, while pretending he cares, than almost any other politician.That’s why we gave Cornyn 'the Biggest Hypocrite on Immigration Award' in 2011."
In fact, in 2007, as Cornyn pushed hard to make the final language on a bill even harsher that would allow for easier deportation of illegal immigrants, even fellow Republican John McCain grew impatient with his hardline-stance.
McCain told Cornyn, "I think it would expedite things if you would just leave the room, Senator, so we can get along with finishing this up."
Sanchez's darling senator even voted "yes" to declare English as the national language of the Government of the US. Unless specifically provided by statute, no person would have an entitlement to have the Government of the U.S. communicate or provide materials in any language other than English.
Cornyn voted "yes" to build the border wall, "no" to have a guest worker program, and voted against having aliens participate in the Social Security program even though they had contributed to it as long as they worked here.
He's against pro-choice, for a constitutional amendment against flag desecration, and against affirmative action.
He also voted "no" on repealing the tax subsidy for companies which move U.S. jobs offshore.
Dan probably knew the futility of asking the rank-and-file Democrats of Cameron County to chip if a few bucks for Cornyn. Take a gander at the cost of the invite to the bash:
_____ Cornyn Circle Member $5,000 includes 6 tickets to the General Reception and Host Reception (Cornyn Circle memberships can be paid in installments)
_____  Patron $2,500 includes 3 tickets to the General Reception and Host Reception
_____ Host $1,000* includes 1 ticket to the General Reception and Host Reception
_____ Guest $500 includes 1 ticket to the General Reception

Herminia probably couldn't attend even if she could deliver a couple of hundred mail-in votes in the next Cameron County election. I wonder if she knows what Democrat Sanchez is up to? But, hey, what's a couple of bucks among friends, uh?
