Maybe he's replacing it with "Your country's next"?

He probably figures that "country first" could be interpreted as "borders first", which wouldn't really fly in Spanish-speaking circles.

If an image of the Virgin Mary shows up on his Spanish website, then he will have gone too far.

This is good news. We want McCain to go down the nativist rabbit hole, because you can only find more crazy down there. Nothing, not even Jebus, is tearing the Republicans apart faster than fear and hatred of immigrants. There's a large segment of the population that will cheer when he goes balls-out anti-Mexican, but three times that many who will fear and shun HIM.

Did you know that John McCain's first language was actually not English?

Yeah, the guy was born in Panama, and until he was 5 he spoke relatively little English.

Interesting that he's all "gung ho" about English now.

But then, the crazy old guy epitomizes Flip Flop.

Sigh. As a Hispanic, I'm really enjoying being pandered to, but the way the GOP is acting, Hispanics will pretty soon be as solid a demographic as blacks, and we'll be taken for granted. Who will pander to me then?

Oh, wait. I'm Jewish, too.

You're already taken for granted by Senor McCain, he who spoke Spanish before he spoke English, Gitai.
