Univision anchor Jorge Ramos believes he has found the explanation for the recent drop in illegal border crossings reported by immigration officials: fear or what he calls the “Trump effect.” In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN Thursday night, Ramos laid out his theory in detail.
“Jorge, the massive drop in border apprehensions last month, the customs border protections says 40 percent, it’s down 40 percent, people trying to cross illegally. What do you make of that?” Cooper asked. “Is it possible that the tough talk on illegal immigration by Trump is working, that he deserves credit for that drop?”
“Let me just say that fear is stronger than any wall,” Ramos responded. “What we are seeing right now is the ‘Trump effect.’ ” He continued:

Bueno!
Yahtzee!!!

Yes, and a quarter of them are in Corpus Christi cutting lawns on the Island.
Did Sr. Ramos weep uncontrollably as he stated this?
Winning!
Hope it is so.
Is that the sound of WINNING I hear...?
Excellent News!!! IF it is true but socialist/communists lie always.
I wish the army would take this as a foreign invasion and deal with it from that perspective.
Yeh Jorge that’s the plan. LOL!
Three cheers for Trump!
Long live the Trump effect!!!
I thought the "Trump effect" was simply enforcing the law.

And ?
My lawn guy’s first name is Castro, and no, he’s not Norwegian.
He’s just saying this to soothe the fears of all the Whos in Whoville.
Being the Grinch, he doesn’t want them to know that he plans to ransack the place.
Ramos agreed with the assessment, saying, “Yes, it is a good thing that we don’t have more undocumented immigrants coming to this country. There has to be a legal way to do it. They shouldn’t risk it.”
