Now this Ramos made the TIME Magazine 100 most influential list. The Mexican-American is a committed open borders leftist. His daughter works for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Jorge Ramos also confessed that he still votes in both Mexico and America.
Ive never ceased to be Mexican. I have two passports, and I vote in elections in both countries. Im deeply proud of this privileged duality. The best thing about America is its embrace of diversity.
The worst thing about America, of course, is the racist and xenophobic attitudes that tend to emerge now and then Arizonas anti-immigrant laws, for example. I hope that one day soon Americans will treat all immigrants, including the 11 million undocumented residents already living in the United States, with the same largess that I experienced when I arrived here.

And this is why the Founders and the Authors of the 14th amendment never intended to give citizenship to the children of non-citizens.
People with dual citizenship (and there are many, most of them not from Latin America but from Europe) are loyal citizens of their country of residence but also good citizens of their country of birth or adoption, because countries that are in radical disagreement do not permit dual citizenship. There are many dual Irish-American and other European citizens; actually, many of them can vote in EU elections in other countries.
They probably wouldn’t bother to do so unless they were personally involved in something, and since US voter turnout is lower than low (except among certain groups, such as black Democrats, most of whom are probably dead), I’d say any voting for anything anywhere is probably a step in the right direction.
Many Latin American and other countries fine people for not turning out to vote, btw. Even if you vote “en blanco,” which would be a blank ballot indicating your disgust with either option, you have to vote. We don’t have to vote here, and most people won’t vote.
In NYC, De Blasio was elected by a micro-sliver of the population, because only a slightly larger sliver bothered to vote at all.
Why not protest Mexico's tougher immigration laws by dropping his Mexican citizenship? Big phony...
Of course, to true Conservatives, that is the ultimate nightmare; one washing out the cultural achievements of all the decent peoples of the earth. They would put humanity back with Nimrod at Babel.
Why the F are you here then Jorge? Assimilate or leave you prick.
Rush said it again today this is not immigration anything, this is an invasion.
This clown should be kicked out. He’s nothing but an agitator with no decorum. He was just going for street cred.
How can one serve two masters? Where do the true loyalties lie? This guy has no skin in the game of the Republic and is thus invalid in my eyes. His opinion and comments don’t mean shit to me.
“I vote in elections in both countries”
This is why dual citizenship is a very bad idea.
I’ve heard it described as colonization.
He’s just here to raid the country - we’ve got a lot like that.
And almost every day, I talk to Americans who are too dumb to see what’s happening to the country. Should their job disappear, they will be in for a rude awakening.
They all scoff and joke they’ll walk into a Walmart and be a greeter.
George needs to go back to Mexico.....and stay.
It’s 40 million, George, not 11 million.
Also, they are NOT “immigrants,” they are criminal aliens.
Ramos, you short a$$ should be kicked back across the Mexican border to that craphole you love so much.
DRINK!
It’s okay by US rules too because this doesn’t affect the US. These voters are US citizens, and vote in US elections, but couldn’t vote in their countries of origin until the last few decades. However, with so much out-migration, even countries that do not have dual citizenship agreements with the US realized that they should permit their emigrants to vote in local elections because that could help their country.
Mexico began to allow naturalized US citizens to vote in their elections in the 1980s (under Reagan, IIRC) and this has been helpful to Mexico.
I don’t see any problem. You have a handful of educated, US-exposed Mexicans (or people originating from other countries anywhere in the world) voting in their local elections - since like all immigrants, they still stay in touch with their country of origin, just as my French, English, Swedish, German and Irish ancestors did over the centuries that my family has been here.
Mexicans like Mexico the further they get from it.
I’ll drink, and not because of the thread hijacking attempt.
Hey, why can’t we all vote in Mexican elections?
Where is the fairness?
Deport him immediately. No, I'd like to help pay for his time behind bars.
