Univision anchor Jorge Ramos squared off with Fox News' Sean Hannity Monday night in a debate over President Donald Trump's illegal immigration policy, with Ramos calling the president the "deportation czar."
Ramos, who famously confronted Trump on the campaign trail over his promise to build a wall across the southern border hours after the president took credit for a series of raids that netted 680 undocumented immigrants in six major cities.
"The vast majority of immigrants in this country," Ramos told Hannity, "are not criminals, are not terrorists, and are not rapists ... Immigrants are less likely to be criminals than those born in the United States. Immigrants are less likely to be behind bars than U.S. citizens."
"That's not true," responded Hannity, who later asked Ramos "Should every criminal illegal alien be thrown out of this country? Every one?"
"If they committed a crime, a REAL CRIME, absolutely," said Ramos, who pointed out that FBI statistics showed violent crime in America has dropped 48 percent since 1990, a period in which the number of undocumented immigrants increased threefold.

The host fired back, asing Ramos, "Why should Americans have to pay for the education of citizens of Mexico for their education, their healthcare and if they break laws, sending them to jail? Why do we have to pay trillions of dollars?"
In response, Ramos conceded that "cities and states, they’re spending billions of dollars on immigrants. I agree with that. [But] undocumented immigrants, they pay taxes, they create jobs, they do the jobs that nobody else wants to do."
I watched this interview last night. Was all I could do to keep from screaming at this Ramos dude on my TV.
He was RUDE, evaded answering EVERY question Hannity asked in a direct manner. Then suggested how America is now treating “immigrants” is against the Constitution.
Hannity quickly pointed out the Constitution only protected American citizens and those on the path to LEGAL status. Of course, that was ignored and the rant on Ramos part continued.
He came across as the typical, holier than thou, liberal snowflake.
Yep, President Trump is destroying the crime families one by one.
Yes, that is correct. I believe it’s time for a Constitutional amendment regarding legal status of those born here.
IF ONE of your parents is a LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN...not on the path to it or here illegally...only THEN should you be allowed to be considered an American-born citizen.
Screw this moron and the burro he rode in on.
Yes, agreed. He pulled out a photo of the woman who has been here ILLEGALLY for 22 years and deported (yes, there was already a deportation order on her). Then ranted about how Trump destroyed her family and how her 2 children were born here.
Well, they shouldn’t have been, and shouldn’t be considered legal residents IMO.
If you cannot tell, that intervue got my blood boiling and it’s still simmering this morning. :(
All you need to know.
I would think that most of these families, whose members are being deported for CRIMINAL activity, would be relieved that the family black sheep is finally far removed from their presence.
If they really miss him, they could go back to the home country and join him.
Time and past time that Mexico was taking care of their OWN internal criminal class. Stop exporting them to us.
Whore-Hey Ramos..... Univision and you are frauds and fake news.
Just as proceeds from a robbery do not become the property of the thief, so should border invasion by the parent/s not confer citizenship on their subsequent offspring.
undocumented immigrants, they pay taxes...
The only way they could do that would be if they committed yet the crime of identity theft to illegally use someone else Social Security number.
“Thanks to immigrants, crime is going down in this country.”
That’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard. LOL!
Nicely put!
Good one Tom!!!
“...evaded answering EVERY question Hannity asked in a direct manner.”
That is because he has no possible legal, logical, or legitimate justification to answer with.
This is the narrative being spewed by every local and national Media outlet across this nation.
The “Deep Government,” the Media, and Corporate America are subverting the election, the Presidency, and the Constitution.
God help us.
What percent of the population is he talking about?
Where is the “Oh, that’s racist!” tag?
Can her kids who i understand are now teenagers and her husband which I believe is a citizen go to Mexico and join her? I understood you can’t do that there (like here).
