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. I’ve never ceased to be Mexican. I have two passports, and I vote in elections in both countries. I’m 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 — Arizona’s anti-immigrant laws, for...

Two minutes into The Donald’s press conference - after an exchange that went something like this: DT: “Sit down” GR: “No”DT: “Sit down”GR: “No”DT: “Throw the bum out” The Donald had Jorge Ramos deported: And, just like in real life, Jorge was allowed to come right back in, where he continued his argument over deportation.Hola! I’m back!The press expressed righteous outrage on behalf of Jorge, a Univision reporter of color. Others suggested that perhaps Jorge, unwilling to wait his turn,was not so much “reporting” as he was “heckling.”So I’ll let you decide: who was out of line, The Donald or...

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush clarified his “anchor babies” comments after being confronted by protestors in Englewood, CO Tuesday morning. -snip- “Look, my record is pretty clear. I’m married to a Mexican-American United States citizen. I’m immersed in the culture. I’m bilingual. I feel like I’m bicultural. I’m proud of the diversity of my own family.”

Jeb Bush came to the Veterans of Foreign Wars post to talk about veterans' affairs but two words hung over the town hall event in a Denver suburb Tuesday: anchor babies. -snip- "When I was 17 years old, I fell in love with Columba Garnica de Bush," he said, referring to his Mexican-born wife. "It's going to be really hard for me to get lectured to by anybody about the politics of immigration."

PHOENIX, Arizona — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio—known here simply as “Sheriff Joe”—loves 2016 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and wants to accompany him on a trip to Mexico that would, in his estimation, either lead to a show of U.S. force in getting that country to come to the table on immigration and trade or expose that Mexico is uninterested in solving such problems. “I want to go to Mexico,” Arpaio told Breitbart News in a wide-ranging, nearly two-hour long interview in his office at the Maricopa County justice complex in downtown Phoenix. “I’ve gotten resistance from the Mexican government,...

Remember when Jeb Bush was on top of the polls? Or Scott Walker? Both have now fallen to the point where they are fighting for table scraps, tied for fourth place in New Hampshire. Bush has 7%, while Trump has 35%. A new national poll is no better for Bush, showing Trump with a 30-point lead (40% to 10%) over Bush. And now Bush is apparently having trouble raising money and, incredibly, paying staffers: A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up...

Jorge Ramos, one of the most influential journalists in the United States, says he had never been thrown out of a press conference before GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump did so last night. "This is the first time," the news anchor told his network. "It's never happened anywhere in the world. I've never been forcibly removed from a press conference or an interview."

Jorge Ramos, host of the Fusion Network show America with Jorge Ramos, disclosed Friday that his daughter Paola has signed up as an employee of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. In a statement posted to Fusion’s website, Ramos expressed pride for his daughter but insisted his family connection would not affect his objectivity as a journalist: As journalists the most important thing we have is our credibility and integrity. We maintain that, in part, through transparency with our audience, our colleagues and our critics. That is why I am disclosing that my daughter, Paola, has accepted a position working with...

Social media is having field day at Donald Trump’s expense after a BuzzFeed News reporter posted a photo of clothing from the business mogul’s signature collection.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will take part in a town hall meeting on Tuesday morning, but he also is expected to be met by a group protesters. Bush is holding the town hall to discuss veterans affairs at the VFW Post in Englewood. But a big demonstration is planned across the street. The protesters are upset that Bush and other Republican presidential candidates have used the term “anchor babies” over the past couple of weeks. Bush has used the term in stops around the country when discussing immigration. It describes the children who are born on U.S. soil to...

What in the world has happened to Jeb Bush? The man with a powerful last name -- who the Republican Party thought could leap into the 2016 nomination with a single bound -- looks more like a puny contender than a political Superman. According to a Rasmussen poll, 57 per cent of Republican voters believe that Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee. A mere two months ago, Trump ranked near the bottom of the 12 declared GOP candidates at the time. He now leads the field of 17 candidates. Jeb’s got the money and political dynasty but he doesn’t...

Given the opportunity to get to the White House, presidential candidate Jeb Bush would fight to grant Dreamers a path to citizenship while working to fix the broken immigration system in America. “I, as President, I would go to congress and change the law to give them not a residency but citizenship,” Bush said in Spanish during a meeting attended by this writer.

Jeb Bush sought to draw contrasts between himself and fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whom at first he avoided addressing by name, on the divisive issue of immigration after he visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday. The former Florida governor said calls to build a big fence along the border are unrealistic and would not solve the problem of illegal immigration. He said that his tour of the border with local officials made clear that “the proposal made by another candidate of building a fence…doesn’t work. You have to have a much deeper strategy.” When a reporter brought up...

Jeb Bush bashed critics of the term “anchor babies” during a trip to the border, where he dismissed the immigration plan of presidential rival Donald Trump. “This is ludicrous for the Clinton campaign and others to suggest that somehow I am using a derogatory term,” Bush said after a roundtable with local officials to talk border security and immigration in McAllen, Texas. “What I’m talking about is the specific case of fraud being committed where there’s organized efforts, frankly it’s more related to Asian people, coming into our country, having children in that organized effort, taking advantage of that noble...

Jeb Bush continued Monday to dismiss criticism for using the term "anchor babies," saying that it is "ludicrous" that he is being accused of using a term that insults immigrants. "Nothing about what I've said should be viewed as derogatory towards immigrants at all," the GOP presidential candidate said after meeting with local officials near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, TX. "This is all how politics plays. And by the way, I think we need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the political correctness that somehow you have to be scolded...

Donald Trump gave the US Marine who was held in Mexico money to help jumpstart his life after months of captivity. I was proud to help Sgt. Tahmooressi and this showed what we can do when we work together …. watch my “Off the Record” comment from last night’s ON THE RECORD and sound off!

Jeb Bush makes a stop near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, Texas, on Monday, just days after Democrats railed the Republican presidential candidate for defending his use of the term "anchor babies" while talking about illegal immigration. Bush -- seeking a reputation as a moderate Republican when it comes to immigration policy -- has hopes to help woo Hispanic voters. But Democrats are pouncing on his use of the term -- which many find offensive -- to paint him as disingenuous. Hillary Clinton joined Democratic groups and some Latinos in condemning his comments last week. "How about 'babies,' 'children,' or...

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush visits deep South Texas today for a private meeting with local officials to discuss border security, the economy and other issues. Bush will also attend a campaign luncheon where contribution levels start at $1,000, while the highest level of $15,000 buys priority seating for two and membership in the so-called Texas Leadership Committee, comprised of generous Texas GOP donors. Before leaving the Rio Grande Valley, the former Florida governor will hold an afternoon news conference. Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who toured Laredo in July, commented Monday morning on “Fox and Friends” that Bush would find...

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush arrived at McAllen-Miller International Airport on Monday for a presidential campaign fundraiser and border security briefing. Bush plans to meet privately with local leaders to discuss border security. He’ll also hold a fundraiser at the McAllen Country Club, where the minimum donation will be $1,000 per person.

McALLEN, TEXAS — As Donald Trump did last month, Jeb Bush will visit the U.S.-Mexico border Monday. As Trump did, Bush will meet with local officials to discuss immigration policy and border security during his one-day trip. That's where the similarities stop. The former Florida governor's trip has been framed as a Trump contrast tour, designed to highlight the sharp differences between his plan and the current Republican front-runner's. Bush previewed the message last week: Bush is the “only candidate in the presidential field who has put forward a serious, conservative, comprehensive set of solutions to fix our broken immigration...
