The famously anti-Trump TV host Jorge Ramos comments on the Republican candidate's 'pivot.'
"If he wants to flip-flop on immigration, I think it is already too late," Ramos said Tuesday.
"The fact is, Trump still wants to deport millions of people," the 'Fusion' host said. "He has insulted Mexican immigrnts and he has questioned a judge's capacity based on his ethnic origin."
"73% of Latinos, according to a Univision poll, think he is a racist," Ramos added.
"No, Trump hasn't changed. And to prove that, take a look at [the campaign's first TV ad]."

".... Some people defend Trump, saying he was only referring to undocumented imigrants. Well, that is not what he said a year ago," Ramos urged. "So let me tell you what I think is happening. People advising Trump have told him correctly that he can not win the White House without the Latino vote. And they are pushing the candidate to talk to Latinos. That explains the meeting with Hispanic advisors. But so far, no, Trump hasn't changed. And no, the majority of Latinos won't vote for him."

He belongs to a racist/ethnicist supremacist organization. He should not be a judge, he shouldn’t even be a member of the bar.
Jorge just needs a few more minutes of attention, poor baby.
There is no flip flop....
He is not going to administer a test and let in 11 million illegal immigrants.
I believe Trump will.....
1) He will build the wall, which no one before him has been able to do. He will. This stops the flooding.
2) He will deport millions of illegals.
3) He may allow a few with special circumstances to get on the list at the end of the line, be vetted and become US citizen the right way. If they don’t agree to our terms then they are sent back regardless. I have no issue with this. There will be circumstances that it is the only humane thing to do. This will be the exception not the rule.
Reagan is responsible for this mess we have today, security never comes after amnesty
Trump’s enemies are in absolute hysterics.
He’s not doing it to get “hispanic” votes, which are irrelevant in this election.
He’s doing it to drive up his share of the white vote, which will be decisive.
That would be true if it actually happened.
I agree with Ramos that it’s too late for him to change as a Trump supporter, but Ramos is a communist activist. When he brings up racism, it’s ridiculous.
All I know for sure is, Trump will be 100 times better in dealing with illegals and immigration in general compared to Hillary. But I do not think deportation squads are going to happen or even practical with our bankrupt US Treasury.
Agreed. But in defense of Reagan the amnesty had no history to learn from in our USA. Now that we have learned how amnesty attracts much bigger number of illegals, I hope amnesty never gets a second helping.
Also, Tip O’Neill and the Rats lied about building a wall, and Reagan believed them.
There is no such thing as a quote, Hispanic race, unquote.It is a strawman invented by so called liberals. That term has been applied to those from individual South American countries some of which have governments hostile to US and actually claim parts of this country as theirs, and others which are friendly. They are composed of various races as we are, with the difference being their primary common language is Spanish.
Besides flooding the labor market with cheap labor which reduces job opportunities for American citizens in a diminishing base. Highly infectious comunicable diseases are also pouring through this uncontrolled border creating serious health problems.
This destructive utopian Mexican open border approach of even considering granting those who enter the US illegally through it. Entitlement to all benefits beyond those of what we give to our citizens destroys the value of an American citizenship. It is being promoted by the name callers mostly in socialist circles such as the democrat party as well some republicans who use such terms as nativist promoting racial division .
What we should be doing is taking a very very hard look at our relationship with Mexico along with trade and its myriad misstreatment of Americans as 3rd class citizens and its claims on American territory . There is no doubt there are hundreds of complaints, if not thousands, from American citizens who have retired there. Along with travelers running to American consulates about conditions that are going unreported because of this Mexican policy
While we are expected to allow Mexican citizens enter to our country illegally and offer them preferential treatment over our citizens allowing them to purchase land in their own name and and even voting privledges which they cannot do if they choose to retire in Mexico.
The leading Republican candidates and that includes Trump may mention some of this but thus far have refused to identify the problem let alone properly redress it by suggesting or implementing reciprocity.
Since the Mexicans are permitting foreigners transit through their country for illegal entry into ours. Any person entering illegally through that open border whether a bona fide citizen of Mexico or not should be treated as if they were a Mexican and tossed back to Mexico and let Mexico deal with them. Illegals should be offered the same rights as Americans. No property ownership and voting rights let alone access to the multitude of costly programs comm9ng out of US taxpayer pockets.
If reciprocity were implemented there would be no need to worry about who will pay for walls or border fences.Illegals would leave on their own accord . And the value of being an American citizen restored.
His daughter works for HIllary, can get him access to the Democrat Presidential candidate.
