Univision Promotes ‘Make America Mexico Again’
NewsBusters ^ | May 22, 2016 | Daniel Garza

Univision’s May 19, 2016 edition of its late-night national news show Edición Nocturna featured a completely favorable story about drug legalization activist Jerónimo Saldaña, the creator and vendor of baseball caps that are stamped with the slogan “Make America Mexico Again.”

Saldaña says he was inspired to start making and selling the hats after first seeing one on the Latino Rebels Facebook page and because, as he puts it, he just flat-out doesn’t like Trump. Surprising nobody, in its report Univision included no critical or opposing views against the hat.

Not only did Univision give Saldaña their platform to promote the hat, they also showed their viewers how to go about purchasing one. They touted that Saldaña has already generated $14,000 off selling the hats and, following the free promotion on Univision, more sales are likely underway.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

JERÓNIMO SALDAÑA, ANTI-TRUMP HAT SALESMAN: I saw a photo of the hat on the website Latino Rebels, and I thought it was really funny, and I wanted a hat because I don’t like Trump.

REPORTER: Meanwhile, Jerónimo says he has been insulted for this initiative.

JERÓNIMO SALDAÑA, ANTI-TRUMP HAT SALESMAN: They have told me that I am racist against white people, that I’m crazy, they tell me I'm a traitor to the United States. Messages really ugly, really racist.

JERÓNIMO SALDAÑA, HAT SALESMAN: For me, I imagine him (Trump) seeing this hat and getting furious, mad about this message.

Saldaña literally says his goal is to make Trump (and by extension, Trump’s supporters) mad. He’s clearly just being a troll and looking for attention. Which is perfectly fine with Univision, because any time they get a chance to one-sidedly bash Trump or Republicans generally during election season, they’ll gladly broadcast it on national television.

I wonder how this guy would feel if someone went to Mexico and started selling hats that said ‘Make Mexico More American.'

Safe to say he probably wouldn’t like it very much, might even use the word ‘racist.’ Actually, I can almost guarantee you he’ll use the word racist. Take that to the bank.

Please continue selling your hats, especially in the USA.

I would like to see someone put together one of those meme posters about this, something along these lines:

Presumably, you [people pushing this “Make America Mexico Again” idiocy] all risked your lives to leave Mexico to get away from the pollution, poverty and crime. And now you all want to make America into the hellhole you left? Once America “becomes Mexico,” where are you going to go then? Do you even have a measurable IQ?

Build the wall, and build more A-10s. Everything will be peachy.

Gives the same feeling as that photo of young hispanic males showing extremely rude gesture and posture. This is daring the society to do something about it, knowing that it is a safe thing to do, (so far!)

As for ‘Making America Mexico Again’, it may have been Spanish but only lightly Mexican. Mexico got its independence in 1821 when a greatly weakened Spain became embroiled in the Napoleonic Wars. It was only 25 years later that the Mexican American War established the majority of the US Mexico border. The land grants and other legal documents for the territories won in that war, were, for the vast majority, SPANISH, not Mexican.

The creator and vendor . . . after first seeing one on the Latino Rebels Facebook page . . . "I saw a photo of the hat on the website"

Creator? Of thief?

Being an employer in California all I can say is cool. Make California equal to Mexico. No $15 minimum wage, no Obamacare, no disability insurance, no unemployment insurance, no overtime, no state mandated diversity and sexual harassment training, no OSHA, and on and on. Man this would be paradise.

Why does my cable bill keep increasing, and I continue to lose all the stations I like to watch. Univision though is the universal constant. You get it no matter what language you speak, or your nationality. It’s there forever. You don’t have to worry about your cable company pulling univision!

To all of those who still believe that the Kenyan’s freeloading illegal alien “refugees”, “immigrants” and “unaccompanied minors” ARE NOT INVADERS, I recommend that you lay off the “medical” marijuana and “recreational” drugs for a few years and maybe even consult with a shrink.
