Univision anchor Jorge Ramos believes he has found the explanation for the recent drop in illegal border crossings reported by immigration officials: fear or what he calls the Trump effect. In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN Thursday night, Ramos laid out his theory in detail.
Jorge, the massive drop in border apprehensions last month, the customs border protections says 40 percent, its down 40 percent, people trying to cross illegally. What do you make of that? Cooper asked. Is it possible that the tough talk on illegal immigration by Trump is working, that he deserves credit for that drop?
Let me just say that fear is stronger than any wall, Ramos responded. What we are seeing right now is the Trump effect. He continued:
These people calling their relatives and their friends, saying, dont come here, this is not the right moment. So I think it is possible. Really no one wants illegal immigration, not even undocumented immigrants. It is very risky for them. It is better to do it in a legal way.
And the other positive thing is that, I think, many Americans, many people who voted for Donald Trump, they have to understand that theres no invasion. No one is invading the United States. Mexicans arent invading the United States. The undocumented population has remained stable at about 11 million, for the last decade. So those are the positive things.
However, there is a down side, Ramos said. The negative is that this is the Trump effect, he explained. This is created because of the policies of fear and xenophobia and cruelty....

Bueno!
Yahtzee!!!
there are more than 11 million in Los Angeles. That’s why I left years ago. I would drive around and be the only White person for days. I’m not kidding. For several days I wouldn’t see another White person. I’d finally find one and so I’d shake their hand and talk to them like I found Bigfoot
Yes, and a quarter of them are in Corpus Christi cutting lawns on the Island.
Did Sr. Ramos weep uncontrollably as he stated this?
Winning!
Hope it is so.
Is that the sound of WINNING I hear...?
Excellent News!!! IF it is true but socialist/communists lie always.
I wish the army would take this as a foreign invasion and deal with it from that perspective.
Yeh Jorge that’s the plan. LOL!
Three cheers for Trump!
Long live the Trump effect!!!
I thought the "Trump effect" was simply enforcing the law.

And ?
My lawn guy’s first name is Castro, and no, he’s not Norwegian.
He’s just saying this to soothe the fears of all the Whos in Whoville.
Being the Grinch, he doesn’t want them to know that he plans to ransack the place.
Ramos agreed with the assessment, saying, Yes, it is a good thing that we dont have more undocumented immigrants coming to this country. There has to be a legal way to do it. They shouldnt risk it.
