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, it’s 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, “don’t 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.

Mexicans aren’t invading the United States. The undocumented population has remained stable at about 11 million, for the last decade. So those are the positive things.

That incredible logic by Ramos illustrates why he is commonly referred to as Alberto Einstein in the mexican community.

But, they also refer to anyone of mexican descent who has an IQ over 85 as Alberto Einstein, therefore, it’s a seldom used moniker.

Trump replaced the Welcome Wagon with a paddy wagon and they decided to stay home.

I wish. If I thought that I could “scare them all away”, I’d dress up like that “Michael” cat in those Halloween movies and go stand by the border fence all day.

Steve Bannon high fives the President and says “It’s true, President Trump, the system works!”
This beats the biggest scarecrow ever made.

They aren't "illegal aliens" until they cross the border. Perhaps a better headline would be "'Trump Effect' Is Keeping Mexicans Law-abiding."

Now, once we start seriously deporting the illegals, just watch the self deportations skyrocket.
