Univision anchor Jorge Ramos said on Wednesday that he is offended by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rhetoric concerning immigration. Ramos added that he wants an interview with the outspoken billionaire so he can challenge his policy stances over the issue. “This is very important to the Hispanic community,” he told host Chris Cuomo on CNN’s “New Day.” “This is also personal.

“It is extreme what he is saying about immigrants in this country,” added Ramos, who has dual citizenship with both the U.S. and Mexico. “This is not just his country. It is our country, too.”

Is Jorge even here legally?

[Tammy8]

Lots of people have dual citizenship. The U.S. does not recognize dual citizenship but Mexico and many other countries do. When someone says they have dual citizenship that is only valid in their “other” country.

When was the last time Jorge voted in a Mexican election?

Good question.

I hope someone investigates the heck out of this jerk.

[ConservativeInPA]

I just did. Born in Mexico City. Check out the vanity I just posted.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I wonder how Boy Jorge got dual citizenship?

That's easy enough: America allows it.

[ConservativeMind]

I have heard this idiot was an illegal who came to go to college for free.

Oye Jorge carajo!

Listen up pendejo! I’m Hispanic, the very essence of what it means to be HISPANIC (not those indian majadero’s who’s ancestors spoke Nahuatl or some other form of Uto-Aztecan) and it’s important, you could say very important, that we deport these mojados back to wherever they came from if this nation is to survive.

You apparently want Aztlan to become a reality. So NO....America isn’t your country. Entiendes?

[nothingnew]

We need to eliminate the dual citizenship option. Pick your citizenship and disavow allegiance to the other.

One of the best replies I've read this morning. Thanks.

“Jorge is now no longer a journalist, he’s a crank.”

Even worse than that. He is now a crank activist dressed up as a journalist. Does that make him a transjournalist? Is that a new word? Transjournalist. Kinda has an interesting ring to it...

[Will88]

Some ‘anchor’ Jorge is. He’s being interviewed as often as he’s interviewing or anchoring. He’s an open borders, dual-citizen, Latino activist and rabble-rouser.

[Mike Darancette]

I wonder if Jorge is fighting for Asian, African and European Immigrants too.

[zzeeman]

Hey Jorgie, go pound salt, you racialist punk!

[Mike Darancette]

And let’s talk about Mexican immigration policy regarding Guatemalans while you’re at it.....

Mexico sells them the right to travel up to the US border.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

“This is not just his country. It is our country, too.”

Stand up in Mexico and say that to them. I just can't believe such is tolerated in this country. You can NOT say things like that in Mexico and many, many countries of the world.

[Mike Darancette]

The renouncing of one’s previous citizenship is part of the oath that new US citizens must take, and failing to honor that oath could result in the loss of citizenship in the United States.

Hell, Obama wants to eliminate the part of the oath that requires service to the USA when required. Can other change be far behind.

[GilGil]

It is very easy to know how he got dual citizenship. Mexico does not allow its citizens to renounce their citizenship.

I hope Trump does not reward him with an interview. The best thing to do is ignore him publicly.

[Ancesthntr]

Ramos added that he wants an interview with the outspoken billionaire so he can challenge his policy stances over the issue.

This is an activist masquerading as a journalist. He is in favor of illegals, and of massive immigration by Hispanics regardless of the effects on the country. If I were Trump, I wouldn't give the guy the right time of day.

Trump should, OTOH, call him out on this - ask him if he became a citizen so that he couldn't get tossed out while militating for illegal immigrants?

I don't see that happening. Trump ended it on his terms.
