Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, known for his advocacy of illegal aliens, is accusing Republicans of wanting to “change the essence of America” and seriously wondered whether the GOP wants to “make America white again.”
In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN, Ramos also said that chain migration leads to a “tolerant, diverse, multiracial and multicultural country.” He said that the Republicans are not proposing immigration reform, but rather “immigration revenge.”
RAMOS: “The fact is, Republicans with these negotiations, they want to change the essence, I think, of the United States. I mean, do they really want to make America white again? Is that the deal? What I have seen from the Democratic side, and from talking with the DREAMers, is that they’re willing to negotiate DACA for a few miles of wall, maybe 300, 350 miles of wall. That’s as much as they can go. But to tell them that from now on, everything is going to change, that change migration has to be stopped, that in other words that family unification is no longer going to be the immigration principle that’s going to guide us into this tolerant, diverse, multiracial and multicultural country. I don’t see it. The way I see it, DACA for just a few miles of wall. But nothing else.”
What good would 350 miles of wall do? Nothing — which is exactly what Ramos wants. The more Spanish-only speakers in the U.S., the better it is for Ramos and Univision. It’s not complicated at all.
Ramos also totally misrepresents the GOP position on chain migration:
COOPER: Jorge, you hear the President. How much does a DACA deal fall on the shoulders of the Democrats right now?”
RAMOS: “Well, it’s not going to be easy for Democrats to accept everything that President Trump and the Republicans want. They’re not proposing immigration reform. They’re proposing immigration revenge. Because they not only want to help the DACA students, but also they want a wall, they want more border security, they want to end the so-called chain migration, which is really family reunification, and then, the visa lottery. I don’t see a deal possible that way. For the DREAMers, what they’re asking them is the impossible because Republicans are saying, ‘You know, we want to legalize you. However, we want to deport your father, your mother, your siblings.’ That’s simply an impossible choice for them.”
Under a couple of GOP plans that are being proposed this week, the parents and siblings of DACA recipients would be allowed to stay, although they’d be ineligible for citizenship. Ramos is either an ignoramus or he knows full well what is being proposed and chose to make the GOP plans sound worse than they are.
This marks Ramos as little more than a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party and not much of a “journalist” — which, these days, isn’t saying much at all.
