That's the point of the article - -not WHO Jorge Ramos is. But you missed the intent because you got lost on the name.


"Latinos" are not being treated any differently. (You know, besides almost being uniquely coddled and accommodated and not even encouraged to assimilate anymore unlike the millions of immigrants from other cultures that came before them to the United States).

Illegal immigrants have always been the focus of Trump's derision, and if people like Ramos had the intellectual consistency and willingness, they would actually help their communities understand and gain context that is often loss in these translated conversations.


But, "help help, we're being oppressed!" is really good for minority focused media. Ramos is having the time of his life setting himself up as the voice of "Latino Resistance" against Trump. He has literally been given life the way people like Rush Limbaugh, etc. grew their base as opposers to Obama.

Saying you're "Speaking Truth to Power" can really inflate ones sense of importance.

He loves to exaggerate his accent.

, as other posters have pointed out he's nothing but an ethnocentric, illegal alien sympathizer. Tribe before nation, you know.

I finally read the article.

What a monstrous whine-fest from a supreme snowflake.

Laughed all the way through the article.

Just because *you* don't know what he is doesn't mean he isn't impactful in a community that often relies on him to synthesize English language news. Latinos are being fed garbage from Spanish language media that just isn't true.
All that to say he is a dysfunctional propaganda loon on the verge of meltdown because his fantasy is imploding.

While good ol' Jorge took the oath of a naturalized American citizen, it's quite clear that he didn't really mean it, as evidenced by his own words:

Unfortunately for Jorge, his position directly violates the solemn oath he swore in order to become a naturalized citizen of these United States:

Quote:
Originally Posted by Naturalization Oath of Allegiance

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship...states-america

Obviously, voting in the elections of one's country of origin after having taken the oath to become a naturalized American citizen is completely inconsistent with having renounced and abjured all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign state or sovereignty to which one has heretofore been a subject or citizen.

On the basis of this evidence, the paramount question arises: if Jorge Ramos is willing to lie in such a craven manner for the purposes of his naturalization oath, then can there be anything he will not lie about?
