Before receiving the Walter Cronkite Award this past April, Jorge Ramos participated in a panel in which he spoke about his role as a journalist. He explains why he feels that one cannot remain neutral when they hear racist, sexist or xenophobic remarks from a president.

Since Donald Trump arrived to the White House the number of undocumented immigrants being arrested has increased, and not just those with criminal records. In fact, during his first few months in office, the total number of immigrants arrested, without a criminal history, has doubled.

Desde que el presidente Donald Trump llegó a la Casa Blanca, los arrestos de inmigrantes indocumentados han subido y no solo de aquellos con récord criminal. Durante sus meses como presidente, se ha duplicado el número de inmigrantes arrestados sin antecedentes penales.

La inmigración ha estado al frente de la discusión política en Estados Unidos durante casi dos años, particularmente desde que Donald Trump anunció su candidatura a la presidencia. Jorge Ramos cree que la inmigración es un tema que debe ser debatido, pero que ese debate debe basarse en hechos. Esto es lo que él le dice a aquellos que no dejan de criminalizar a los inmigrantes indocumentados del país.

Immigration has been at the forefront of political conversation in the United States for almost two years, particularly since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency. Jorge Ramos believes immigration is an issue that should be debated, but that this debate should be based on facts. This is what he has to say to those who have criminalized undocumented immigrants in the country.
