Telemundo Solves Riddle Of Latino Trump Voters Through Actual Journalism
NewsBusters.org ^ | December 20, 2016 | Jorge Bonilla

Posted on 12/20/2016 5:43:04 PM PST by Kaslin

The question hangs heavy over our domestic Spanish-language news media: "Why did Hispanics vote for Donald Trump?" As the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States continues to approach, our two leading networks took widely divergent approaches to this question.

Univision has chosen to treat the question as if it were an unsolvable enigma- not unlike a 17-sided Rubik's Cube delivered straight from the bowels of hell. Anchors and hosts alike have been utterly confounded as to the reasons why a vast number of Latinos would reject the network's messaging (not to mention the network itself). Anchor Jorge Ramos simply wrote off those Latino Trump voters as having "forgotten where they came from", rather than asking tough questions to which one does not know the (brutal) answer.  

But Telemundo took a different approach. Rather than speculate as to the motives of Latino Trump voters, Telemundo found these voters...and spoke to them, and got some answers. From last Thursday's edition of Noticiero Telemundo:

Jorge Ramos is NOT a journalist. He is an activist with an agenda and wants to implement his regime.

Telemundo, speaking about a US citizen's words:

“Like Elizabeth, many other Hispanics overlooked the threats of deportation and the construction of a wall, and trusted in his promises of jobs.”

Are Mexicans so stupid as to believe illegals who vote are the Trump voting block?

Stupid Mexicans!

the interview on the non-Jorge Ramos Telemundo:

ELIZABETH PEREZ, TEXAS TRUMP VOTER: I called for a vote for Donald Trump because of his plan to reduce taxes that will favor the creation of more jobs here in the United States.

VICTOR HUGO RODRIGUEZ, CORRESPONDENT, TELEMUNDO: She tells us her father lost his job following the implementation of NAFTA, which President-elect Donald Trump now wants to end. Like Elizabeth, many other Hispanics overlooked the threats of deportation and the construction of a wall, and trusted in his promises of jobs.

ELIZABETH PEREZ, TEXAS TRUMP VOTER: So then now, many of those companies can return here to the United States, because there is going to be a reduction in taxes.

"Journalists" think they're smarter than regular citizens, just "plain folks". But they aren't. Most of the time, they are more ignorant...they have no experience outside of academia.

Ramos needs to have his citizenship REVOKED and then be DEPORTED.

During the Primary, Ramos PUBLICLY DECLARED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION that he was a Dual Citizen and regularly flies home to Mexico to VOTE in their Elections in DIRECT VIOLATION OF HIS OATH OF CITIZENSHIP.

There is NO such thing as a Dual Citizen under US LAW

Imagine that...a journalistic outfit that went into the field and performed actual journalism in lieu of activism.

That is a rare occurrence anymore.

Because they knew it didn't apply to legal citizens.

Trump campaigned in Pueblo, Colorado, a place I advocated here that he should campaign. This was because not only was it a democrat area of Colorado, but a blue collar traditional democrat area, unlike Boulder. Pueblo is a majority Hispanic region, but the key is that they are US citizens, having lived here for generations. How did Trump do? He won the country. It wasn't enough to win Colorado, but it is something to build off of, and continue in New Mexico.

That’s it! The common sense of ordinary Americans is worth more than all the tenured geniuses of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

Probably because they assimilated and are Americans and not Mexicans.

For example: They don’t fly a Mexican flag like some of you disrespectful leeches. They fly an American flag, and vote American interests.

Does the winning ever stop? DJT’s not even inaugurated yet, and already he’s turning the urinalists back into actual investigative reporters!

The problem is that there is no legal penalty or prohibition against it, which I am sure was overlooked by the founders due to the difficulty of travel at the time.

MEXICO is a "Totalitarian Regime" Volume 12 – Citizenship & Naturalization, Part L – Revocation of Naturalization Chapter 2 – Grounds for Revocation of Naturalization In general, a person is subject to revocation of naturalization on the following grounds:​ ​ A. Person Procures Naturalization Illegally​ ​ A person is subject to revocation of naturalization if he or she procured naturalization illegally. Procuring naturalization illegally simply means that the person was not eligible for naturalization in the first place. Accordingly, any eligibility requirement for naturalization that was not met can form the basis for an action to revoke the naturalization of a person. This includes the requirements of residence, physical presence, lawful admission for permanent residence, good moral character, and attachment to the U.S. Constitution.​ [1] ​ ​ Discovery that a person failed to comply with any of the requirements for naturalization at the time the person became a ​U.S.​ citizen renders his or her naturalization illegally procured. This applies even if the person is innocent of any willful deception or misrepresentation.​ [2] ​ B. Concealment of Material Fact or Willful Misrepresentation​ [3] ​ 1. Concealment of Material Fact or Willful Misrepresentation​ ​ A person is subject to revocation of naturalization if there is deliberate deceit on the part of the person in misrepresenting or failing to disclose a material fact or facts on his or her naturalization application and subsequent examination.​ ​ In general, a person is subject to revocation of naturalization on this basis if:​ ​ •The naturalized U​.S. ​citizen misrepresented or concealed some fact;​ ​ •The misrepresentation or concealment was willful;​ ​ •The misrepresented or concealed fact or facts were material; and​ ​ •The naturalized U​.S. ​citizen procured citizenship as a result of the misrepresentation or concealment.​ [4] ​ This ground of revocation includes omissions as well as affirmative misrepresentations. The misrepresentations can be oral testimony provided during the naturalization interview or can include information contained on the application submitted by the applicant. The courts determine whether the misrepresented or concealed fact or facts were material. The test for materiality is whether the misrepresentations or concealment had a tendency to affect the decision. It is not necessary that the information, if disclosed, would have precluded naturalization.​ [5] ​ 2. Membership or Affiliation with Certain Organizations​ ​ A person is subject to revocation of naturalization if the person becomes a member of, or affiliated with, the Communist party, other totalitarian party, or terrorist organization within five years of his or her naturalization.​ [6] In general, a person who is involved with such organizations cannot establish the naturalization requirements of having an attachment to the Constitution and of being well-disposed to the good order and happiness of the ​United States​.​ [7] ​ The fact that a person becomes involved with such an organization within five years after the date of naturalization is prima facie evidence that he or she concealed or willfully misrepresented material evidence that would have prevented the person’s naturalization.​

When activist propagandists engage in actual journalism, it is so rare it is newsworthy.

It looks like a wall. Let’s build it and charge Mexico for it. :)
