Jorge Ramos: Illegal Immigrants Come ‘To Help Us’
Univision anchor defends criminal aliens, contends migrants flock to America to 'benefit our lives'

Mexican-born American journalist Jorge Ramos claimed that illegal immigrants come to the U.S. because they want to “benefit our lives” during an interview Friday evening with Chris Wallace on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”
Wallace, who was filling in for host Bill O’Reilly, pressed Ramos about his support for blanket amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. Ramos, a Univision anchor, took issue with President Donald Trump’s strict stance of clamping down on illegal immigration, as well as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials’ recent deportation of hundreds of mostly criminal aliens. Because a small number of the deportees weren’t criminal aliens, Ramos balked at the “mass deportation.”
“They are here because of us,” Ramos told Wallace. “They are coming here, again, not because they want to go to Disneyland or because they want to kill Americans. They are here to benefit our lives. I mean, they’re here to — millions of Americans benefit from their work.”
Ramos’ bizarre defense of immigrants’ desires to enter and reside in the U.S. illegally seemed to attribute an unrealistic sense of altruism to their decision-making process.
“The reason they are here, Chris is because of us. So we have to be responsible for that,” Ramos claimed. “It is not simply that they come here and they just wanted to come here and make money. Yeah, I mean, they want to do that. They want to better their lives. But also they are here to help us. So we are partly responsible for that and I think we are partly responsible for finding a solution.”
When Wallace pressed Ramos about the criminality of the illegal aliens being prioritized for deportation, Ramos insisted that he did not condone violent criminal aliens. Nevertheless, the Univision anchor attempted to justify some of non-violent criminal actions illegal aliens take part in once they’ve entered the country. Although he admitted that “it is a crime” when illegal aliens get a false social security card, papers, or drivers’ license that allow them to receive government benefits, Ramos seemed to try to justify such behavior.
“Let’s not be naive … Many of them use fake IDs. Many of them use fake drivers’ licenses. Why? Because they are working for us,” Ramos insisted. “They come here because they want to work. They harvest the food that we eat. They build our homes. And they don’t want to get in trouble with the police.”
Ramos continued his unusual defense of illegal entry into the U.S. by attempting to pin part of the blame on the 45th president.
"The problem, Chris, is that President Trump is criminalizing the immigrants in this country," Ramos insisted.
Ramos' defense came the same day that Trump reinforced his commitment to cracking down on illegal immigration during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
"You see what's happening at the border. All of a sudden for the first time, we're getting gang members out. We're getting drug lords out. We're getting really bad dudes out of this country, and at a rate that nobody's ever seen before," Trump said. "We are getting bad people out of this country. Whether it’s drugs or murder, we are getting bad people out and I said it from day one. Basically, all I’ve done is keep my promise."

Pretend journalist, Jorge Ramos, says illegals who commit identity theft do so to ‘benefit our lives

No doubt you remember Jorge Ramos - the perpetually outraged, virtue-signaling, illegal immigration activist who pretends to be a journalist - from that time President Trump had him thrown out of a press conference. After it happened, Ramos enjoyed a few extra minutes of fame, made the anti-Trump media rounds, then faded back to his previous level of mid-range notoriety. Unfortunately, with the illegal immigration issue still front-and-center, Ramos rears his head every so often.
His responses are predictable in the extreme: Illegal immigrants are wonderful. As long as they’re non-violent their myriad crimes are no big deal, and the U.S. should have something close to an open-border policy regarding Mexico.
In fact, if Ramos is to be believed, crimes like identity theft (and the falsification of state and federal documents) are completely justifiable. Why? Because they’re only committed so that illegals can “benefit our lives.”
From Fox News:
Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos told Chris Wallace on Friday that illegal immigrants coming across the Mexican border “are here to help” American citizens
“They are coming here to benefit our lives,” he said, noting the large amount of undocumented workers in fields such as agriculture.
“The vast majority of undocumented immigrants in this country are not terrorists,” he said, responding to repeated contentions by President Trump that many illegal immigrants are criminals.
Ramos said he has no problem with removing violent criminal illegal immigrants, but disagreed with Wallace when asked about those who use fake ID cards or commit identity theft.
“That is not a violent crime,” Ramos said on “The O’Reilly Factor,” “it is a crime [but] they are coming here to benefit our lives.”
“Many of them use fake drivers’ licenses, why? Because they are working for us,” he said.
This is great news for illegals. Ramos became a U.S. citizen in 2008. That means he has a U.S.-based identity and, judging by his comments, he has no problem with it being stolen. Illegals should feel free to use his Social Security number, address, driver’s license number, license plates, whatever. Stealing this information is a crime, using it is another, but they’re not violent, so Ramos won’t mind if you do it. You are, after all, just trying to benefit his life.
As for the rest of us, please, leave us alone.
Anyone who’s been the victim of identity theft will tell you what a nightmare it can be. The consequences range from inconvenience to life-altering credit damage that can take years (not to mentions huge legal fees) to untangle. If Ramos doesn’t mind dealing with it, that’s his business. Most people, however, will recognize it as anything but victimless.
The idea that a crime must be violent to matter is almost as laughable as Mr. Ramos’s brand of “journalism.”
