2:31 pm
that's a special interview next. it is a controversial issue and an emotional one what to do about the immigration system in the united states all sides of this debate and there are many sides agree on one thing the system is broken but how to fix it and one to fix it has become the subject of a great debate i'm joined now by jorge ramos mr ramos has been the face of univision for twenty years serving as their anchor for their nightly news broadcasts has also authored some books including this one a country for all an immigrant manifesto mr ramos i want to thank you so much for joining me today you and countless others came out to rally support for and vote for now president obama he promised. several times that he would make sure that comprehensive immigration reform would pass within the first year of his
2:32 pm
presidency and it hasn't it's been more than a year but you can see that president obama has gotten a lot of other things done but he also promised why is it that so many hispanics are so angry that this was not the first thing that the president got too many latinos voted for president barack obama because he promised immigration reform nobody forced prosser more of almost no you nothing but he did he promise that during his first year in office he was going to have an immigration bill that he could strongly support and it's been eighteen months and we have seen absolutely nothing and we need. to stop the protégé show so if students he could have stopped the protests from cellphone in the parlance of us students as he could have called for a bipartisan summit of the white house he could have even presented his phone immigration proposal if you saw an immigration bill in john mccain during the during the campaign he also promised me that he was going to support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and that he even he described undocumented immigrants as god's children so what's going on right now when when
2:33 pm
john mccain when he's fighting a very tough primary. are they not god's children anymore i mean why you think he's supporting immigration reform right now so we have the blame is being shared by both republicans and democrats well since we're talking about the state of arizona let's talk about s.b. seven ten seventy this is a bill back in april that was signed by arizona governor jan brewer and it gives authorities not only the credence or the ability to but requires them to detain anyone that they suspect of being here here illegally but there are several people who support this bill and many would argue many times the many americans would many would even say the majority of americans support this bill they want to see more bills like this around the rest of the country what do you have to say to those americans the realities that immigrants pay taxes they create jobs and they don't take jobs away from americans they are simply taking the jobs that americans don't want to do i haven't seen millions of americans going to the farm fields in california texas or florida picking up tomatoes or or upwards so immigrants create
2:34 pm
jobs they bring crime down the department of justice just released a report recently stating that crime has been going down in the last decade despite the fact that the immigrant population has doubled so violent crimes have been going down thirty five percent twenty five percent so there's a lot of misinformation but if we realize that it's a great business to have immigrants in this country hopefully people just my church change their minds those are almost one of your main arguments in your book is that immigrants are needed because there's going to be such a large population of people that are retiring these are the baby boomers and that immigrants will be needed when there's a labor shortage you say this in your book but the term labor shortage is very hard to swallow for most americans right now many of whom are out of work it just doesn't seem feasible that there's going to be a labor shortage anytime soon it's very simple if you bring them out of the shadows they'll be able to pay more taxes they'll be more productive they'll create new businesses and they'll be able to employ more people so. again there's
2:35 pm
a lot of misinformation on the contributions of immigrants to this country and unfortunately when there is an economic crisis like the one we're facing right now immigrants are being blamed for for everything that's wrong with the sponsor from crime to unemployment and it's simply not for but if you take the civil rights movement there was martin luther king jr when you take the labor movement farm workers there was a cesar chavez there is not one leader in this movement and how do you mobilize and how do you get something to happen change to happen if there's not one person for people to rally behind what's so interesting is that we don't need one césar chávez we need a job was. and it is true latinos are on the represented politically we are fifteen percent of the population and we only have one senator that has to change this is it is incredible that the most powerful country in the world is persecuting and discriminating against eleven million people i just came back from
2:36 pm
south africa and he was amazing to see how in sixteen years they progress so much in getting rid of fighting discrimination it's fantastic what they're doing in south africa but when i come back to america and realize that you know the sauna and they're going exactly the opposite way it's really shocking i'm not saying that people the people in arizona want to create an up with a system but what i'm seeing in arizona right now in many other parts of the country you shamefully close to. those terrible days you are i mean award winning journalist that includes twenty years as an anchor for you know vision you have interviewed people from fidel castro to bill clinton to your current president barack obama i'm curious how you reconcile the fact that you are a journalist and yet you are so outspoken about one of the greatest issues of our time it's a great question an interesting one when i'm doing my newscast every night when i'm doing my political show with sunday mornings i am not supposed to i have never
2:37 pm
given my opinion i mean they didn't hire me to give my opinion on the other hand i mean i am an immigrant i am an immigrant with the privilege of being on the air all the time i am an immigrant with a voice in. in some times i do feel the need to speak for those who don't have a voice for those who are invisible in this country you wrote that hunger is stronger than fear and this is what drives so many immigrants to cross the border illegally knowing all the things that could happen to them but why is it that america has to be the place of respite for everyone that's hungry how much responsibility should for example mexico take for the thousands of people who are leaving their own native country what should they do both now and after some sort of immigration reform passes to make sure that this stops you're absolutely right mexico has to do more much better they have to create a million jobs every single year and they're barely creating about one hundred
2:38 pm
thousand jobs every single year so what happens with the nine hundred thousand young strong mexican synergetic creative who want to work they come to the united states of dnd it's an economic problem if you have a mexican making five dollars a day in mexico in they know that they can make exactly the same amount of money in the united states and half and i we're going to keep on coming what do you have to say to all those people who say you know i'm willing to work on immigration reform but i need to know first that the borders are going to be secure i perfectly understand the united states has the right to protect its borders i'm not against that i mean every single country has that right but do we also have to understand that a fence simply doesn't work almost half of all on the commented immigrants who come to the united states come by plane so it doesn't matter how high the fences they're going to keep on coming they simply come to this country they overstay their visas and nothing happens so it doesn't there are i mean i'm from san diego there are people who cross over every day there's a little tiny barbed wire fence that's knocked down and you just walk across i mean
2:39 pm
you can't say that you know you should just not have any fence at all you know what i mean what i'm saying these that there has to be a system that works when there are workers coming to this country and they are needed again what do you have for breakfast this morning and what do we have for lunch. was harvested by immigrants most probably the apartment of the house where you live and where i live was built by a local meant to me so there isa need for immigrants for the in this country in the usa you understand the border the border has to be secure i understand that but it's never going to be completely one hundred percent secure it is impossible to use impossible when you have the most powerful country in the world. be neighbor to a very poor country like mexico recently president obama did fulfill one of his promises that he made on the campaign trail he was able to get health care passed in order to do so he and many others in his party had to give up one aspect of the health care bill that they really probably want which is the public option what are
2:40 pm
you willing to compromise in terms of your goals that you want to see for immigration what are you willing to compromise and say ok i'll put that aside for this to pass there will be no immigration reform on unless the eleven million immigrants who are here are being taken care of that's that's the essential part the rest could be negotiated but what if these immigrants who haven't come here yet see a system where undocumented immigrants who are here get citizenship isn't that going to make it more likely for the for them to come again if they make ten times as much as they can make in latin america they're going to keep on coming so we have to have a system that works a system that on their stance that they're going to keep on coming that on their stance that we need them for certain jobs here in the united states but where do we draw the line do we just invite everybody no no no i think the united states again has the right to put a limit to how many immigrants they want to come but i know that after that limit as you say more will still come because we need i mean we need more immigrants into
2:41 pm
this country the biggest things that i've noticed is no one really can spell out in plain english nuts and bolts three or four things that they want for immigration so i'm asking you you've written books about it what very. plainly do you want and what would work is very simple we need three things we need to legalize eleven million undocumented immigrants who are here number one number two there has to be a system that assimilate then we need grants coming in from the salt and coming in from other countries and number three in the long term solution has to be done with with a lot of investment in latin america because all the while they're going to keep on coming for decades getting back to a little earlier we were talking about some of the anger and frustration with president obama for not having passed this. one if he doesn't pass it by the time the next election comes then there is going to be a backlash with voters i think and what if he's running against sarah palin i mean
2:42 pm
she's not going to do and i think it's a possibility but if president barack obama and democrats keep losing. voters then the board is going to be up for grabs so do hispanics just not show up at the polls do they just choose inaction no i think they're going to be voting something interesting when ronald reagan used to say that latinos are really republicans he's just that they don't know what what happens is that latinos many latinos are very conservative they are against abortion they are suspicious of big government so in that sense yes he's spending budgets are very similar to republican values and we have to remember that george bush got forty four percent of the hispanic vote jorge ramos journalist and author thank you so much for speaking with us thank you.
