ABC Features Univision’s Ramos to Stigmatize Arizona Ruling: ‘Sad Day...Last Hope Is Gone...More Persecution’
The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the law requiring Arizona law enforcement to check the immigration status of those they suspect are illegal is “very disappointing and very dangerous,” represents “a very sad day for the Hispanic community” and “will only create more persecution and discrimination” while “the last hope is gone.”
So contended not a left-wing activist, but a “news anchor” in the guise of one given a platform on Monday’s ABC World News.
Last month, ABC News announced it would “join forces with Univision News to create a multi-platform news, lifestyle and information programming service aimed at U.S. Hispanics.”
Monday night that meant giving Jorge Ramos, co-anchor of Noticiero Univision, a full two minutes to denounce the Supreme Court's decision upholding Arizona's right to enforce immigration law. ABC failed to give any advocate of the law any time to balance Ramos.
Diane Sawyer teased World News by using the pejorative “show your papers” terminology as she characterized the provision as “inflammatory.” Sawyer:
Tonight on World News: Show your papers. The Supreme Court gives an okay to the most inflammatory part of the Arizona immigration law. Tonight, team coverage, including Jorge Ramos of Univision.
Sawyer soon cued up Ramos to pontificate, even prodding him: “Tell me some of the personal stories you’re hearing from people about their experience with this and what they expect to happen now, what they’re doing?”
From the Monday, June 25 World News on ABC:
DIANE SAWYER: One perspective tonight from Univision, our new partners and friends and the number one Hispanic network in America. I talked to the co-anchor of Univision’s evening news, Jorge Ramos.
SAWYER: Jorge, what does this mean for our shared audience tonight?
JORGE RAMOS, UNIVISION: I think it’s very disappointing and very dangerous. This a very sad day for the Hispanic community. When the Supreme Court allows a state like Arizona to use racial profiling as a rule, we know that we really need immigration reform right now. The Hispanic community did not like the “show me your papers” provision and this will only create more persecution and discrimination in Arizona and in many other states. It’s difficult to believe that the immigration law in Arizona could be an example for other states in the country and it’s even more difficult to believe that Sheriff Joe Arpaio could become a role model for other law enforcement agencies. It is completely unreal.
SAWYER: Tell me some of the personal stories you’re hearing from people about their experience with this and what they expect to happen now, what they’re doing?
RAMOS: The last hope is gone. Many people were expecting a positive decision from the Supreme Court. And it’s gone. So it means that right now, they have to take cover. And that essentially for many people means leaving Arizona, going to other states. This is not the kind of United States that we thought of when we were immigrating from Mexico, Central America to the United States. This is not the kind of country that we expected and this is exactly what we’re seeing. So we really need major immigration reform. And both parties are to blame for that inaction in Congress. But right now, what I’m listening to from e-mails and phone calls and from talking to people in Arizona, it’s fear, and fear of persecution in the future.
SAWYER: Thank you so much, Jorge Ramos, as we say our friends and partners at Univision, and it’s great to talk to you tonight.

If you obey an unlawful order of President Obama's, you will be held accountable for your actions. You will be charged, arrested, tried and convicted for violating your oath of office. Just like the Nazi military was held accountable at the Nuremberg Trials, you will not be able to claim you were just following orders.

the medium is not the message; and continual, unasked for, in-your-face familiarization indubitably breeds contempt.
The 'importance' of the message becomes exponentially diluted by overexposure - and as you are already past that point with some posters, they will start tuning you and your message out.
Too much, even of a good thing, is still too much; and rapidly becomes off-putting.

Hey, ABC, you should hire Ramos to replace Sawyer. He'll work for ALOT less money, you can deny him health coverage and other benefits. I understand he'll work under the table and he works harder than Diane. I mean, that's what I hear...Sawyer won't mind, she's all for American workers being replaced with Latinos.
Added benefit, he doesn't constantly do that, "I'm dumb as a stump plus I'm hoping you people are buying my libtarded talking points" squinty-eyed, scrunched-up forehead thing that Sawyer does.

hispanics - were I a LEGAL immigrant - someone who had waited for years and followed the rules for entering the country LEGALLY, I'd be mighty angry to think all of these LAWBREAKERS were being encouraged to continue to break the law!
I know we have all seen the Mexican immigration laws - they aren't too friendly with those who try to skirt them.
WHY is America the only country in the world that does NOT enforce their immigration laws???????????????
When we travel to other countries, of course we carry our passports...why is it so difficult to understand that that is the law...and non-citizens who are in OUR country should be required to do the same. No problem...No difference...JUST OBEYING THE LAW!

But then they did a 180 on that when they dicovered it was more advantageous to admit that majority and to use them as a 'racial' victim group. Everything is seen through the lens of politics by libtards.
Sorta like how fetuses are not persons unless a pregnant woman signs in as a guest of the White House. Whatever can skew things to their advantage, they are never ashamed.

Submitted by robjh22 on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 11:19pm.
Something I am not getting: what happens when the Arizona cops do have independent probable cause to make a stop, develop suspicion that the detainee is illegal, and ask for papers. "I don't have any," he says. Then what?
They aren't going to deport the guys themselves. So all they can do is call ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement.) But they work for Obama in the final analysis. So what difference does it make? Are the agents going to pick up the guy in jail and deport him based on that phone call, given that Obama is against the AZ law in the first place?
My guess is no, not unless he can't make bail on the DWI case or whatever. But that would have happened anyway, even before the AZ bill became law, because ICE agents make sweeps of jails all the time in border states. It happens in Texas every day, and we don't even have the AZ "papers please" law.
What am I missing?

I got this number and e-mail address on line this morning but I forget where. I suggest that everyone call and/or send an e-mail to ask how the feds plan to protect the rights of LEGAL immigrants and American citicizens from being violated by ILLEGALS AND THE FEDS.

We need to swamp these sites demanding the feds follow the law. Please post the number and e-mail address everywhere anyone has commenting or posting privileges. We can beat Obama at his own game.
My other comment is if the Feds refuse to enforce federal immigration law and the states can't, where does that leave the citizens? Ask every democrat you talk to that question.
