Zitat des Tages von Jorge Ramos:
We need not only one Cesar Chavez; we need a thousand Cesar Chavezes.
The new rule in American politics is that no one can make it to the White House without the Hispanic vote.
I think as journalists, we have to keep our distance from power.
Immigration is the issue that tells us who is with us and who is against us; there's no question about it. And it's very simple to understand why - half of all Latinos over 18 years of age were born outside the United States. It really makes no sense to attack them and criticize them if you want their vote.
The most important responsibility we have as journalists is to question those who are in power. I honestly believe that.
Neutrality is for referees in a football game. You have to take a stand. The really, really good journalists always take a stand with those who have no power, with those who have no rights, and with those who have no voice.
Mexico will never accept U.S. military intervention. Mexicans always remember 1848.
Once you are an immigrant, you never forget that you are one.
We in the Hispanic community are truly tired of both the Democrats and the Republicans promising all of these things during the campaigns and then forgetting about it after the campaigns are over.
The future of TV is not on TV. It's on the smaller screens we are all using in front of the television set.
I'm not seeing tough questions asked on American television. I'm not seeing those correspondents that would question those in power. It's like a club. We are not asking the tough questions.
The Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci used to say that for her, an interview was like a war. I get the sense that we've forgotten that here in the United States. You turn on the TV, and you see very bland interviews. Journalists in the United States are very cozy with power, very close to those in power.

The United States gave me opportunities that my country of origin could not: freedom of the press and complete freedom of expression.
I don't think we've asked the right questions, the tough questions, at the right time, in Washington.
