Both are pissing people off.
But why? Jorge Ramos didn't commit any crime. He didn't kill anyone and steal their land or home.
All he did was become a naturalized U.S. Citizen after going through the legal process which more than a million people do after they can prove they will be an asset to America. ()
Naturalization Fact Sheet
Release Date: October 24, 2012
The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants from all parts of the world. During the last decade, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) welcomed more than 6.6 million naturalized citizens into the fabric of our nation. In fiscal year 2013, 777,416 individuals were naturalized, and in fiscal year 2014, 654,949 people were naturalized.
Deciding to become a U.S. citizen can be a very important milestone in an immigrant’s life. Individuals must demonstrate a commitment to the unifying principles that bind us as Americans and, in return, will enjoy many of the rights and privileges that are fundamental to U.S. citizenship.
