JAIME BAYLY: Do you agree to admit that a political leader that wishes to stop undocumented immigration, is not necessarily a racist?

JORGE RAMOS: Oh, of course, I think there are people…

JAIME BAYLY: Is it legitimate?

JORGE RAMOS: Well, I think that every country has the right to protect its borders and choose who comes and who doesn´t. Now, you have to recognize that there are 250 million immigrants in the world, you and I among them, and most of the people here, and when there is a humanitarian crisis, that prevails, it seems to me, over the right of a country to protect its borders and not allow anyone in. I believe we are obliged to help the most vulnerable.
