JORGE RAMOS, SENIOR NEWS ANCHOR, UNIVISION: Cristina, does the wall work? Many Democrats and many Members of Congress had at one time voted for a border wall, there are currently 700 miles of wall along the border. Why not give President Trump the other 234 miles he’s asking for?

CRISTINA JIMÉNEZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNITED WE DREAM: Because it is now clear, Jorge, that this debate is about much more than the wall. This debate has become an anti-immigrant debate, and the wall is a symbol of that sentiment of hatred and of a totally anti-immigrant agenda. So as we see yet again, this president doesn’t just want a wall. He wants many other things such as deportation agents, he wants to keep these children incarcerated and separate families, and so…

RAMOS: AGREED.

JIMÉNEZ: ...we can’t allow ourselves to be deceived by this president.

RAMOS: Cristina Jiménez, thank you for joining us. Cristina Jiménez is, of course, the co-founder and director of United We Dream. Thank you.

JIMÉNEZ: Thank you, Jorge.
