Reading another interesting New Yorker article now (it’s feast or famine with this magazine) about Jorge Ramos, anchor of Latino-catering Univision, and his exploits with Donald Trump. Apparently Trump not only refused to do an interview with him, but posted Ramos’ invitational letter on instagram, complete with Ramos’ personal phone number, and then at this press conference refused to answer Ramos’ question, and kicked him out. Clear lack of poise and respect for an important figure in American communications, if nothing else, hardly behavior fit for presidency. One thing I’d like to add, though, for everyone who thinks America should raise its minimum wage — that’s the whole reason Mexicans come to this country in such droves, they can work here and easily earn enough money to support a family. I must admit I don’t really know TOO much about Mexico, I know the Ciudad is really crime-addled, but let’s not treat the current situation in America as if the minimum wage is the problem, especially when raising it would hurt companies like the one that owns the South Bend Tribune, which happens to be a really vital player, for its size, in an already extremely depleted industry. I’m also disgusted with the Democratic party for making its primary objective to “build an economy”… what about values like public schools, women’s rights, water supply? People don’t like being poor? Deal with it. We live in the most self-conscious nation of all time. I wanted to be a teacher — I wouldn’t even know what to DO with 30,000 dollars a year. I’d be like throwing 10 dollar bills into my fire place to keep warm with, after biking home for the day, burning no fossil fuels. Anyway, I hardly think Mexicans are escaping some sort of humanitarian crisis by immigrating, I think America just offers a preferred working lifestyle.
