Univision anchor Jorge Ramos is calling on his fellow reporters to start asking Donald Trump tougher questions, especially concerning his immigration policy.
"He hasn't been challenged enough," Ramos told Time. "He hates to be challenged and it is time that we start doing it." Ramos had a run-in with the GOP presidential frontrunner Tuesday in Iowa, when he asked him a question about immigration and deportation. Trump told Ramos he hadn't called on him and he needed to sit down, and added, "Go back to Univision." Ramos was escorted out of the room by security, and although he returned a few minutes later, his question went unanswered. Ramos said he's particularly bothered by the fact that Trump had not explained how he will implement deportations or the building of a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. When Time asked Trump how he would deport undocumented immigrants, he replied, "It's called management."
Ramos said that response isn't helpful. "If he wants to do it in the short term, he would need to use the army, use stadiums, public places," he said. "The only way to do that would be to use trains and buses and airports to deport millions of people. It's in a scale never seen before in the world. And it is incredibly dangerous." Ramos, who reaches an audience of two million viewers nightly, hopes Trump will agree to an interview soon. "If it happens, it will be an uncomfortable interview for him for sure," Ramos said. "He can't and he should not get away with empty promises. At stake is the future of this country."
