Univision anchor Jorge Ramos on Thursday opened the third Democratic presidential debate in Texas with a strong message to Hispanics: “This is our country, too.”
“This debate is taking place at very difficult moment for Latinos in Texas and all over the country. That's why it's important they know that we know that this is also our country,” he said.
Ramos, also a host for Real America with Jorge Ramos, is a Mexican American journalist who was born in Mexico City, Mexico.
