Donald Trump In Heated Argument Threw Anchor Man Out

Tongue began to wag as republican presidential Donald Trump is in the news again after getting into a heated argument with a news anchor and having him thrown out of a press conference. Temper!
Jorge Ramos, a presenter for Univision, the nation's leading Spanish-language network, stood up and began asking Mr Trump about his policy on immigration.

Mr Trump's plans include ending automatic citizenship for infants born in the US to parents who are in the country illegally.

As Mr Ramos began speaking, Mr Trump interrupted him, saying he had not called on the reporter.

He repeatedly told Mr Ramos to "sit down", and then said: "Go back to Univision."
As a member of Mr Trump's security detail approached Mr Ramos, he continued talking, saying: "You cannot deport 11 million people."

This was a reference to Mr Trump's proposal to deport all people in the country illegally before allowing some to return.

As he was removed from the event, Mr Ramos added: "You cannot build a 1,900-mile wall," another one of Mr Trump's proposals.

Mr Trump justified the move by saying: "He just stands up and starts screaming. Maybe he's at fault also."

The journalist was later allowed back in, and was greeted politely by Mr Trump.

However, they soon resumed their argument, interrupting one another during an extended exchange.
"Your immigration plan, it is full of empty promises," Mr Ramos began.

"You cannot deny citizenship to children born in this country."

Mr Trump replied: "Why do you say that? Some of the great legal scholars agree that's not true."

During the encounter, which lasted for around five minutes, Mr Ramos claimed 40% of people in the country illegally enter via airports, not the Mexican border.

"I don't believe that. I don’t believe it," Mr Trump said in response.

The billionaire businessman said he did not believe a majority of immigrants in the US illegally were criminals or in the country to commit crimes.
"Most of them are good people," he said.

But Mr Trump then went on to describe recent cases where people had been killed by assailants who it later emerged were in the US illegally.

Mr Trump ended the exchange by reminding Mr Ramos that he is suing Univision, which dropped his Miss Universe pageant after he described Mexican immigrants in the US illegally as "criminals" and "rapists."

"Do you know how many Latinos work for me? Mr Trump said.

"Do you know how many Hispanics work for me? Thousands. They love me."

Isaac Lee, chief executive of Univision, said in response to the confrontation: "We'd love for Mr Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his proposals."
