The latest kerfuffle began when Ramos tried to ask Trump about his immigration plan before he called. Trump responded by telling anchor Ramos to “go back to Univision.” Earlier this month Trump [insulted Fox News anchor Megan Kelly](http://time.com/3989652/donald-trump-megyn-kelly-blood-wherever/) after she asked him tough debate questions, saying she had “blood coming out of her wherever.” This week Trump continued to taunt Kelly, using the word “bimbo” to describe Kelly in tweet and saying he liked her show better without her. In another spat with journalists, Trump launched into a [tirade](http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2015/07/21/donald-trump-issues-statement-register-editorial/30460903/) against the Des Moines _Register_ last month after the newspaper’s editorial board called on him to drop out of the race. In a statement, Trump said the paper had “lost much circulation, advertising, and power” and would “do anything for a headline.” At a press conference this week, Trump pounced on Ramos as he stood up and asked Trump a question about his immigration plan before he was called. “Sit down. You weren’t called sit down. Sit down.” “I have the right to ask a question,” said Ramos. “No you don’t,” Trump said. “You haven’t been called. Go back to Univision.” As Ramos continued to speak, Trump appeared to glance at his regular, traveling bodyguard and click his lips. The bodyguard then approached Ramos and escorted him out of the room. When a reporter asked Trump about the exchange moments later, Trump said, “I don’t really know much about him… I didn’t escort him out. Whoever security is escorted him out.” Trump added “Somebody just walked him out, I don’t know where he is, I don’t even mind if he comes back, frankly… He’s obviously a very emotional person.” About ten minutes later, Ramos was allowed back into the room, and again challenged Trump on his immigration policy, saying “Your immigration plan is full of empty promises. You cannot deport 11 million people. You cannot deny citizenship to the children. You cannot—” Trump cut him off. “Why do you say that? Excuse me, no, no. A lot of people think that’s not right, that an act of Congress can do that,” referring to citizenship by birth, a constitutional principle that grants citizenship to children born in the United States. Trump interrupted Ramos several times, continuing to make his argument. “Excuse me, no. No, no, some of the greatest legal scholars, and I know some of those television scholars agree with you,” he told Ramos as they disputed birth citizenship. The exchange between journalist and real estate mogul was so tense partly because it centered on one of the most controversial planks of Trump’s candidacy, his immigration platform. The real estate mogul has called for the deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants and the construction of a 1900-mile wall between the United States and Mexico. Trump’s plan has won him the support of the Republican conservative base, and anger among immigrant advocates, moderates, Democrats and Hispanics. Ramos has been a persistent critic of Trump, questioning the Republican candidate’s scanty immigration white paper and the expense and chaos that deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants might cause. Trump defended his plan to Ramos, saying “We’re going to do it in a very humane fashion,” said Trump. “I have a bigger heart than you do.” ## Transcript [00:01] It's very simple. We either have a country, or we don't. [00:04] The first think I need is a wall, and I will build a wall, [00:07] and the wall is a fraction of what the Great Wall of [00:10] China, which is 13, 000 miles. [00:15] Think of it. 13, 000 miles as opposed to two, and a lot [00:18] of the area, you don't have to do, because you have [00:20] natural terrain. You have a natural wall better than [00:22] anything you could build. > So you really need [00:24] probably a thousand miles as opposed to 13 thousand [00:27] miles. So we will build a wall. Before I even start the [00:30] wall though I'm gonna get the bad ones out. We've got [00:33] some really bad dudes in this country and their gang [00:36] members in Baltimore and their gang members in [00:38] Chicago and they're very bad people and we're going [00:42] to get them out. Before, because I can do that the first [00:46] day. Just talking about the hard- working, peaceful [00:50] undocumented immigrants here. Illegal immigrants. [00:53] We're talking about the illegal, you know the word, [00:55] right? The illegal immigrants. Okay. The They go [00:59] out. The state police? And we're going to have a [01:01] system where we're going to expedite if they're good [01:02] they're gonna come back in. But if they don't go out, [01:04] do you forcibly remove them? And they're gonna come [01:05] back in legally. But do you forcibly remove them? I [01:07] mean, if they choose not to go, if they say no, I'm not [01:08] going to go, my kid's in school. It will all work out. It's [01:12] called management. Politicians can't manage. All they [01:15] can do is talk. It's called management, and we'll do an [01:18] expedited system because I agree with you. There's [01:20] some very, very good people here, who are here [01:22] illegally. But they are illegal. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/"},"headline":"Donald Trump and Univision's Jorge Ramos Spar on Immigration","datePublished":"2015-08-26T00:32:34.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-14T02:28:02.000Z","description":"Trump sought to silence the Spanish-language journalist","url":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd075f0f0b2fef977/698860e3524fc07c7cdf43a6/gettyimages-485043514.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd075f0f0b2fef977/698860e3524fc07c7cdf43a6/gettyimages-485043514.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings In New York City - August 23, 2015","caption":"Celebrity Sightings In New York City - August 23, 2015","creditText":"Michael Stewart—GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","name":"Donald Trump and Univision's Jorge Ramos Spar on Immigration"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Donald Trump and Univision’s Jorge Ramos Spar on Immigration","description":"Donald Trump attacked the most important journalist on Spanish-speaking television in a face-off on Tuesday in Iowa, telling anchor Jorge Ramos to “go back to Univision.”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/RbR8uz23/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-08-26T06:05:08.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/RbR8uz23.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","duration":"PT45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Jorge Ramos' Full TIME 100 Gala Toast","description":"Watch Jorge Ramos' Full TIME 100 Gala Toast","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/CPDD46Ut/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-22T15:54:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/CPDD46Ut.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","duration":"PT6M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump on Immigration","description":"Trump on Immigration","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/CNqCXGsC/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-08-19T21:50:32.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/CNqCXGsC.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/","duration":"PT1M26S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4010745/trump-ramos-immigration/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
