Jorge Ramos has become a household name the likes of Dan Rather or Brian Williams, and it’s undeniable that the United States has been good to the Mexican-born journalist. He is an anchor on Univision’s news program Noticiero Univision, a syndicated columnist and an author of several bestsellers. He’s the number one Hispanic correspondent on television, and his newscast is seen across the United States and in 13 Latin American countries.

“I was censored in Mexico as a young reporter, and I found in the United States the opportunities my country of origin couldn’t give me,” Ramos said. He feels he has achieved the American Dream and so much more. He never expected to end up in the United States but credits much of his success to it. “I’m incredibly grateful to this country because I don’t think in Mexico I would have achieved all the things that I’ve accomplished in the United States.”
