Letter body: 

The Statesman Journal has neither corrected nor apologized for the Aug. 28 thumbs down it gave Donald Trump for the Jorge Ramos exchange.

Ramos didn’t ask a question at the Aug. 25 question-and-answer event. He leapt to his feet without being called on and began pontificating with the left’s favorite mantra: “You can’t deport 11 million people.” No question, just declarations from Ramos.

I think the entire exchange was a metaphor for illegal immigration: Ramos broke the rules (like illegals), cut the line/pushed to the head of the line while others waited to be called on and he jumped up and began shouting (expected special treatment). Trump had Ramos (the rule-breaker) removed.
