Having read The Other Face of America, I had to get my hands on Jorge Ramos's memoir. He has inspired me to pursue a career in journalism, which is why I have followed his career for years. In No Borders, Ramos gives the reader an inside look into the life of a young Hispanic male seeking the American Dream. He moved to the U.S. from Mexico at the age of twenty-five, with very little experience in the journalistic field. Twenty-years later, he is a seven-time Emmy Award winning anchorman for Univision. From his tale of how he became one of the most successful reporters to recaps of his biggest news assignments, No Borders is an inspiring memoir about a man who stopped at nothing to get to where he is today...

This has to be one of the most astonishing and incredible memoirs of hispanics living in the United States. I loved Ramos's simplistic style, yet profound way of describing his thoughts. For those interested in journalism, this is a book to read.

This book reflects how an immigrant who works hard in the USA can succeed financially and professionally. Ramos has certainly proved that=--Congratulations. It is unfortunate that even though he has interviewed leaders of other countries and see how government in other countries hold back progress of their own people and yet Ramos hesitates to call USA his home. As he acknowledges Mexico made him and USA developed him...like a biological farther who has a child yet never nourishes or parents his child but the stepfather is really the "Father" because the step dad has cared, nourished the child. USA has been the step father for Ramos in many ways.

I truly enjoyed reading this book, Univision was always on my mom's television set and Mr. Ramos is my mom's favorite journalist, she loves him, and now I see why. Thank you Jorge for sharing your incredible story.
