The United States gave me opportunities that my country of origin could not: freedom of the press and complete freedom of expression.

The most important responsibility we have as journalists is to question those who are in power. I honestly believe that.
When journalists forget that our job is to question and annoy those in power, there can be huge consequences.
It's a privilege to work as an anchor for Univision, but more important, I am amazed by how Latinos are transforming America.
