Jorge Ramos became U.S. citizen in 2008 (Univision)

I've been saying for a while that Univision anchor Jorge Ramos - despite residing in the U.S. for many years - continues to be a Mexican citizen by choice based on a statement he made in 2004. Now it turns out that he changed his mind and my information was out-of-date: Ramos became a U.S. citizen in 2008 (July 11, 2010 CSPAN interview: q-and-a.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1291):

Brian Lamb: Why did you become an American citizen and what year did you do it?

Jorge Ramos: I did it last - I did it in 2008. For me it was very important to participate fully in this country. It's truly a wonderful country and my fight is that this country would treat other immigrants like me the same way they treated the millions of immigrants who came after me. It's truly amazing, who could have thought that when John F. Kennedy was writing his book "A Nation of Immigrants," it was 1958, I was born exactly that year and with those wonderful ideas and of course he was killed in '63, but in '65 with the immigration act of 1965 everything changed and because of that, because John F. Kennedy and because of "A Nation of Immigrants" I'm in this country, so I wanted to participate fully. I was very concerned about the war, I was concerned about my kids. Paola who's 23 right now and Nicolas who's 12, they were born here in this country and I wanted to - I wanted to be fully part of the United States. This has been a wonderful, generous, and magnificent country for me and I wanted to be part of it.

It's not clear whether he became a citizen before or after he was allowed to ask questions of the U.S. presidential candidates at a CNN debate in February 2008, and the views expressed above differ from his views in 2004 (link):

[Ramos] does mention that he is not a U.S. citizen, despite his long years here, "in case I want to return to Mexico to run for office."

Consider this one of my extremely rare corrections. In almost nine years and almost 10,000 posts, I've concentrated on getting the facts right and I've only had to issue an extremely small number of corrections. But, I should have kept updated on his status since reading the quote above.
