Watch this interesting video exchange:

Here's another story about it.

This is why Univision's ratings are through the roof.
They give an opportunity to those who make ass-umptions.
US Rep. Steve King easily qualifies.
Jorge Ramos asks those questions over and over so there is no DOUBT in the court that is the Media.
SMILING AND WAVING ROYALS

As delighted and smiling Britons finally got a glimpse of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s first appearance as parents, as well as a quick royal view of the future king, George Alexander Louis.
Kensington Palace released an official statement. The Royal couple wanted to show their appreciation, saying: “We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received. We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone - staff, patients and visitors - for their understanding during this time.”
Check out the future British King George waving during his first photo opportunity: http://world.time.com/2013/07/23/oh-boy-britains-newborn-royal-prince-g…
City Island Images contacted our favorite inside UK source, a former member of British Parliament and the most famous of all BBC war correspondents, Martin Bell. He said "We Brits are doing OK. We have an heir to the throne. We won the Tour de France, Wimbledon, the rugby and the cricket. And in my old age I lecture on cruise ships and have become a published poet....much safer than the wars!"
Only some questions remain. Why did they name the bloke George Alexander Louis.? Do you think he looks more like his mom or his dad?
LA GUARDIA AIRPORT ACCIDENT

An emergency during the landing of SW flight 345 from Nashville had forced La Guardia Airport to temporarily shut down, still causing residual delays.
The flight landed @ 5:45P and safely came to a stop on the tarmac with the front of the plane pointing down to the ground.
The nose-gear on a Southwest Airlines jet landing at LaGuardia Airport collapsed injured eight and filled the plane with smoke, as 149 passengers and crew escaped the damaged aircraft using emergency slides, acceding to passengers.
NYC's La Guardia Airport is shut down until further notice.
