A few days ago, the Biden administration decided to rescind the Title 42 policy at the Southern border. The policy was put in place, allowing border agents to turn away illegal immigrants due to a public health emergency. Title 42 was first announced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the Democrats ask for $10 billion in more COVID-19 aid, it appears the Southern border is once again open. And who better to discuss the issues surrounding the border than the numerous hosts of “The View”. 

While the hosts are known for their liberal antics, recently, the former White House press secretary for the Trump administration, Stephanie Grisham, was welcomed to the show where she argued with Sunny Hostin about the importance of a strong border. Hostin disagreed, stating, “Under U.S. law, a refugee is a person who is unable to or unwilling to return to his home country because of various reasons. In this country, once you enter the country, you have a right, a legal right because of our Constitution, because of the strength of our laws to ask for asylum. And so when you say they come in illegally, I take umbrage to that, especially because 14,000 Haitians were expelled under the Biden administration. Especially because 76,000 Afghans were welcomed to this country, which they should have been.”

The host added, “So it seems to me, the law is OK for some people, but not for people who look like me! And I don’t like that!”

Sara Haines interjected, supporting Grisham’s take on the border. “When Vice President Harris went down there, she said these states right now were not equipped at the borders, and then we saw an influx, and we can’t handle them, they couldn’t house them. Remember they were carrying food across the lakes. The problem is right now, our boat is not at its strongest, the lifeboat is not at its strongest, we are dealing with the highest inflation in 40 years, we’re in a war, we’re trying to avoid a World War III.”

Hostin snapped back, asking, “So we should just not follow the law?”

Having to explain herself, Haines gave Hostin an example. “No it’s not that, Sunny, but it’s the same thing as if you have a lifeboat and you say, ‘I want to save everyone,’ and everyone gets on and the boat flips, you save no one. Right now, we’re floundering, we have people that can’t eat!”
