Alyssa Griffin of 'The View' shuts down co-host Sunny Hostin's claims on Trump's immigration policies
The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin defended the Trump administration against ultra-liberal co-host Sunny Hostin, who once again played the race card.
According to the Daily Caller, Hostin once again attempted to spread false information about the Trump administration and specifically its border policies, which she implied are racist in nature.
Griffin was quick to shut Hostin down with truth and facts -- concepts seemingly unfamiliar to many on the left.
"I think what’s fascinating to me is yes, [Trump] ran on immigration, and he ran really on the southern border because we know we also border Canada and that’s actually the largest border, but they’re not really going into Canada and looking for those Canadian people that are kind of jumping back and forth," Hostin said.
She implied that Trump might be focusing more on the southern border because the illegals "look a certain way."
"The point is, [Trump] was all about immigration from the southern border and those immigrants, or those migrants, look a certain way. So it seems to me it’s never really just about immigration. It’s about a certain type of immigrant and so now we have this -- can I finish talking?" Hostin.
Griffin roasted Hostin with truth on the spot, pointing out that the northern border situation usually doesn't involve Canadians crossing over.
"This is a misnomer. It’s not Canadians who come across the northern border,” Griffin said. “The northern border crisis is people coming from other parts of the world. India [and] Mexico. There’s not a bunch of Canadians flocking. There’s probably more Americans going to Canada right now," Griffin said.
Griffin added, "Just to clarify, because there is a border crisis on the northern border and it doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the southern border [because] the numbers aren’t as high."
Of course, Griffin's counter to Hostin's asinine comments were right on the money and were backed by statistics.
The Daily Caller noted:
Border Patrol agents witnessed a rise in Indian and East Asian migrants crossing into the U.S. from the northern border in the 2024 fiscal year. In recent years, most migrants apprehended at the northern border were Mexican nationals who had flown into Canada because the country did not require a visa for them at the time, though that policy has since changed.
During the 2022 fiscal year, over half of the migrants crossing into America from the northern border were those that flew into Canada from Latin American countries.
The left doesn't want to seem to acknowledge that tidbit of fact.
