Sunny Hostin Criticizes Deportation Policies on 'The View'

Hostin claims U.S. immigration enforcement disproportionately targets 'Brown' immigrants and labels the term 'illegal' as xenophobic.

Sunny Hostin argued on 'The View' that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than American citizens.
Hostin stated that being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal act, and criticized the use of the term 'illegal' as xenophobic and racist.
She claimed that U.S. immigration policies specifically demonize and target immigrants from Central America and Mexico, while overlooking others.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer agreed with Hostin's assessment, highlighting disparities in how immigrants of different backgrounds are treated.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, emphasizing concerns about border security and the economic impact of immigration on working-class Americans.
