Many people are aware of what is going on at the southern border, thanks to recent photographs and videos depicting the violent treatment of Haitian migrants by border patrol agents. Many celebrities have taken to social media to express their outrage at the terrible photographs while also expressing their support for the Haitian migrants. Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View,” has gotten a lot of attention for her comments on the matter, and she revealed why it touches near to home for her.
During Tuesday’s episode, Sunny said, “I think that U.S. policy towards Haiti has always been corrupt and it doesn’t have to be that way because we know that the United States can do it, there is a way to do it, there’s just no will to do it.”She continued, “The United States and the White House has promised to bring 95,000 Afghans here, and I’m not saying they shouldn’t be brought here, they should be, that is the promise of this country. But if you can send 95,000 Afghans here why are you sending eight-six Haitians back on an airplane to a county that has been devastated?”
Sunny stated that the Trump administration initiated the strategy of removing migrants and refugees from the United States, and that Haitians have not been given a fair shot. She added that because her spouse is Haitian, she takes this issue very seriously. Take a look at what she had to say in the video below: As we previously reported, the White House stepped out after tragic photographs and videos exposed what Haitian migrants face at the border, saying the suspected use of whips on the refugees is unacceptable.
