“There’s misinformation out there,” Hostin said. “Let’s axe that right now, because it is not illegal to be undocumented. It is not a crime to be undocumented. People are not illegal.”
“We need to put that information out there. It is a civil infraction,” Hostin continued.
Her co-host, Alyssah Farah Griffin, gave her push back and said that it wasn’t a misunderstanding, referencing Haines’ argument.
“I think that 60% of Americans believe it’s a civil offense and that if you come here, and you’re undocumented, that you should be deported,” she said.
Haines then told her co-hosts that they need to realize that more Americans are in favor of deportations than they think.
