For Ana Navarro, this was the FAFO election, and now some voters are getting into the “discover out” part. On Monday’s (November 11) version of The View, the cohost got here in with a decidedly defiant response to the outcomes of the 2024 presidential race, particularly when it got here to her fellow Latino voters.
The primary “Sizzling Subject” of the day for Navarro and fellow panelists Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin (notice: Alyssa Farah Griffin was out sick) was the appointment of Tom Homan as Donald Trump‘s incoming “border czar,” a person who has expressed staunch views on mass deportations.
After reviewing footage of Homan saying in an interview that the best way to keep away from household separations in mass deportations is, “households will be deported collectively,” Navarro, who immigrated from Nicaragua as a toddler and is now a naturalized citizen, had quite a bit to say.
“It’s chilling what he simply mentioned. You notice that when he says, ‘Sure, households will be deported collectively,’ what he’s saying is that if the father or mother is undocumented they usually have U.S. citizen kids or a U.S. citizen partner, and also you don’t need to separate them, then let’s deport the U.S. residents,” Navarro defined.
She then went on to say that Trump has full authority to hold out these plans with the Republicans basically gaining management of all branches of federal authorities and famous, “Lots of people thought that when he talked about mass deportations, he wasn’t being critical. I don’t know what number of occasions he needed to say it for folks to comprehend he was being critical. Properly, in case you thought he wasn’t being critical, the appointment of Tom Homan at the moment as border czar — and he will likely be answerable for a mass deportation program, the biggest the nation has ever seen, they are saying — and now Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Employees, ought to let that he was completely critical. ‘Oh, it’s simply going to be the criminals.’ There’s not sufficient criminals, ‘aliens’ within the federal jail system for it to be mass deportations. What it means is brothers and aunts, what it means is grandmothers, what it means is abuelos, it means Dreamers, it means your loved ones members, it means your colleagues, it means your pals, it means people who find themselves a part of the society.”
If that wasn’t sharp sufficient, Navarro capped off her remark with, “Look, America, these of you who voted for Trump, that is what you wished. That is what you voted for. You screwed round, and also you’re about to search out out.”
Hostin, whose mom is Puerto Rican, agreed with Navarro’s sentiments, saying, “We get the federal government that we vote for as a rustic, and the vast majority of the nation apparently voted for this.” She went on to argue that propaganda about immigrants committing crimes is fake and added, “I feel this notion actually is about otherization of individuals. I feel it’s a couple of tradition battle, and I’m unhappy for the nation, fairly frankly.”
Haines had a distinct take, saying, “I feel that the weaponizing of immigrants, or equating immigrants to criminals, was feeding off folks’s fears as a result of statistics don’t assist that. However there’s a downside on the border, and there’s been an issue for many years and many years.” She then went on to criticize the growth of asylum claims and the availability of sure advantages to undocumented immigrants when common residents are additionally struggling to make ends meet.
Goldberg fought again on that matter just a little bit, saying, “Maybe the issue was, then, the voters ought to have mentioned, ‘Why didn’t we go the laws that they had put collectively?’” in reference to the border invoice that Trump and his allies scuttled forward of the election.
However Navarro was undeterred and returned to her level as soon as once more, saying, “I noticed a statistic through the election, and I feel it was in The New York Instances, that mentioned that when Trump mentioned issues, folks didn’t assume it utilized to them. So in the previous couple of days, I acquired a name from a few folks, buddies of mine, folks very near me in Miami, huge Trumpers, who’re apprehensive about what’s going to occur to their undocumented nannies that assist them elevate their kids. So I steered that they discover ways to clear their child’s a**.”
After some additional dialogue of what’s actually inflicting financial ache for Individuals, Navarro claimed the final phrase on the matter, saying, “You realize what? Those that voted as a result of the worth of eggs was too excessive, wait ’til there’s a raid on the poultry farms in Georgia and Arkansas. Then we’re going to speak in regards to the worth of eggs.”
“That is going to be an ongoing dialog as a result of he’s not even in but, and it’s hitting the followers,” Goldberg mentioned to shut.
