Sunny Hostin is calling out America’s “lack of empathy” in light of President Donald Trump‘s deportation policies.

With immigration authorities making roughly 1,000 arrests per day, Hostin reminded The View‘s audience that “undocumented immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes than American citizens.”

“I also want to make a point that an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or she is undocumented,” she argued on this morning’s episode. “That is a civil offense. So to call people ‘illegals’ is in and of itself, I think, xenophobic and racist and incorrect.”

Hostin noted that nearly 1,200 people were arrested on Sunday (Jan. 26) — but only about half of them were considered criminal offenders, while the other half were either “nonviolent offenders” or never “committed any criminal offense at all.”

The former prosecutor then pointed out the type of people she sees ICE and Trump targeting.

“What we are doing again is that we have decided as a country to demonize a certain type of immigrant, a certain looking type of immigrant,” she said. “And those immigrants are either from Central America or Mexico. They are brown.

“There are a lot of undocumented immigrants here, about 40% of them, who come from other countries that aren’t brown,” she continued. “But we are not rounding them up!”

Hostin chalked up the deportations — and the negative response to the video Selena Gomez posted of herself crying over them — to America’s “lack of empathy.”

“I think this country is a country that lacks empathy, unless you have a lived experience. And that is very unfortunate. There are people who live lives of privilege who don’t walk in those steps,” she said, before referencing former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s refusal to accept same-sex marriage until her sister came out as lesbian.
