She remarked, &#8220;Americans don\u2019t know stuff,&#8221;\u2064 implying that immigrants play a crucial role in contributing skills\u2064 and knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg&#8217;s comments came in response to Trump&#8217;s proposal to introduce a new visa which would allow \u2063wealthy foreigners to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">obtain\u2063 expedited \u200centry<\/a> into the U.S. for a fee \u2062of $5 million. Other co-hosts, including Sara Haines, voiced their\u200b concerns about the proposal, arguing that it could alienate legal immigrants and suggest that wealth could \u2062allow \u200bindividuals to &#8220;skip the line.&#8221; Haines warned that rich individuals could \u200bpose security risks,noting that some\u200d of the 9\/11 attackers were from wealthy \u200cbackgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Behar\u2064 added humorously that the proposal seemed focused on the needs of millionaires. The episode \u2063highlighted tensions in the immigration debate, particularly regarding wealth and access to \u200ccitizenship. The discussion took place against a backdrop\u2062 of\u200b CNN \u2062ratings, where &#8220;The View&#8221; has recently excelled in viewership compared to other daytime programs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Whoopi Goldberg claims immigrants are necessary: &lsquo;Americans don&rsquo;t know stuff&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1999182\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/the-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"The View\">The View<\/a><\/em>  co-host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/whoopi-goldberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Whoopi Goldberg\">Whoopi Goldberg<\/a> said during a discussion about President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s gold card <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"immigration\">immigration<\/a> proposal that immigrants are necessary because Americans are not helpful in knowing how to &ldquo;do stuff.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;My point is, we&rsquo;ve spent over 100 years saying to people, come, you&rsquo;re welcome.
