Haines pointed out that 66% of Americans believe being undocumented is a crime warranting deportation. Co-host Sunny Hostin challenged this notion by asking if being undocumented is indeed criminal. Alyssa Farah Griffin added that it could still be considered a civil offense. Haines reiterated that many in the country agree with Trump&#8217;s actions, though not necessarily his methods, which led to further discussion about misinformation surrounding immigration laws. Hostin firmly stated that being undocumented is not illegal and emphasized the need for accurate information on this issue before her comments were interrupted by her co-hosts attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.
