Sunny Hostin said Wednesday that President Joe Biden needed to answer for his decision to continue the border policies put in place by former President Donald Trump.

Hostin complained on ABC’s “The View” that Biden had not taken steps to end the border policies the Trump administration had put in place under Title 42, which allowed United States Border Patrol agents to deport illegal immigrants in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Co-host Joy Behar began the segment by summing up President Biden’s appearance before the United Nations a day prior.

“You know, I have to say it was a nice change to see our President Biden not get openly laughed at by the world leaders at the U.N. like Trump did a few years ago,” Behar said, noting that some critics had been angry that Biden had not addressed issues they believed were more pressing than climate change.

“I personally don’t know what’s more pressing than the fact we’re going to have to move to Mars, you tell me what is more pressing than climate change?” Behar continued.

“Well, I think the Haitians that are being rounded up with horse reins in Texas feel that’s a pretty pressing issue right now. I’m surprised he never addressed that —” Hostin began.

“Haiti is one of the countries that will be impacted by climate change,” Behar interrupted.

“Families being whipped by horse reins simply trying to get food for their children and their families and being deported —” Hostin continued, prompting Behar to ask, “Who ordered that?”

“The Trump administration started the policy under the Title 42, the Biden administration continued the policy, which I think is despicable,” Hostin said, adding that outrage didn’t do anything to actually solve the issue.

Co-host Ana Navarro pointed out that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has already promised to conduct an internal investigation.

“I hope he remembers that his family were Cuban refugees as well and they were treated a lot better than those people were treated by those border agents,” Hostin shot back.

Navarro went on to cheer Biden for addressing things like authoritarianism and climate change but said that she wished he had called on other countries to help with the refugee crisis.

“I agree with the things he did speak to climate change and everything, but it felt like he missed something by not referencing the border,” co-host Sara Haines added, noting that even though the U.N. was an international body, Biden could have mentioned it. “All day long, all we’ve been watching for days is this coverage of how tragic this is.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
