While weighing in on the big topic, the talk show who is also Haitian, got emotional while explaining that migrants are fleeing due to poor conditions: “To see my people being treated this way… they are fleeing because of the conditions in Haiti. Because of the earthquakes, this disasters, because of the political unrest. And this how they’re being treated.”

She added,

“they’re being treated like they are criminals. I feel like I’m watching a slave movie. These patrol officers are on horseback and they are whipping people, innocent people who just want to be treated fairly and get food.
