President Trump has introduced the Trump Gold Card, a $1 million initiative designed to fast-track permanent visas for immigrants. However, this move hasn’t won over Joy Behar and her fellow hosts on The View. They criticize it for seemingly favoring wealthier immigrants who can afford the hefty price tag.

During a discussion, Alyssa Farah Griffin highlighted that the steep cost allows affluent individuals to bypass others in the immigration queue. Behar questioned, “What is the last thing he did for poor people?”

Behar continued her critique, noting, “Can anybody remember any of it? I can’t think of a single thing he’s done for those who aren’t wealthy.”

As reported by CNN, the Trump Gold Card enables foreign nationals to pay $1 million to speed up their visa processing, while companies can pay $2 million to sponsor foreign employees they wish to bring to the United States. This policy follows President Trump’s previous remarks about immigrants from what he controversially labeled as “shithole countries,” specifically citing Somalia as “filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime,” according to NBC News.

Behar seemed skeptical of the Trump Gold Card. “Let’s wait to see f Haitians can do it, and Somalians can do it, and Nigerians can do it and then we’ll see if he means what he says,” she commented.

Griffin shared that her “biggest” issue with the Trump Gold Card is the optics, pointing out that the $1 million price point is quite low compared to other countries.

“The branding makes it look like America is for sale,” she said. “This is something that exists in other countries. I actually think one million is fairly low considering there are a lot of people who can pay to do that overnight and they’re going to jump in front of other people who have been waiting in the system to come in.”

“I don’t like the optics of it. I think there’s a clear priority of immigrants should come in,” she continued. Griffin explained that she believes the country should “prioritize asylum seekers and refugees.”

Sara Haines also complained that the Trump Gold Card would prioritize the wealthy at a point when there is a growing class divide.

“We don’t need more people at the top. The problem here is the top is so heavy in this country,” she said. “We need the people that do the work, not the ones that skip the line because they’ve got a lot of money.”

Behar’s comments come soon after Whoopi Goldberg made a similar comment, questioning what the president has done for the American people.

“His personal stuff, I could care less [about],” she began. “I want to know, what are you doing for us? You said you were gonna be the president for everybody, but you haven’t been the president for anybody. You’ve been the president just for you.”

Goldberg continued, “He said he was our president. He’s not our president. He’s a guy who likes to get butt-kissed. That’s what he is. I need you to be the president, or your legacy—what’s left of it—is gonna disappear and you will just be a footnote like gas in the desert.”
