The View‘s Ana Navarro slams Alligator Alcatraz tourists as ‘racist,’ ‘horrible human’ beings: ‘Making America white again’
Navarro said that the onslaught of deportations is all about “making America white again,” in her estimation.
Ana Navarro has had it with political maneuvers targeting undocumented immigrants, The View cohost said in an impassioned response to Americans treating the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center as a tourist destination.
Amid reports that people celebrated Alligator Alcatraz with merchandise and visits to take photos outside the Florida locale, Navarro slammed the spectacle as “horrible” and urged people not to celebrate the misfortune of others.
“If you’re out there in the Everglades, driving out there and getting out of your car to take a picture as if it were the Eiffel Tower, you are a racist and you are a horrible human being,” the 53-year-old Republican panelist said, as the studio audience applauded her words.

Navarro’s statement came amid an uptick in controversial ICE raids around the country, which have led to the detention of undocumented migrants.
The commentator didn’t stop at her assessment of Alligator Alcatraz tourists, however, as she went in even harder on the developments from her post at the Hot Topics table.
“This is not just about undocumented immigrants. When you’re taking away temporary protective status, when you’re putting legal, permanent residents, detaining and deporting them, when you’re threatening U.S. citizens that you don’t like that you’re going to take away their citizenship — naturalized ones — when you’re talking about birthright citizenship and taking that away, this is not about going after the criminals and the gang members, this is about making America white again and otherizing everybody who’s an immigrant,” Navarro said.
“At the same time that they’re rounding up Latino immigrants, brown immigrants, they’re opening up the doors for white South Africans fleeing from a non-existent genocide,” she posed. “This is about one, deporting people and two, scaring people out of this country.”
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to the White House for comment.

Navarro has long spoken out against the Donald Trump administration’s policies, but has taken a specifically firm stand on the ICE deportations in recent weeks.
The political personality and TV host was born in Nicaragua, and eventually moved to the United States with her family amid political disruption in her home country.
