In a return visit, Elisabeth Hasselbeck ripped her former co-hosts on ‘The View’ for their abject hypocrisy on wide-open borders. Hasselbeck, who co-hosted the ABC talk show from 2003 to 2013 and stepped in to guest co-host this week, didn’t hold back when the topic turned to illegal migrants on Wednesday’s episode.

On Monday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) said that if we stuck with diplomacy, “eventually”, “we would’ve gotten a better deal” than the Iran nuclear deal.

The poll also showed 63 percent support for a draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver’s licenses to…
