  1. In Germany we said Fuc.. Putin!
    We have allot of War Womans with her Childs….every Day.
    No Young Guys or Mans…they are in Ukraine and Fighting against Putins War Machine!

  2. Let the Ukrainians come! Let all refugees come! 👍😊🇺🇸

  3. God created the world to be enjoyed together. Our job is to work together to protect and be in this world to survive. Fighting outsiders would be difficult. But it is even more difficult when we are against our own brethren who live under the same roof with us.

  4. Why not, our southern boarders wide open.

  5. The US need to pause asylum applications from Central Americans, Cubans and Venezuelans and only accept legitimate refugees from Ukraine

  6. Ukrainians 🇺🇦 are good, decent, respectful, hard working people and will contribute to American society.

  7. Preparing ??? With the current policy there will be plenty of time to prepare unless changes are made the process which takes years

  8. First help, the AMERICANS THAT ARE HERE ALREADY! DO You save someone house burning, WHILE your own house IS BURNING 🔥?

  9. This war is not against Ukraine. This war is against all the people. https://youtu.be/ImD4XuNA2zw ✊✊✊

  10. What? Refugees who aren’t uneducated, felons or drug dealers?

  11. Shouldn't you Yanks also let those Russians, who have fled Putin in also? Lot of Russians arriving at your Southern border, but you're only letting in the Ukrainians.

  12. You do know you are supporting a neo nazi army most ukrainians don't know they are supporting azov battalion a neo nazi army that infiltrated Ukrainian army since 2014 over 8 years when they were killing innocent civilians and families in the donbas region of luhansk and donetsk no one spoke out some evil people SMH 😤🤦🏻‍♂️

  13. West & Western media mafia has to encourage Zenasky & Ukrainians until complete destruction of Ukraine. Supply weapons & Amunations until weapon mafia satisfaction.

  14. European people built America they were our ancestors they are brethren We want them here Americans want them here we’ve been opening our doors to foreigners gladly the past 50 years so you better believe when our own people are suffering or bringing them home or bringing them to America

  15. Bring them here to seattle we want beautiful Ukraine people here to off set the lame bum new comers please send those European hard working beautiful people by the millions

  16. They’re NOT immigrants they’re refugees. Please know the difference. They’re not asking for citizenship and will go back home in a few months at the longest. They’re are thousands of people coming into America every month. A few more won’t make a difference

  17. I pray for all. Thank you for such caring hearts🕊️🧡

  18. If Mexican can't come, then no for the Ukrainians

  19. America: LOOK at what Poland has done, are doing, and hang your head in shame. The USA is downgraded again.

  20. Ironic black and Brown refugees are treated differently.

  21. Send them to Mexico and they can get in faster

  22. UNLIKE. HAITI AT LEAST THEY GET TO COME

  23. Americans shouldn't be allowed to move outside of the US.

  24. hmm,afghans,mexicans,nigerians.lets keep adding the list.

  25. Our first priority now is the Ukranian refugees

  26. Ukrainians will return home.Their visit around the world will be temporary. Take care of them USA! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦!

  27. We should’ve already prepared for Ukrainians arrival. Instead we are putting them in detention centers. WTF?

  28. Why aren’t the men and women fighting for their homes? COWARDS FLEEING asking for HANDOUTS!

  29. I sympathize with real refugees of war, but the times of the end are upon Us were no where in the earth will be unscathed or safe from Violence, Food shortages, Famine, pandemics and death!! Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

    22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

  30. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH WAR.
    This has NOTHING to do with Refugee status.
    This has to do with White and Brown.
    THEY ARE WHITE! Don't you get it?
    One IS SPECIAL IF YOU ARE WHITE.
    And these people are LITERALLY CAUCASIAN.

  31. Where do we all get to go when shyt gets horrible? We are ALL PEOPLE in this world, but some hearts are so selective. We ALL DESERVE TO BE SAFE AND TREATED WITH OPEN ARMS OF KINDNESS AND GRACE.

  32. SEND THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM! Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

  33. This is what WINNING looks like to the West under a woke military.

  34. Why do we bring Ukrainians in via the worst possible border(Tijuwana)?

  35. Come here and suffer with us
    Nobody has more homeless than we do🇺🇸
    You will be homeless one day too
