New Asylum Program Directs Ukrainian Refugees To U.S. Airports



President Biden said the program will be “streamlined” so Ukrainians do not need to go through the Southern border to enter the U.S. Ukrainians would need a sponsor to financially support them, and advocates worry the plan could mean a lot of paperwork and time that many refugees do not have.

  1. The Republicans are gonna love this!

  2. You are a bunch of liars

  3. BS! They should go to European countries! We have already donated billions of our tax money, and now we provide them shelter! SHAME! Our own people here at home need a lot of help and attention.

  4. The Biden administration should look into the Canada Ukraine authorization for emergency travel. The United States should follow the same procedures or most of the procedures to get these Ukraine refugees into the United States airports. Ukrainians are traveling to the Mexico border because they were able to obtain a travel visa to Mexico within 24 hours unlike the United States who dragged their feet and stopping Ukrainian refugees of getting to United States airport. Now today Biden releases a plan to let refugees fly into the United States from Ukraine with a lot of red tape attached to it. Again. Look at Canada President Biden! Canada Ukraine authorization for emergency travel is working 100%. No red tape attached.

  5. CANCELO HAYER, NO MAS UKRANIANOS EN MEXICO PUEDEN ENTRAR

  6. Refugees are meant to come temporarily. Call it Immigration not helping refugees

  7. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
    GOD BLESS J.BIDAN 🙏

  8. You can take good care of your own people and you are still adding up telling the world that u are ok but not. Ooh hypocrisy of the Americans will end our beautiful America one day.

  9. All those Mexicans Guatemalan and everybody else it's been stuck on our southern border has been complaining so much the democrats did a u turn disgusting!!!!!

  10. Are they doing this because they are white??

  11. Totally ridiculous I cannot believe this is happening before my eyes

  12. Wow. Long flight!!! Now stock in Mexico waiting like everybody else!!!!!

  13. There should be Posters displayed at the US border showing Skid Row and Homeless at US Parks & Beaches.

    Welcome to America, the land of the homeless and Earth's worst pandemic mismanagement.

    Pinkies stole California, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico & Western Colorado from Mexico.

    Will the Pink Ukrainians and Russians be sterilised by ICE agents like the Mexicans were at the border?

  14. Yeah sponsor a visious Nazi facsist or how about a serial killer Z let out or a ME Freedom fighter. Go ahead see if you turn up dead. By the way they have women Nazis too. Read the news since 2014 they INDOCTRINATED children too. But don't worry about the 100 million US citizens dumped into the streets because of covid what a ship show.

  15. I would be more concerned with Russian spys with fake docs passing in as refugees. Oh and by the way does this also mean that Ukrainians have some magic shield against COVID?

  16. East india company❤️ abolished all shameful slaveries that existed in india 🙏🙏🙏🙏
    God bless UK

    The "breast tax" (mulakkaram or mula-karam in Malayalam) was a head tax imposed on the Nadars, Ezhavars and lower caste communities by the Kingdom of Kingdom of Tranvancore (in present-day Kerala state of India).[1][web 1][web 2][note 1] They were expected to pay the tax when they became laborers, about the age of fourteen.[8][note 5] The lower caste men had to pay a similar tax, called tala-karam, "moustache tax," independent from their wealth or income.[5]
    British india abolished this evil SLAVERY practices 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍

  17. I wonder 🤔 why only Ukraine 🧐

  18. so what is the new website to use?

  19. NATO countries should take the burden.

  20. Wake up Americans you're being replaced under the guise of conflict.! Pay attention.

  21. Wake up Americans you're being replaced under the guise of conflict.! Pay attention

  22. Denver Honekess MAKE ROOM !
    Abs u r to take on more when you can't handle what you have.

    Now my foods stamps will drop and they will get lots. No English? Just dumb iurxschools down further housing 10 to a 1 bedroom ?take care of US
    Stop now

  23. they should just copy what they do with the Afghan refugee. Bring them to military base then process the necessary documents need so it will be much more faster and less hassle…

  24. In March, Biden pledged that the U.S. would accept as many as 100,000 refugees from Ukraine. But March record ONLY 12 approve to enter US 😅

  25. Why not settle in "lovely" Mexico?

  26. We just don't have the money to do this! What's going on here! Using tax payers money to put up the illeagal aliens flown in clandestine places in the middle of the night, giving free phones, food stamps and money? Now we are are giving the Ukraine $800 million dollar package as well as arming them with weapons, helicopters, ect. and now we are taking the people too? Where is all this money coming from?

  27. It’s so heart-breaking to see the plight of the Ukraine's brave soldiers taking their last stand in Mariupol. They are the heroes and determined to fight till to their last drop of blood. Like the heroic people of Ukraine, the people of Burma are also taking their last stand to stamp out the military dictators from the land, once and for all. The National Unity Government (NUG) which is formed by the elected members of the parliament by the people in 2020 general election, which resides in the liberated areas, has declared to begin an “offensive war” from now on against the military regime, from the previous defensive positions. Loads of junta forces’ wives and children are now fleeing the city of Yangon, to the military stronghold city of Naypidaw in droves, in fear of attacks from the guerrilla forces. On 19 April 33 junta’s soldiers were killed and 42 wounded in a 15 days battle with the KNU. In other news, 5 police and 50 soldiers were killed by mines and attacks near Hteelin (ထီးလင်း) by the People’s Defence Forces – PDF (Democratic Voices of Burma DVB in Burmese 19 Apr 2022). For revenge, soldiers burned villages along the way. Students, who were protesting peacefully on the streets before, are now becoming PDFs and have trained systematically to fight back the military regime. At the beginning, they started with catapults and hunting rifles, but they now have some automatic weapons bought by donations from the people through black markets. They will not stop until they get the victory. They have trained well and are now gaining momentum (BBC in English 22 Apr 2022 “Myanmar – Young rebels fighting for democracy” & 01 Feb 2022 “The deadly battles that tipped Myanmar into civil war”). Fight on heroes of Ukraine till you defeat the Russian invaders! We will also fight on till we get our freedom and democracy! May the hero President Zelenskyy and the heroic people of Ukraine defeat the cruel Russian invaders!

  28. DEAR UK PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE A WAY IF YOU PRAY!

  29. The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures. I'm taking a trip into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic. Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability.

  30. Are they fully vaccinated?

  31. I DO BELIEVE ALL OF THE TERRORIST ATTACKS WE'VE HAD IN THE U.S. RECENTLY MOSTLY WERE COMMITTED BY U.S. CITIZENS.

  32. There not terrorists ppl!!!!

  33. Yea they don't want whites mixing with non-whites at the border who will see them getting preferential treatment because they are white. And dead by drug lord is different than dead by Azov Nazi or Russian liberators. LOL Racist Amerika! Gotta love the hypocrisy. When do the Palestinians get to fly in?
