To keep bringing in refugees from anywhere, when we have homeless people all over the streets is a complete betrayal to the American people! This is ridiculous and someone has to say it! I don’t care if they are Ukrainian Mexican African or Wookies, we don’t need anyone else here until we fix the problems we have already!!
America would rather accept and fly afganistan refugees 75 thousands but not ukrainians 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ but yet everyone keeps praying for them
My situation involves adoption fraud I was born in Arizona how did I get to California there are doctors, lawyers and judges involved in this corruption of my good name…
I am living in the streets some days cause I have a adopted family lying to me but I am sure there are more people involved I was born here in the states and still can't get no housing and I worked all my life taxes taken out of My checks and I am not the only homeless person…..
New voters inbound makes sense now
The Ukrainian Russian war was created to bring white refugees to America. If they were anything else there would be protests.
Just as in the beginning of the down fall of North America with the dirty pilgrims
REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.
Having done volunteer work in Ukraine in 2015 2016 and 2017, I can tell you Ukrainian citizens have to pay several hundred dollars at the US Embassy just to file an application for a Visa. One incident that I'm familiar with a healthy girl get a visa to come to the u.s. to get medical treatment. The girl had a master's degree in electrical engineering. She got the Visa came for treatment went back to the Ukraine within 3 weeks had to come back again in about 6 months had a Visa was stopped is Chicago O'Hare where they seize her visa sees her phone and locked her up in a room with six other females on student visas in a room with one toilet few blankets after 24 hours they were put on flights back to their countries. Ukrainian citizens can get visas to over 120 countries but not the US the immigration officials at O'Hare we're like gestapo because she told them someone was meeting her here they came out found that person interrogated them and threatened them so much for Good Ol USA when we got two million crossing the border with no covid checks this lady had a master's degree in engineering I was here only for medical why the US has been so terrible to these people denying them tourist visas
Take care of homeless americans
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!
Let the Ukrainians come! Let all refugees come! 👍😊🇺🇸
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.
Why not, our southern boarders wide open.
The US need to pause asylum applications from Central Americans, Cubans and Venezuelans and only accept legitimate refugees from Ukraine
Ukrainians 🇺🇦 are good, decent, respectful, hard working people and will contribute to American society.
Preparing ??? With the current policy there will be plenty of time to prepare unless changes are made the process which takes years
First help, the AMERICANS THAT ARE HERE ALREADY! DO You save someone house burning, WHILE your own house IS BURNING 🔥?
This war is not against Ukraine. This war is against all the people. https://youtu.be/ImD4XuNA2zw ✊✊✊
What? Refugees who aren’t uneducated, felons or drug dealers?
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.
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 😤🤦🏻♂️
West & Western media mafia has to encourage Zenasky & Ukrainians until complete destruction of Ukraine. Supply weapons & Amunations until weapon mafia satisfaction.
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
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
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
I pray for all. Thank you for such caring hearts🕊️🧡
ukraine soldier has the force to control animals https://youtube.com/shorts/wfSVPgcKhK0?feature=share
If Mexican can't come, then no for the Ukrainians
America: LOOK at what Poland has done, are doing, and hang your head in shame. The USA is downgraded again.
Ironic black and Brown refugees are treated differently.
Send them to Mexico and they can get in faster
UNLIKE. HAITI AT LEAST THEY GET TO COME
