Thread: Joe Biden Offers Residency to 100,000 Ukrainian Migrants

Joe Biden Offers Residency to 100,000 Ukrainian Migrants



by NEIL MUNRO 24 Mar 2022

President Joe Biden is opening the nation’s doors to 100,000 Ukrainian migrants and refugees, alongside the massive inflow through other illegal and legal routes.

The New York Times reported March 23:

But President Biden, who is in Brussels for three back-to-back summits with allies, is expected to announce that the administration will accept 100,000 refugees who want to come to America.

It is not clear what legal path those refugees will take. Officials said some might be welcomed under the United States’ formal refugee program. Others may be given visas or be granted “humanitarian parole,” a form of entry often given to people fleeing violence or war in countries around the world.

A senior administration official said special efforts were being made to expand and develop new programs with a focus on welcoming Ukrainians who have family members in the United States.

NBC reported March 22:

The plan would allow vulnerable Ukrainians, specifically activists, journalists and those who are part of the LGBTQ community, to safely enter the U.S. at least temporarily. It would also expedite the reunification of Ukrainians with U.S.-based family members, the sources said.

Officials are inviting the Ukraine migrants even as they are also urging other Ukraine people to stay and fight Russia.

The 100,000 number will likely increase if the war continues and will rise again as the first 100,000 bring in more family members.

The news comes as Biden’s deputies continue to let many economic migrants across the United States’ southern border. In 2021, his deputies allowed at least 1 million economic migrants across the border. The southern inflow is accompanied by a rising inflow of visa workers and legal immigrants.

Experts predict an immigrant inflow of two million people in 2022, even as almost four million young Americans begin looking for work.

The mass migration lobby, with financial ties to billionaire George Soros, is using Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to demand the United States open its borders to refugees from across Eastern Europe.

Overall, the federal government’s policy of extracting workers, consumers, and renters from other countries tends to reduce Americans’ wages and raise their rents. This shift moves wealth from working Americans towards investors, from heartland states to the coasts, from young people to retirees.

This shift helps to explain why almost 20 million American men have been pushed out of the workforce, and are not even looking for jobs.

Biden’s decision will get him plaudits from the left, and will likely not generate much opposition from swing voters.

A March 13-14 survey of 1,000 likely voters by Rasmussen Reports reported that 45 percent of all voters “strongly support” President Joe Biden’s statement that the United States will welcome Ukrainian refugees “with open arms.”

But that welcome in principle for Ukrainian refugees loses much support when Americans are asked if the refugees should be allowed to stay in the United States, presumably to compete for jobs, homes, university slots, and other resources.

Just 25 percent of the likely voters said more than 100,000 Ukrainians should be “granted permanent residency in the United States.” Only 11 percent said 50,000 to 100,000 should be allowed to stay.

Sixteen percent said 10,000 to 50,000 should be allowed to stay, and 17 percent said less than 10,000 should be welcomed.
The most popular response was “Not sure,” which received 31 percent support. Among liberals, just 33 percent favor the permanent resettlement of more than 100,000 refugees.

Shut down our border!

What about our millions of homeless living in squalor in the streets!

Ingraham Guest Says ‘No Reason Whatsoever’ For Ukrainian Refugees To Come To U.S.

Biden Unveils More Ukraine Aid

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham and a guest pushed back on Friday against President Joe Biden’s pledge to accept 100,000 refugees fleeing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Obviously, our hearts break for the people in Ukraine. It is absolutely horrific what has happened to them,” said Ingraham, before asking guest Todd Bensman: “But is bringing them all the way to the United States in their best interest? And what about the U.S. taxpayers?”

Bensman, a senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, suggested the refugees would be better off staying in Europe where they have been offered three-year residencies with associated healthcare, rights to work and housing.
“So there’s really no reason whatsoever for Ukrainians to be coming to our border or for us to be bringing in huge swells, numbers of Ukrainians here,” he argued. “They’re doing great for a group of war refugees.”
“The issue is that they are not asylum-seekers,” Bensman added. “They have asylum, right in their own neighborhood, so it’s a little bit disingenuous.”
“Then that makes more sense. Okay,” Ingraham agreed.

More than 3.5 million refugees have now fled Russia’s invasion. More than half of Ukraine’s 7.5 million children have been displaced by the conflict.
The Biden White House, announcing its pledge on Thursday, acknowledged in a fact sheet that it expected “many Ukrainians will choose to remain in Europe close to family and their homes in Ukraine.”
But its raft of measures aimed to “help relieve some of the pressure on the European host countries that are currently shouldering so much of the responsibility,” reported CNN, citing a senior official.
