We can certainly help the Ukrainians who are fleeing a NUCLEAR SUPERPOWER But Haitians, Central Americans, Mexicans, Chinese and almost everyone else has to get in line and wait outside the US for their turn.

Fundamentally, Humanity needs a refugee and immigration process. We know that refugees want to go to nations that have freedom and democracy and human rights. Most people do not want to go to nations that have brutal tyrants and cruel autocracies. Over the come decades these will be big big big matters on the table globally.

Illegal immigration is illegal. If someone emigrates to the US, they need to respect the immigration laws that the USA has in place.

If they do not respect our laws, they do not belong in our country. They should they should fix country they came from.

They will be a big asset to America. They have a strong sense of caring for others and community and we need to bring that back, as we have lost it over the years. I wrote President Biden and said that a program should be developed to train and license the ones as CNAs who don't already have a field. The US system right now of aids for the elderly and disabled is horrible; bad work ethic, irresponsible, uncaring, self-centered workers. I would personally love to have a Ukrainian home care aid, as I have had alot of American ones who have not worked out because they didn't appreciate their job and were often disrespectful.

interesting how the first world rallied for the White BUT look the other way when it involves the brown and black. a prayer for all who are suffering in the world.

Vladimir Putin should not be allowed to remain on this planet.
Cancel him.

[bullrider]

I'm glad to hear that President Biden said we are going to help UKRAINE people, then sad at the same time. They lost children mom's father's and old people and homes fighting for Freedom and DEMOCRACY. And for them coming here and see these thugs trying to destroy what there dying for, just sad.

[unitabob]

We so need Immigrants to come to America.

[Webstral]

We should bring in a million Ukrainians and make the maximum effort to settle them while Ukraine is being rebuilt. A large percentage of refugees never go home. Rather than have them live unproductively in camps in Eastern Europe, we should integrate them into US society promptly. They can send remittances to Ukraine to speed the reconstruction process. Ultimately, some of them will go home, and some of them will stay here to make the US that much stronger.

The far right isnt aganst immigration, just immigration of other colors.

WHATABOUT THE HATIANS, AFRICANS AND SOUTH AMERICANS,

Huh, I’m getting a weird deja vu about Cubans escaping to Florida.

Good interview and sorry for your loss Justin.
Glory to Ukraine 💙 🇺🇦 💛

LEGAL immigrant here: LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!

[lynnrunningdeerB]

*If we can't let our brothers and sisters who also had their land stolen come home then no Ukrainians either🤬.*

[AMays-mtgc]
