The U.S. will accept 100,000 Ukrainian refugees and others fleeing Russia’s invasion and provide more than $1 billion in new humanitarian assistance, the White House announced Thursday.

The funding will pay for food, shelter, clean water, medical supplies and other forms of assistance.

Although many Ukrainian refugees prefer to remain in Europe where they will be closer to family and their homes, the Biden administration is working to expand and develop new programs with a focus on welcoming Ukrainians who have family members in the U.S.

[princessloca]

That's very nice of you..but what about the war in Chicago...or the homeless people they are becoming more hostile ?

[pretentiousprogressive]

Yes keep spending our money. When it runs out print more.

[ellas]

It would be nice if we put these efforts to improving the US but that's not what biden's into

[Kingj-lpbi]

So who suppose to take of the 100, 000 refugees it's like 50 million homeless people here already let's not forget the open borders this guy gave Mexicans

[jC-rvrr]

Is there a link to sign up for volunteers for hosting families?

[doublem]

Give a bit to those here who need humanity aid, just a thought

[rancherbabe]

Oh good bring in more people, we eon’t have enough tent cities. How about helping Americans who have lost their homes & can’t feed their children.

[TownersMoments]

Excuse me but that’s our tax money to be used here sorry not to be rude but you can’t even take care of your own people with their tax money how are going to give it away?

[Pinkielover]

Never mind the homeless people in our country that need help... me included.. I can't even collect food stamps ...would love to rent a PO Box but you can't , you need two forms of ID, A drivers license which I have The second form of ID is a current residential address a most recent piece of mail that you got.. Which is kind of ridiculous all you should need is your six months worth of rent for the PO Box which I can do and a Internet address which I have .. I have Internet access at the public library I can come pick up my mail anytime...Lawmakers need to change this because it looks good on you job application if you have a residential address or even a PO Box they can use to get your tax forms sent to you.. Simple things like that make it impossible for homeless people to get out of anything.. And you can forget about getting any health help About a week ago I literally went Double vision in one eye..Out of the blue its still happening..Can't go to the doctor nor can i get a tooth pulled...I guess I'll have to learn to deal with the double vision and broken tooth Could be the cause of the infection...Yes America is that bad ..Worse than you think never thought this would happen to me even though I have a few dollars saved it's gonna run out eventually.. I'm even so desperate as to make a YouTube channel where I have one or two videos up ..Scribe to my channel if i get big enough I'll put more

[endgame]

We cant even save our own 🤦🏾‍♂️
As long as they have white skin and light eyes....

[mrpoetic]

[ToddWyattRebelSon]
