All asylum seekers of all nationalities must be treated equally.

[mikejones]

All the Haitians and Mexicans that have been at the border for years now! and you let the Ukraine citizens come right in craziness !

[mariaalmaraz]

My heart goes out to all Ukrainians and russian families trying to escape war and the death of their families. Please help them.

[gennaskee]

I guess they got their reasons for denying them entry. That border has always been an issue with illegal immigrants, therefore its not gonna be easy getting through . But on the other hand if home is Ukraine they should have made an easier choice and fly to one of the neighbouring EU countries so they can be closer to home so after all this is ended it will be easier to head back home. I hope they get through some way though.

[amazingtopics]

Yeeeaaahhh ...right....how about the ones crossing illegally and were not even tested but put on planes to go wherever in the country.

[michaelmurray]

Sure the world is a mess. Sort of like the dark skinned people trying to flee the Ukraine being denied seats on busses and trains. HELP EVERYONE.

[thelmaagondez]

I'm crying for all this family.. 😭😭 😭

[dormantmenace]

Alright more political refugees getting paid 3 to 5 grand a month of tax payers money. While citizens who payed into the system there whole life collect 1500 a month from ssi to live on.

If they allow her in, then allow all the Asylum seekers in from other nations.
Let's not play favorites now...

[vivavasquez]

what is the difference between refugees from Russia, Ukraine, and from South America, Central America or Mexico, oh yeah how can i forget the color of the skin and the way they are treated .

[feartheghostinme]

America has too many immigrants please stay in Europe sorry but America is

[mrj]

But if she was Mexican they would have separated the family

[edwinabarton]

Coming to America seems to be everyone's best option.

[AndresGonzalez-lflu]

She is a hero for helping the Ukraine 🇺🇦 family! 😊

[donaldmathis]

They understand immigration. We have a homeless problem our gov. Have not even tried to deal with. No.

[thatswhatshesaid]

My heart is crying and breaking for all the foreign exchange students Ukraine didn't extend their courtesy to. The Ukrainian people want help, but they wouldn't extend that same courtesy to others.

[RP-lefp]

I have good friends in Ukraine and will help a Ukrainian family on either side of the border.

[pedropascual]

We will have an Ukrainian town in Mexico and you are welcome.

[bigsur]

Please don’t send them to philly, New York, Memphis, LA, Milwaukee . Let them live in peace

[AlmostReady]

All current citizens of Ukraine should be allowed to seek refuge in the United States. If there is an overcrowding problem, collect some of the immigrants who obtained entry into the country ILLEGALLY and bring them back across the border
