U.S. authorities along the Mexican border have been instructed to consider exempting Ukrainians from a pandemic-related restriction so they can enter the country to seek asylum, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo obtained by CBS News.
During a call with reporters on Thursday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the policy guidance is designed to remind Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers that their power to exempt certain migrants from Title 42, an expulsion policy first implemented under the Trump administration, applies to Ukrainians seeking U.S. refuge.

Let them seek asylum in Mexico.
Or Canada, depending on which border.
America can’t take any more newcomers. We have too many already.
These would be future republican voters so of course the Biden admin doesn’t want those people in the US
Yep. Slavic immigrants are largely Conservative.
More proof that covid restrictions are just bullcrap.
How about for every Ukranian 10 current illegals have to leave?
They should pass themselves off as Mexicans or S. Americans, and they’d be let in, no questions asked and no Covid tests.
I’m to the point I think the biggest mistake we made was
buying into this being a pandemic.
After watching our government use that excuse to abuse the
American public for years on end, it’s clear we really
screwed up by listening to them in the first place.
Our institutions lied to us. Normal people with half a
brain who could see through their nonsense, were vilified,
fired, caused great financial harm...
Nah, the next time they are going to have to come up with
a lot better excuses to do things than they did this time.
If we’ve learned anything at all.
I do believe they’ll try it though. And all the usual
players who conspired this time, will try it again.
Can they bring a Javelin or two?
What pandemic restrictions, most didn’t even get their test.
Rejecting them is a mistake my country almost made.
The FSU immigrants really helped us reject socialism.
They’ve had enough.
Of course, because they are conservative and white, Biden will shoot them at the border.
What pandemic restrictions?
How many come tfrom Mexico with no restrictions?
And we will have all mail ballots again...Good planning!!
A big no to all able bodied male Ukrainian cowards.
We should have identified high risk groups and focused on containment efforts with them. No reason to close schools in the first place. Keep seniors at nursing homes safe? Absolutely.
I agree. The elderly in a nursing home are pretty vulnerable.
Kids just didn’t seem to be a problem at all. I mean a few
died, but in the overall picture it was like zero for all
intents and purposes.
As for the people who were at risk, I almost wonder if you
can keep them safe. I’ve been out there for two years, and
I haven’t come down with anything. I know I had to have been
in mixed company with people who had it.
I generally don’t catch the flu. Maybe I’m just lucky, but
over the last twenty years I probably haven’t had the flu
more than once, if that.
Even though I had access to the vaccines each year, I only
took advantage of it once or maybe twice. I worked in a
hospital, and some of my friends were worried. I got the
vaccine for them.
What is this US border they speak of?
Oh noes! White Christians at the border! 😮
