Border numbers jump in March, with striking increase in Ukrainians

U.S. immigration officials detained more than 5,000 migrants from Ukraine at the nation’s land, sea and air borders in March, with a significant increase in those seeking refuge at the U.S.-Mexico boundary, adding to the record influx of newcomers from Latin America and the Caribbean this year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures released Monday.

The tally — up from fewer than 1,150 the month before — marks the first official accounting of Ukrainians seeking refuge at the ports and borders since Russia’s invasion began Feb. 24.

Many, if not most, Ukrainians have been released into the United States via humanitarian parole, which allows people to stay temporarily, and they continued arriving this month, though updated figures were not available. The Biden administration responded to the influx Monday by announcing that it would extend the eligibility of Ukrainians for “temporary protected status,” allowing them to stay here for 18 months and apply for work permits, if they arrived by April 11.

I give us about another six-seven years at this rate.

Land mines. one million landmines.

Or better yet — spritz the Mexican side of the border with nuclear waste. Like MacArthur wanted to do in Korea.

Rather have Ukrainians than Central/South Americans, Africans, Muslims or Chinese, but..........where are they getting the money for the flights to Mexico?

Great article on Conservative Treehouse about Twitter and the rest and how it’s impossible for them to have done and do what they’re doing without being completely in bed with the Feds...

Very interesting read.

Is CornPop feeding these Ukrainian refugees with our money for the flights?

Better yet...tell AMLO to stop it. He doesn’t, drop a 500lb JDAM on his house.

When the next guy/gal gets in there, tell them to stop it. NO. Another JDAM.

And the biggest question is still “how did the Ukrainians get to Mexico?”

And why? Why would they go there instead of flying straight to the US, or to England, or to some other country for asylum? It makes no sense ... none at all ... to go to Mexico and then flood the southern border.

How many of our new “immigrants” (as the Marxist Democrats like to call them) are going to use the loophole claiming to be “Ukrainian” so they will be allowed in the door, and then NEVER EVER SHOW UP FOR THEIR court dates?!?

This is going to be the biggest crap show until someone actually holds the US government to account for failing to enforce the laws WE THE PEOPLE have demanded to be passed and ENFORCED!!

Since refugees are going to a number of countries, perhaps flights to Mexico or Latin America are easier to get on than flights to the US or England. Also, perhaps they have relatives already in the US. Not everything has to be a plot. Also, if they can pay for a plane fare, they probably are smart or educated enough to support themselves quickly with an 18 month permission to work for a living.

A few MG 42’s set up at strategic points on the border and hose few of these ''migrant'' columns the rest will get the message and not try to come across.
