Why is Biden Undercutting Ukrainian Refugees?
American Thinker.com ^ | April 26, 2022 | John Klar

Posted on 04/26/2022 3:15:24 AM PDT by Kaslin

One thing must be conceded to Joe Biden: he is consistent in messing things up. The recent “fast-tracking” of Ukrainian refugees is the latest Orwellian boondoggle that accomplishes the opposite of its stated goals -- just like Build Back Better, transgender transformation of the nation, racial agitation, and monetizing debt to “help” the economy. This reverse-Midas touch has now been inflicted on suffering Ukrainian refugees, who are being stopped from finding safety in the false pretense of “helping” them.

In march, the Biden administration announced the United States would accept 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. There were no stated conditions for entry, and many Americans with ties to the Ukraine undertook to begin evacuating threatened families. But then President Biden halted that progress, last week announcing a new “Uniting for Ukraine” policy with stringent restrictions:

“This program will be fast, it will be streamlined, and it will ensure the United States honors its commitment to the people of Ukraine, and that they need not go through our southern border,” Biden said Thursday at the White House.

Fast? The program halts Ukrainians entering America legally through Mexico, and imposes requirements that each entrant be hosted by Americans guaranteeing to support them financially, with a host of other restrictions. These requirements are more restrictive than existing immigration restraints on all legal immigrants:

...a web portal through which U.S.-based individuals and groups can apply to become sponsors and upload documents…. [Entrants] must also undergo vaccinations, biometric screening and background checks before being granted admission.

Imagine implementing those restrictions at the border with Mexico, to screen gang members fleeing anarchy equally to young children being bombed in war? resident Biden’s supposed initiative undermines efforts to rescue Ukrainians, despite the deceptive “Uniting for Ukraine” language.

If they can do this for Ukrainian “refugees” then they could be doing it for Hispanic “refugees” as well.

My assumption is that Ukrainians would not be the kind of American citizen the Democrats/globalists would like to replace/displace American citizens with.

They’re far too white and far too law abiding and far too educated.

It’s a little more complicated than that. The Biden administration and their like-minded partners in Europe recognize that they can’t maintain two views of Ukraine that are inherently contradictory. They can’t be holding up Ukraine as a potential EU partner and NATO member, while at the same time implicitly admitting the place is a sh!t-hole that hundreds of thousands of its citizens have every reason to abandon.

Whatever the situation is, Biden will be on the wrong side.

I can’t agree with anything you said, other than it may be a little more complicated than what I stated.

NATO is off the table for Ukraine:

In nod to Russia, Ukraine says no longer insisting on NATO membership (March 3, 2022)
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220308-in-nod-to-russia-ukraine-says-no-longer-insisting-on-nato-membership

The EU is welcoming the refugees even as they say they’re fast-tracking Ukraine’s candidacy. The deputy head of Zelenskiy’s office said Monday April 18th that he expected Ukraine would be granted candidate status in June during a scheduled meeting of the European Council, which comprises leaders of EU member states:

EU Steps up Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine, Expects Millions More Refugees (March 8, 2022)
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-08/two-million-ukraine-refugees-reach-eu-millions-more-to-come-official

Zelenskiy: Ukraine could become EU candidate within weeks
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-completes-questionnaire-eu-membership-official-2022-04-18/

These are true refugees, not politically incentivized thugs and human/drug traffickers from 3rd world countries. 90% of Ukrainian refugees are women and children, albeit mostly White, educated and Orthodox Christian.

The Biden administration isn’t even letting them in as “refugees” they’re limiting their status to “Humanitarian Parolees” who must have a financial sponsor in the United States, meet vaccination requirements and pass rigorous screenings and security checks and a max 2 years and zero path to permanent citizenship for those who cannot return.

Peculiar (not) we didn’t see any of this for 10’s of thousands of unvetted Afghanistan evacuees, millions of illegal border crossers on the Mexico/US border.

Because a good majority would eventually become Republican voters.

1. There is nothing “off the table” when it comes to Ukraine and NATO. Even if Ukraine publicly announces today that will not join NATO, there is nothing that says this will remain their policy indefinitely.

2. Ukrainian refugees have to FLY to North America to get here. These aren’t Third World peasants from Latin America were talking about. It’s likely that many of them are families of Ukraine’s professional class. That country will have no future if they are allowed to stay here.

3. See previous point. You can be sure that Zelensky has been adamant in his dealings with the U.S. and European leaders on this point. There’s no reason to request weapons from them to fight off the Russians if he’s going to be left with a country that functions like West Virginia for the next 200 years.

I don’t know why anyone would assume that.

“Ukrainian refugees have to FLY to North America to get here.”

Yes, they’re flying into Mexico mostly, and it takes a week or so of traveling.

“These aren’t Third World peasants from Latin America were talking about.”

Exactly why one would think our policy should be to accept these refugees, rather than those aforementioned politically incentivized thugs and human/drug traffickers from 3rd world countries.

“It’s likely that many of them are families of Ukraine’s professional class. That country will have no future if they are allowed to stay here.”

Most Ukrainians (70+%) have a secondary or higher STEM education.

“There’s no reason to request weapons from them to fight off the Russians if he’s going to be left with a country that functions like West Virginia for the next 200 years.”

The intention of this war (Zelensky of all people knows it), is not a Ukraine victory, it is global dominance...the “Great Reset.” They can’t pull if off with nations claiming their own sovereignty. But they can sure use that as an excuse to grab more power. One villain or the other will dominate all of the world.

If I were a Ukrainian looking for a place to escape to and I were ignorant of the political winds, I would also choose the USA.

My concern, because I am not ignorant of the political winds nor history, is that Russia will not go down without taking the USA with them. China, the EU, UK, Australia, the Middle East are quite content with that scenario. In fact, they all worked together toward that scenario, doing their part stealing the 2020 election for it. It was a little late, though. They thought all this would occur in the Hillary Clinton admin and they had it all set up for her —underestimated Trump’s voter turnout. They didn’t make that same error twice though, eh.

Someone mentioned in an article the other day that Obama was jealous of Biden. At first I thought that ridiculous and impossible. On second thought though, he probably is jealous that he’s not at the helm at the moment of our nation’s reduction and subjugation to a one-world government.

Could it actually be that our politicians and intelligence agencies have already sold our sovereignty? Could it be that we will be too weak/damaged to defend it against Russia’s aggression/attack, once they make their move?

This proves the point that TalyBiden intends to fight to the last Ukrainian to cover the tracks of the Washington district of cartels crimes in Ukraine.

This latest kick in the Ukrainians nuts is to make sure no Ukrainian with any knowledge of the laundromat activities of the district of cartels political crime orgs makes it into the usa and spill any beans.

Hear that Ukraine ?

Joe is PUNKING you AGAIN !

Illegeal aliens. , come on in, no vaccine or Covid test required ! ,here’s some money , a cell phone, an ngo/.gov chauffeur and 4 star hotel.

Terrorists of the world , come on in, no vaccine or Covid test required, here’s some money , a cell phone, an ngo/.gov chauffeur and 4 star hotel.

Ukrainian, stop. Take Covid test and vaccine shot, fill out these forms, stay in Ukraine and wait for our call. Oh, and defeat that nuke armed world power for us, we know you can if you try really hard.

Bastage is plain evil sock puppet for the plain evil Washington District of cartels political organized crime outfits that have overthrown our Republic.

There is a large Ukrainian immigrant enclave in Vancouver, WA, across the river from the People's Republic of Portland. Delis, groceries, a credit union, with Cyrillic signs.

They turned a solid Blue area into purple, with a RINO congress "person," Herrera-Butler. Seems, having grown up living under the result of Democrat policies, they prefer freedom.

Lately, I've seen Ukrainian militia units exercising in the forests. They tend toward AK clones, and Soviet camo. Who knew legal immigrants could be preppers?

I can well understand why O'biden's handlers don't want new anti-Democrat voters.
