KEY TAKEAWAYS
Just as the Biden administration did with Afghan evacuees, it is wildly abusing the humanitarian parole system for Ukrainians.
These provisions do not only circumvent U.S. law and set dangerous precedents, they are also not the best solution for those they purport to help.
Strain on the system and a dismantling of the laws in place is exactly what Biden and his administration’s open-borders activists want.
President Joe Biden recently sent an emergency supplemental funding request to Congress for $33 billion in aid to Ukraine. However, the administration used the opportunity to sneak in unlawful immigration benefits for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian, Afghan, and Russian immigrants—paid for by the American people and at the expense of lawful applicants who have been waiting years to properly immigrate to the U.S.
