DHS: Most Ukrainian Refugees Aren't Using Biden's Programs to Enter US

More than 71,000 people from Ukraine have arrived in the United States since President Joe Biden's announcement in March that the United States would welcome as many as 100,000 into the country, but most of the refugees did not come in through the programs the White House put in place.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, most of the Ukrainians who came into the United States entered the country by using visas they had before the war with Russia started, or by crossing into the country over the U.S.-Mexico border, not the Biden Administration's Uniting for Ukraine web portal set up to allow Americans to sponsor Ukrainians, reports NBC News.

After the web portal launched, however, Ukrainians trying to cross the southern border were largely stopped because of Title 42, the COVID public health order put in place by former President Donald Trump.
