As Biden lays out the red carpet for financial refugees from all of Mexico,Central and South America he is dragging his feet with Ukraine war refugees. Maybe because they would vote Republican if they became citizens or maybe because they aren’t “people of color”? Maybe both?


“Polish President Andrzej Duda has called on the US to better support the escalating refugee crisis caused by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the White House is yet to commit to accepting Ukrainians into the US.”


When pressed around whether the US would “make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees,” the vice president laughed nervously and refused to commit either way, brushing off the question with: “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”




“The same day, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that the “best way” the US can help the refugee crisis is by funding the neighbouring countries taking in Ukrainian evacuees”

Ukrainians are actual refugees and not to be confused with the opportunity seekers from Central America.

But we're seeing Democrats true stripes: they have an agenda when it comes to illegal aliens.

Ukrainians will eventually return home - not part of the Donkey Party's plan to create voters.

There is currently a large Ukraine population in America and many of these refugees have family here. I think Biden fears they will end up as US citizens and European war refugees tend to vote republican. Can’t have that.

Read the OP. Biden is doing nothing to facilitate the immigration of Ukraine war refugees.

Exactly my read as well.

Further, the Democrats might be very much surprised that the 'opportunity seekers' from Central America tend appear to be more conservative than the Dem's would like:

Republicans around the country continue to exploit the fear that the left is attacking religious values and wants to replace traditional white American culture with nonwhite multiculturalism. But similar grievances have resonated in the Rio Grande Valley in a profound way, driving the Republican Party’s successes in a Democratic stronghold where Hispanics make up more than 90 percent of the population.​

Dismissal of real world problems, confusion of between illegal aliens and refugees or asylum seekers, blunt hint at great replacement theory.

White supremacist much?

Republicans all for white refugees and completely against dark skinned refugees, no matter the circumstances.

Got something against Latin Americans and people of color?

Thank God the DP community is so small. If the country at large could see the absurd threads and follow on posts we have here now they would likely all upchuck at once.

Is there a conspiracy theory TOO stupid for these folks to advance? Rhetorical question of course.


(For Trump supporters, "rhetorical question" means one asked to make a point, or for effect- not to get an answer).

Of course being white won't help their refugee status. We're only accepting applications from indigent colored folk

You need to give Bozo Biden a month's warning on stuff. That's how long it takes for him to make a decision.

Race card has been pinned and sticky'd. Hopefully everyone can see it and credit you.

Nope - that's your party's schtick. Very, very few refugees are trying to cross the southern border, despite the code words migrants have been coached to say once apprehended. I have always supported legal immigration, and I always will. I encourage opportunity seekers to follow the procedures and policies for immigrating to our country.

What you support is chaos.

As for refugees, I support the US taking in it's fair and equal share with the rest of the civilized world. We're not here to take them all as other countries shrug and continue to focus on their own domestic agendas.

What you support is something altogether different.

Biden doesn't want to upset Putin. Helping refugees might piss Putin off and start a nuclear war. That's the kind of thinking that seems to be coming out of the White House.
