That’s right. Let’s send them back into a war zone. Who’s next? El Salvadoreans?

That said, I do think that every Ukrainian should be offered asylum in the United States -- they are one of the few groups who can truly be called war refugees. I suspect that most Ukrainians will never leave the homeland they have fought so bravely in defense of, but as a gesture of goodwill it would be very powerful.

Most of the Ukrainians do not meet asylum criteria. The problem is that a lot of Ukrainians abused the program (U4U), a lot of people who came here was not even eligible for the program (like they were not in Ukraine on the day the war started, some of them lived in Europe for several years and wasn't even in Ukraine). A lot of fake boyfriends who are not Ukrainians came with Ukrainian girlfriends only by paying them a flight ticket price. A lot of Ukrainians paid several thousands of dollars to fake sponsors and now it popped up in the system that the same person sponsored dozens and sometimes even hundreds of Ukrainian. A lot of Ukrainians came under this program from the areas of Ukraine that were never affected by the war, just to have a free ride to US and now traveling across US and posting their travel blogs. Now instead of weeding out all the false refugees, the government might just shot down the program completely.

There are many legal ways to come and to stay in US. Consult with immigration attorney to determine what are their options to stay here.

Find them a "billionaire" to marry, have the "billionaire" win the white house and then chain migrate the rest of the family accordingly.

Can’t you sponsor a family? That, of course, means taking some responsibility for them but that’s probably the best you can do.

El Salvador has seen a significant decrease in its murder rate, dropping to a record low of 1.9 homicides per 100,000 people in 2024, which is a 98% reduction since 2015. The murder rate in DC is 30!

They voted in a man who calls himself the world’s coolest dictator and he built a mega prison and rounded up all gang members.

The only people who are afraid of going back to El Salvador know are gang members.

So not sure why anyone from there should have TPS.

That's great news! Maybe we can learn from them and help replicate this in other countries.

I think that's the long-term plan for the US. El Salvador's "world's coolest dictator" (he calls himself that) has managed to get a national state of emergency declared and continuously renewed, suspending basic civil rights and incarcerating thousands without due process. I'm sure MAGA would love that.

Not sure why anyone would throw shade on Nayib Bukele, he's a Latino leader beloved by his people and he's unquestionably turned El Salvador from one of the most dangerous countries on the planet, where violent crime and corruption ran rampant, to one of the safest countries on the planet. The people of El Salvador love and support him overwhelmingly.

America should be more humble when it comes to our Latin American neighbors. We can learn something from El Salvador if we stop pretending we always have all the answers.

No doubt Bukele is very popular in El Salvador ad elsewhere in Latin America. Please list the specific things that we can learn from him that would make sense to implement in the US?

Many will stay in Ukraine. But for those war refugees who want to come to the United States, we should embrace these freedom-loving people with open arms and move them to the absolute front of the line.
