Besides offering military aid, financial assistance and imposing sanctions over Russia for waging war against Ukraine, the U.S is also allowing the Ukrainian migrants to enter U.S for taking shelter.

The US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has reported that it has already allowed around 10,000 Ukrainian migrants to reach the US in the past two months.

The reports said that many more are gathering in Mexico in an attempt to enter the United States. CPB officials said in the report that the number of Ukrainian migrants has increased significantly in the past several weeks.

Between February 1 and April 6, CBP intercepted and processed 9,926 Ukrainian migrants, but it also reported that 41,074 Ukrainian nationals legally entered the United States during the same period.

The latter group includes tourists, short-term visitors and legal permanent residents. The increasing numbers of Ukrainians seeking entry in the United States is a result of the conflict with Russia, the report cited CBP officials as saying.

However, immigration experts have criticized the Biden administration for the fact that Ukrainians fleeing their homeland seek to enter the United States via Mexico, the report said. This development is another indication that the backlogged US immigration system is dysfunctional.

They alleged that the US is not properly responding to increasing refugee crises despite the Biden administration announcing earlier it would allow 100,000 Ukrainian refugees into the United States, the report added.

Ukrainians are often permitted to enter the United States after being processed and given a year of humanitarian parole to live and work legally in the United States, according to the report.

After the war broke out, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian have fled the country seeking safer places on foreign soil. The United Nations has called the war one of the biggest humanitarian crises in history.
