Above are the largest 2000 numbers of Ukrainian immigrants in states that have highest Ukrainian immigration! According to the 2000 U.S. census, twenty three years ago the metropolitan areas with the largest numbers of Ukrainian Americans were: New York City with 160,000; Philadelphia with 60,000; Chicago with 46,000; Detroit with 45,000; Los Angeles with 36,000; Cleveland with 26,000; Sacramento with 20,000; and Indianapolis with 19,000. In 2018, the number of Ukrainian Americans surpassed 1 million. Since the onset of the war, more than 30,000 Ukrainian refugees have found a home in Chicago, with many choosing to settle in Ukrainian Village.
The migration is part of a larger movement, as over 31 million Ukrainians have fled Ukraine since 2022, according to the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration. On April 21, 2022, President Biden announced Uniting for Ukraine, a new streamlined process to provide Ukrainian citizens who have fled the Ukrainian war. Refugee benefits for Ukrainians include the Reception and Placement Program. Matching Grant, Preferred Communities, Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance, and Refugee Support Services. They can also access mainstream benefits like TANF, SNAP, and SSI!
Although Article 3 of the 1951 Refugee Convention states that nations “shall apply the provisions of this Convention to refugees without discrimination as to race, religion or country of origin,” white, Christian, Ukrainian refugees receive preferential treatment in the US and the European Union. The standard answer to the question of why Ukrainian refugees are received differently has to do with their identity and make-up. In contrast with previous refugee groups, Ukrainians are white and Christian. The amount of the payment a Ukrainian refugee receives from the US depends on the state in which the refugee resides. In 2023, the minimum was $914 per month for a single person or $1,371 for a married couple.
Ukrainians living in the U.S. may qualify for Social Security benefits if they apply. Russia has gone beyond merely targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Russia has been taking Ukrainian children from their families or taking orphans and sending them to Russia. It is an almost "Nazi-like idea of ethnic purity that they need to be educated as Russians and that they are somehow going to be re-educated and brought back to benefit the Russian Federation. So there danger is real but no less real than that of other refugees seeking asylum like Haitians, central Americans and Southeast Asians.
Climate migration threatens to uproot millions of people worldwide, and immigration experts see the Biden administration’s treatment of Ukrainian nationals fleeing Russian violence as a model for how to better manage future global displacement following climate disasters. The urgency in the US immigration system’s response to Ukrainian migrants demonstrates what it’s capable of for mass climate displacement—and also serves as a cautionary tale about immigration inequity, according to Basma Alawee, campaign manager for We Are All America and a former refugee from Iraq.
“The welcoming, the treatment, and reception of Ukrainian refugees shows us, hopefully, a model for the future" of ALL immigrants regardless of race and religion.
The U.S. has admitted 375,000 Ukrainian refugees since the 2022 Russian invasion, far above Biden’s stated goal of 100,000. Just over two-fifths, or more than 150,000, of those who were admitted came via the Biden administration’s “Uniting for Ukraine” program, which allows Americans to sponsor Ukrainians to prove that they will be financially supported in the U.S. DHS, which administers the program, said more than 200,000 Americans came forward as sponsors.
About 150,000 Ukrainians came to the U.S. outside of the program, some through the traditional refugee program and others by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border prior to the program launching.
When winter approached and Putin turned his assault to critical infrastructure, a U.S.-led coalition provided supplies to restore emergency power and heat across the country. In addition to welcoming an initial 267,000 Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes to the United States and creating the Uniting for Ukraine program, we have provided $340 million in refugee assistance to our European partners who continue to host millions of Ukrainians, representing the largest population outflow in Europe since World War II.
WHY MIGRANT POPULATIONS ONLY STALL THE INEVITABLE
The Elephant In The Room: Unless we unilaterally across the globe focus on stopping global climate change ALL cultures that embrace the paradigm of lightening their children to "improve the race" could see their birth rates continue to drop dramatically out of their adherence to actively seeking recessive genetics, or genetic expressions that don't help species survival. Thus, those that embrace loss of eumelanin are assuring their children wont survive, its a cosmic joke! Should Woke people shed tears for them at all? Melanin is one of the most valuable substances on earth if they are to racist to understand that good riddance. Yes there are good people and bad people but understand the population that has the advantage in a globally warmed future have eumelanin and in numbers as pheomelanin recessives are less than 9 percent of the global population and by 2100 will be around 4 percent.
China will lose half its population by 2060 and Japanese may be extinct by 2100...and all is because their racism keeps them from expanding their recessive homogeneous gene pool. The system of white privilege is corrupt and it will end up erasing those without protection from sun poisoning if they don't wake up to the humanity of all men. Some point out that this is written in scripture and coming to pass in real time before our eyes.
Research and historic precedent of the Neanderthal proves increased UV and higher global temperatures will wipe out populations without the protection in their skin and organs especially the reproductive system which is vulnerable to dna damage and photolysis look it up! ALL European nations are in a low fertility rate TFR or ability to give birth in great numbers! Plus climate change will cause two thirds of Europe to be underwater and half the land mass of North America to be lost as permafrost loss causes catastrophic land mass shift if left unchecked. The choice has been made by world leaders to choose oil profits over humanity. The resultant methane release will speed up the warming of the globe and we are past the point it can be stopped the best we can do is begin building a renewable energy or plasma energy infrastructure and pray. Perhaps build homes along the paradigm of an Earthship house while we transition to electric vehicles!
