The move provides relief to Ukrainians whose one-year authorization to stay in the U.S. was set to expire soon.
On February 24th, Ukraine marked one year since Russia launched its invasion. The United States and other allies rallied behind Ukraine, sending billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid. LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke with Kurt Volker, Former U.S. ambassador to NATO, and Hal Kempfer, retired Marine Corp. Intelligence Officer about the war in Ukraine and how long the conflict could last.
Ukrainians who came in under the Uniting for Ukraine program generally got two years of humanitarian "parole" in the U.S. whereas those who arrived before them generally got permission to stay only for one year. Resettlement agencies have estimated that there are about 20,000 Ukrainians in the one-year group.The U.S. government used a program called humanitarian parole to admit them into the country.
Now numerous groups are seeing their permission to remain in the United States expiring in coming months, including tens of thousands of Afghans. Ukraine and immigration have both been hot button topics among Republican politicians who aren’t enthusiastic about continuing aid to the war and have accused the Biden administration of not doing enough to control migration at the southern border. But even in that toxic political environment, there’s been little movement to force Ukrainians to return home, reflecting widespread acceptance that it’s still too dangerous for them there.
