Summary
The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.
The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.
Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.
0.7M more people who the government needs to handle logistics and civil infrastructure for. It’s about trying to exhaust the war resources in ways that don’t directly influence the war in Ukraine’s favor.
And 0.7m people working. Ukraine is suffering a labor shortage because of the war. Unless these are old or infirm people, people tend to produce more with there labor then they take out in government services. This is one of the reasons immigration is a good thing and why this is a bad move for the u.s.
It’s a lot to assume these people would make it back to Ukraine. This move isn’t about directly benefiting Russia. It’s meant to hurt Ukrainians and anyone who supports them for daring to defy Russia.
