Ukrainian refugees shunned by USA.

[Chelseaboy]

100,000 Ukrainian refugees stuck at the Southern Border in Tents after not being allowed into the USA and turned away by the Customs and Border Patrol.


This comes after the USA had said they would welcome up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees.

You have to show reference for this.

Just the opposite of what I have seen on the news.

Some are complaining we are letting in Ukrainians while turns back those from Central America.

The reference was CNN last night.


They were also talking about a poll that said 55% of Americans were not happy with Biden's actions in the war and that more weapons need to be sent to Ukraine.

If it is from CNN, it doesn't seem entirely accurate.

1st, there have been no reports of 100,000 Ukrainians at the border.  Second, most other news outlets report Ukrainians given priority processing over others.   

Here is a recent article from the Huston Chronicle.

http://www.chron.com/news/article/Ukrainian-refugees-find-route-to-US-goes-through-17063155.php

It states about 500+ Ukrainians arrive to the border daily and US is trying to process them in as quickly as possible, but are lagging behind.   Refugees are waiting 2-4 days at temporary shelters.   Various volunteer groups help keep them safe and navigate the required paperwork.

That's a big difference to what CNN were reporting last night.


How reliable is CNN reporting normally ?


It's the only option for a USA news channel here in the UK unless one wants to pay extra to receive NBC.

CNN = Communist News Network

They aren't a news organization, they are leftist political activist organization.
They believe they are superior human beings and that it's their calling to tell
the great unwashed masses how to think. NBC is not better, PMSNBC is worse.

Customs and Border Patrol.

The USA doesn't turn away drug dealers or child prostitution rings,
now we have start turning away Ukrainians? I think you've been
deceived by some fake news.

Regarding leftist political activist organizations we have the same problem with the BBC...and Sky News is rapidly going that way too.


I normally watch GB News,but as the name suggests their coverage of the situation in Ukraine is a bit scant.

It certainly looks like it.


CNN even had a bod on complaining about the slow processing of the applications from the 100,000 Ukrainians leading to them suffering in misery in Mexico.

Here's the latest CNN report I could find.  They aren't saying refugees are being refused, just that it is taking a long time.
