Ukraine refugees shape US border policies.

The Biden administration's policy of admitting up to 100,000 Ukrainians for two years, if they applied online, had a financial backer and entered through an airport, has become the centerpiece of a broader border policy rolling out in earnest as coronavirus pandemic-related restrictions that had allowed U.S. officials to quickly turn away migrants crossing illegally come to an end. The policies have been criticized by the left as too much like former President Donald Trump’s. Others wonder whether anything Biden does will stop the flow of migrants along the southern border, and whether the new policies can survive expected legal challenges and a lack of resources.
