More than 20,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled after Russia's invasion reached the United States's southern border in April, an indication of the extreme measures many have taken to escape.
Across the U.S.-Mexico border, a total of 32,288 noncitizens sought admission at the ports of entry in April but lacked documents to enter. Of that number, exactly 20,059 were from Ukraine, according to a report released Tuesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University in New York. Nearly all of the Ukrainians were allowed to enter the U.S.
Nearly all of them are flying to Tijuana, Mexico, which has a major airport, and then traveling just a few miles to San Diego. The increase in Ukrainian arrivals is a development immigration analysts predicted in conversations with the Washington Examiner at the onset of the war. The 20,059 figure at the southern border is a significant increase from 3,155 in March and 184 in February, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. The Ukraine-Russia conflict commenced Feb. 24 when Russian leader Vladimir Putin's military invaded the former Soviet republic.Across all nationalities of people who showed up at the ports seeking admission nationwide, not just the southern border, Ukrainians made up roughly 30%, followed by Mexicans at 9% and Filipinos at 8%.
