Let's be honest it's all about the color of their skin. Now before you start screaming we need to correct the vernacular. These people are being called "migrants" or "illegal aliens" when in reality they are ASYLUM SEEKERS. When the Ukrainian's came over were they called "migrants or Illegal aliens&quot ?) NO they were not. Not only were they not called what the South American asylum seekers were called they were given an OPEN DOOR POLICY. I don't disparage the Ukrainian's from seeking asylum but, the door should swing open for the other people in this world to come seek safety in America home of the free and land of the immigrants. Oh by the way before you start this we can't afford "them" BS look at this countries military budget and how about the billions we give the oil companies as subsidies. There is always monies for the affluent but if you don't have two nickels to rub together "pull yourself up by you own boot straps". So once again the only difference between the Ukrainian's and the South American people is the color of their skin.
