Here's a very scary fact (that is if CNN can be considered factual) Link to the article

 

We all know that 22000 russian refugees isn't that many in the whole scheme of things but the lack of vetting at the border is cause to wonder. Honestly, it is highly concerning to me and the open border will be a huge weighing point in my 2024 vote. 

 

The Article States:

In total, nearly 22,000 Russians, including the Manzurins, 
have tried entering the United States through the country’s 
southern border since October 2022, the first full month after 
the draft was announced, according to the latest US Customs 
and Border Protection data.

So, how many got in the “open border”?  And how many went through the policies with border patrol?

 

The article makes it sound like most were being allowed as humanitarian refugees.  Which they absolutely should be.

And that they came through the actual border crossing...

The border isn't open, and the amount of vetting that takes place is anything other than lacking.

 

This is a bit outdated but it gives you a decent overview of how rigorous the process is:

^^^. This.

 

It's amazing to me that so many Republicans are bought and paid for by Putin.

It is amazing that the GOP went from a reasonable, thoughtful guy like Romney in 2012 -yes who was right in the debate with Obama about Russia  - to the idiot Trump who has been a headache ever since.

Obama winning brought all the racist morons out of the woodwork.

It is amazing that when it is/was a "fair fight" that the Russian military is just so freaking pathetic.  

 

It is like what happened to them Pre-Stalin, where they were just this huge land mass with tons of people and no one was doing anything, nothing was updated or modernized.  Not until Stalin basically killed 40 million people while forcing them to build up the country.  Then, maybe after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the live singing of David Hasselhoff, they just stopped again, they just assumed that every country was "done" getting better and more advanced, while they were still buying Members Only jackets.   

 

Pretty good reasoning as to why democracy and capitalism are the best..

i am kind of hoping that the next aid package to ukraine isn't a bunch of old humvees and strykers.    i think we should send them 20,000 quadcopters and other similar drones that they are using so well.

The border is a big mess and a big problem and vetting has not been great; it's extremely hard to differentiate between legitimate refugees and asylum seekers and immigrants gaming the system.  Like every issue these days it's complicated and the solutions are far from simple. At times the influx is simply overwhelming: the U.S. would. have to commit vastly more people and resources to process immigration in a timely and humanitarian way, then quickly recoil when the surges abate. Policy and ideology are one thing, but the logistics themselves are inherently problematic.

Ukraine hit another russian ship today.....an oil tanker this time.    not sinking but engine room is flooded and the ship needs to be towed.
