    Which is why we have legal terms with lawyers, judges, etc to determine where people fit.

    Then they would be refugees. He specifically said migrants. Also to point out that many refugees are only granted temporary access and eventually need to return home. If the war in Ukraine ended tomorrow a lot of people would go home. Most immigrants are trying to move to the US permanently.

    Even if most are trying for a permanent move our immigration system is woefully inept.

    And our policies are a huge part of the problem in Central and South America .

    You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, the Republicans are currently working over time to reverse that trend. In another year or two (or three) I expect that the top 15 countries sending immigrants to America will be predominantly “white” countries. There is no other way white people are going to get their majority back……..

    WASHINGTON – The U.S. included 100 killer drones in a colossal weapons package for Ukraine that President Joe Biden approved earlier this month, U.S. officials confirmed Wednesday.

    Celeste Wallander, assistant secretary of Defense for international security affairs, told lawmakers that Kyiv asked for the weapons, which are dubbed “kamikaze drones,” as it fights off a Russian invasion.


    “We have committed 100 Switchblade tactical unmanned aerial systems to be delivered in the most recent package of presidential drawdown,” Wallander said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.

    The things I read on this forum give the farthest fringes of Twitter a run for their money.

    Seems like “Slapgate” kind of killed the fervor over the war?

    And Russian state TV talking about how much they want Trump back.
    Great campaign slogan. Put it on a MAGA bumper sticker. "Putin's choice, and mine too! Trump 2024"

    There are a lot of Russian tankers out there that are also turning off their transponders and disappearing from tracking systems, in the hope to avoid sanctions and sell their products on the black market..

    Kremlin says Ukraine strike on Russian fuel depot creates awkward backdrop for talks

    April 1 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that a Ukrainian strike against a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod did not create comfortable conditions to continue peace talks with Kyiv.

    Russia accused Ukraine on Friday of attacking the depot but Ukrainian authorities did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said authorities were doing everything to reorganise the fuel supply chain and avoid disruption of energy supplies in Belgorod.


    A Russian official said earlier on Friday that two Ukrainian military helicopters struck a fuel depot in Belgorod, making the first accusation of a Ukrainian air strike on Russian soil since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in late February.
