Starting April 25, Ukrainians seeking asylum at the southern border will need a financial sponsor in the U.S. as a citizen or NGO -- it's also when officials will start turning those evacuees away who don't meet the requirements.
We're seeing the first refugees from war-torn Ukraine arrive in the Bay Area. Some barely made it out alive.
The new system requires Ukrainian refugees to have a financial sponsor in the U.S. as a citizen or NGO who can house and support them. "I imagine people with relatives in the U.S. will have no difficulty with that, but of course those who don't have anyone in the U.S. this will be insurmountable obstacle for them," said Markov, noting the new program making it easier to enter the U.S. directly for Europe is much better option than the Southern Border.
"It was more lenient, but we didn't think it was sustainable," said Markov."Tijuana isn't the most secure city." For those interested in sponsoring a Ukrainian family a place to start is Welcome.US. The nonprofit has launched an initiative to sign-up 100,000 sponsors. Visit
