Ukrainian immigration to America
March 1, 2022
During the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the tension mounting on the Ukrainian-Russian border, countries to the west of Ukraine began preparing for a potential migrant crisis. By Thursday morning, hundreds of Ukrainians began arriving in neighboring countries in Central Europe. U.S. officials have estimated that around one to five million people could flee Ukraine, many going to Poland. The history of Ukrainian immigration to the U.S. shows that the U.S. should expect to see a rise in Ukrainian immigrants, not just in the coming days and weeks, but stretching into years. Immigration organizations and advocates are calling on Biden to provide immediate protection for Ukrainians already in the U.S., such as Temporary Protected Status, Deferred Enforced Departure, and Special Student Relief.
