They can speak it [but] they can\u2019t read or write it,\u201d he added. \u201cThey have no skills that we need. They are coming here as total wards of the state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In contrast, Savage described the skills possessed by Ukrainian refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cConversely, most Ukrainians are trilingual,\u201d he noted. \u201cThey speak Ukrainian, they speak Russian, and many of them speak English,\u201d with many of those seeking asylum in the U.S. being \u201cprofessionals bringing skills that we can use in this country.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019re trilingual, they\u2019re literate, [and] they\u2019re trained professionals,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>The famed radio commentator rejected the notion that race played any role in such decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSo it\u2019s not really about race as some in the media such as <\/span><i><span>ABC News<\/span><\/i><span> are trying to make it,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cthey\u2019re dissimulating everything and mixing it all together. We all know how they work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>After Stinchfield suggested Ukrainians \u201cdon\u2019t fit the mold\u201d desired by Democrats \u2014 namely to \u201cimport poverty into the U.S.\u201d and have them rely on the \u201cdemocrat dole\u201d \u2014 Savage reiterated their potential to contribute greatly to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019re going to make it about skin color, not about language skills, not about technical skills, [and] not about professionalism \u2014 and most Ukrainians coming here come here to work,\u201d he said, adding many currently fleeing the war-torn country are engineers, scientists, teachers, and architects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey belong here,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>Elaborating on the issue, he explained that his view rested solely on feasibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cUnfortunately \u2014 and again, this is not a racial issue \u2014 this is [about] how many people can we absorb in this nation,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHow can we take people in who have no language skills and no professional skills that we need?\u201d he asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In reference to an English-speaking Ukrainian mother with local American family and friends ready to assist and support her being turned away at the border who was seen pleading for refuge while talking with reporters earlier in the week, Savage expressed outrage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNow compare that with the three [to] four million illegals coming in from Central America who have nothing but a welfare cushion to land on,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is sickening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Savage\u2019s remarks come as numerous reports surfaced of Ukrainian refugees being turned away at the southern border despite President Biden\u2019s <\/span><a

open arms.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, <\/span><span>America faces record-high levels of illegal immigration as it sees <\/span><span>a massive influx of illegals \u2014 some with ties to gangs or terror groups \u2014 from Mexico, Central America, and the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In January, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/26\/report-bidens-dhs-chief-privately-admits-illegal-immigration-is-worse-now-than-ever\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> to have admitted in private that illegal immigration in President Biden\u2019s first year in office is \u201cworse now than \u2026 ever\u201d before in American history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last year, President Biden <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/22\/analyst-democrats-suicide-watch-biden-break-illegal-immigration-records\/\"><span>set<\/span><\/a><span> new records for illegal immigration by enticing more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens to take the often deadly journey through Mexico to the nation\u2019s southern border in the hopes of being released into the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition, <\/span><span>Mexican cartels have been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2021\/11\/02\/mexican-cartels-fentanyl-operations-benefit-from-migrant-border-crisis\/\"><span>taking advantage<\/span><\/a><span> of the migrant crisis along the southwestern border to move fentanyl and methamphetamine-laced pills to all parts of the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Savage previously <\/span><a

the dangers posed by the Biden administration and the state of the nation\u2019s border earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re at the beginning of something terrible with this incompetent, sickly old man surrounded by fools who hate this country,\u201d he said in reference to the president, while describing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the \u201cgreatest national security threat right now [for] what he has done to our border.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last month, left-wing <\/span><i><span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><span>

journalists covering the Russian invasion into Ukraine of \u201cracialized analysis and language\u201d in their reporting, indicating their \u201csympathy\u201d for white victims of conflict and
