In addition to helping fulfill Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/24\/joe-biden-administration-welcome-100000-refugees-ukraine\/\">promise<\/a> to allow up to 100,000 Ukrainian <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/23\/joe-biden-ukraine-refugee-russia-invasion-state-department\/\">refugees<\/a> fleeing the Russian invasion into the U.S., the program is meant to discourage these individuals from trying to enter the U.S. illegally through the southern border, administration officials said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ukraine-refugee-sponsorship-program-us-resettlement\/\">according<\/a> to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUniting for Ukraine\u201d will allow American citizens and organizations to sponsor Ukrainians wishing to come to the country. The program will give Ukrainians the opportunity to both live and work in the country for up to two years, according to the administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program will be fast. It\u2019ll be streamlined,\u201d Biden said in remarks Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Those wishing to sponsor Ukrainian refugees will need to undergo background checks and be approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian refugees applying for sponsorship will also undergo security checks and will need to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/21\/politics\/biden-administration-ukraine-refugees\/index.html\">according<\/a> to CNN.<\/p>\n<p>While the administration\u2019s latest program is designed to make it easier for Ukrainian <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/12\/poland-2-3-million-ukrainian-refugees-how-its-doing-war-russia\/\">refugees<\/a> to come to the U.S., it\u2019s also meant to try to address those heading to the border to try and enter the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The program] will ensure the United States honors its commitment to go to \u2013 the people of Ukraine and need not go through our southern border,\u201d Biden noted briefly Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 15,000 undocumented Ukrainians have been processed by U.S. immigration officials over the course of three months, a senior DHS official told reporters Thursday, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>The southern border is already <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/18\/border-patrol-henry-cuellar-federal-government-no-attention\/\">suffering<\/a> from a surge of migrants trying to cross. In March, the number of Ukrainians processed at the southern border increased by over 1,100% compared to February, CBS News noted.<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis has been compounded by the impending end of Title 42. Fox News reported Wednesday that, though Title 42 doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/01\/cdc-title-42-end-may-23-border-crisis\/\">end<\/a> until May 23, border patrol agents have already been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillFOXLA\/status\/1516773353834561542?s=20&#038;t=kPOC1tZydJtXBj1NBSxgxQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> to stop enforcing it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Agents in the field have been telling me the same, they\u2019ve been told to no longer enforce Title 42 on Northern Triangle countries even though the May 23rd repeal date is still over a month away.
