More than 71,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the U.S. since March

Refugee advocates point out that most of the Ukrainians have not come via the Biden administration's Uniting for Ukraine website.

More than 71,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the U.S. since President Joe Biden announced in March that his administration would welcome up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing the country’s war with Russia, according to new data from the Department of Homeland Security.

Refugee advocates say the numbers are welcome news, but say the Biden administration is not responsible for bringing in the bulk of those who have found their way here.

The DHS data suggests that most of those who have entered the U.S. so far came on visas they held or by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and not through the Biden administration's Uniting for Ukraine web portal that allows Americans to sponsor Ukrainians they know.
