According to Reuters, Trump is preparing to remove legal status for 240000 Ukrainian immigrants, following which they will likely be deported back to a war zone.

The US continues her slide into global irrelevance, abandoning respect for democracy, the rule of law, and human rights.

It is the duty of the countries that continue to respect democracy and human rights, including Canada, to prevent these people from being forced back into a war torn country.

Edit Still getting the hang of this, created this post without the link to Reuters. Apologies, link added.

We should.

But crucially, we don't actually have to, to let people in. We just quote the UN agencies citing the humanitarian catastrophe, and that's it.

That logic works in principle, but we've already seen the test run of this in the UK.

The mother, father and their four children - who were aged seven, eight, 17 and 18 in September - were displaced after their home was destroyed by an airstrike in the Israel-Hamas war.

They applied for entry to the UK using the Ukraine Family Scheme to join the father's brother, who has lived in the UK since 2007 and is a British citizen.

Their application was refused in May last year after the Home Office concluded the requirements of the scheme were not met.

The family of six, who have been granted anonymity, had an appeal against the decision dismissed by a first-tier immigration tribunal judge in September.

However they have been granted the right to live in the UK after upper tribunal judges allowed a further appeal, on the grounds of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights which protects the right to family life, following a hearing in January.

To save face Zionist governments have to at least try to deny the scale of the Israeli-caused humanitarian catastrophe. So as I said, I'm not hopeful.

UK is exceptionally difficult since the Balfour Declaration was their fault.
