russia is about to use a humanitarian crisis it CAUSED as a PR stunt. Vital to remember that people are still in Oleshky because russia held them hostage as human shields. Putin will try rewrite history & pretend he cares about saving lives. But russia caused this.

I believe we can have a secure border and a clear pathway to citizenship and we can do it without a rogue, illegal agency like ICE.
