Steve Chapman writes: The Biden administration has admitted more than 100,000 refugees from Ukraine without a whisper of protest. But Americans have a different attitude toward migrants from Mexico, Central America and South America.
Migrants wait along a border wall on Aug. 23, 2022, after crossing from Mexico near Yuma, Arizona.
A majority of Americans regard the stream of new arrivals as an “invasion” — a word normally reserved for military campaigns. Instead of equating these migrants with Ukrainian refugees, they somehow equate them with the Russian army.But there is no evidence that those showing up at the border asking for asylum harbor hostile intent. Just the opposite: They come here because they think the U.S. offers a better life than what they had back home. They don’t want to harm us. They want to join us.
In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed “to the people of Cuba that those who seek refuge here in America will find it.” After the Vietnam War, the U.S. welcomed more than a million people from Southeast Asia. They’re not the only foreigners who, given the choice, choose America. Since the Chinese government liberalized its emigration policies in the 1980s, the number of Chinese living here has risen nearly sevenfold. The Indian immigrant population has grown even faster.
