U.S. Should Augment Welcome Efforts - for Ukrainians and Others  

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - The one-year anniversary of the Russian
invasion of Ukraine offers a stark reminder of the need for the U.S. to
offer welcome to Ukrainians and others fleeing danger.  

The Biden administration has helped support and temporarily resettle
tens of thousands of Ukrainians, including through Uniting for Ukraine

(U4U). But there's an opportunity to do more for Ukrainians and
others, including Afghans.  

"Many Ukrainians, and tens of thousands of our Afghan allies and their
families, face looming deadlines upon which their temporary protections
in the U.S. will expire," said

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"Congress and the Biden administration must step up efforts to offer
permanence to resettled Afghans and Ukrainians. No one should wonder
whether they could be forced to return to countries where danger remains
imminent, and displacement is likely to continue. 

"More broadly, the administration and Congress must continue to rebuild
a robust refugee resettlement that strengthens integration efforts and
partnerships locally, regionally and globally."  

Forum experts are available to speak about Ukrainian and Afghan
resettlement efforts. Contact Dan Gordon
