A group of Ukrainians were escorted across the border after they flashed their passports while trying to enter the U.S. on Friday. The scene reflected a shift in the treatment of Russians and Ukrainians who enter Mexico as tourists and then try to enter the U.S. for a chance at asylum. The Russians were at the busiest U.S border crossing with Mexico for several days after the city of Tijuana urged them to leave. They sat on mats and blankets, looking at their phones, chatting and snacking, as a stream of pedestrians passed by. Five young girls are talking in a circle with stuffed animals. Some Russians were admitted to the U.S. at the San Ysidro crossing while some Ukrainians were not. Russians were denied and Ukrainians were admitted after short waits. Iirina Zolinka, a 40-year-old Russian woman who camped overnight with her family of seven after arriving in Tijuana, said it was difficult to understand how they make decisions. The U.S. began admitting all Ukrainians on humanitarian parole for one year around Tuesday, while at the same time blocking all Russians, according to the litigation and policy director for Al Otro Lado. There was no official announcement. A memo from the Homeland Security Department told border officials that Ukrainians may be exempt from sweeping asylum limits. It doesn't mention Russians but says decisions are to be made case-by-case for Ukrainians. The Department of Homeland Security recognizes that the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine has created a humanitarian crisis. Russian migrants sat on the side of a line of people waiting to cross the border into San Diego. The line was not disrupted. A Russian migrant who hadn't left the border crossing since arriving with his wife about five days earlier had no plans to leave. Within hours of arriving, the migrant who identified himself only as Mark saw three Russian migrants in the United States. After six hours, the U.S. authorities returned his passport and said only Ukrainians were being admitted. Mark said that Ukrainians and Russians are suffering because of one man. He fled after Russia invaded Ukraine. Since March 2020 the U.S. has expelled more than 1.7 million migrants without giving them a chance to apply for asylum. The Title 42 public health authority is rarely used for migrants who are difficult to expel due to financial or diplomatic reasons. To claim asylum, migrants must be in the U.S. Russian and Ukrainian asylum seekers are more likely to try to enter the United States at an official crossing in San Diego rather than crossing illegally in deserts and mountains. More than 1,500 Ukrainians entered the U.S. on the Mexican border from September through February, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, about 35 times the 45 Ukrainians who crossed during the same period a year earlier. Ukrainians who can get to the U.S. are likely to get asylum. The public health order that allows the U.S. to expel migrants without a chance at humanitarian protection barred four of the 1,553 who entered in the September-February period. The number of Russian asylum seekers entering the US from Mexico has more than doubled in the last year. The laws allow them to seek asylum. Mexican officials are wary of migrants sleeping at the border. A large migrant camp in Tijuana was dismantled last month with tents and tarps blocking a walkway to San Diego. The city distributed a letter on Wednesday asking migrants to leave their campsites for health and safety reasons and offered free shelter if they couldn't afford a hotel. The Ukrainians were among a group of people who lined up at the international checkpoint in Tijuana. From the beginning, we have to rebuild our lives. I shake when I talk about this, and there were also some Ukrainian U.S. citizens who were trying to help. The Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have not responded to requests for comment. Several Ukrainians told the news agency that they had been granted a year's stay in the U.S. A number of Ukrainians have said that they moved to the front of the line of migrants waiting to make their claims. More than two dozen Ukrainians entered the US earlier this week. Mexicans, Colombians and Russians were being turned away at the border.

The statement said that the tape that the school provided was inconsistent with the actual performance.
