US shouldn't let russians come in, they all running from Russia because of economics, being in US, they all still support Russia, Putin and war in Ukraine. They hate Ukrainians even in US, Europe.

The European union not want Ukrainian refugees The painful contrast exposes the double standards in the EU’s approach to refugees. With Europe’s grim history of restrictive asylum policies, it is wishful thinking that the warm welcome to Ukrainians will extend to all asylum-seekers. The EU solidarity to displaced Ukrainians illustrates the deeply politicized – and often discriminatory – nature of providing refugee protection.
The waves of women and children leaving Ukraine prompted a surge of humanitarian action but they are also a chilling reality check of Europe’s double standards

Mexico does require a Visa except for Canadians and Mexico within the border area. You do need a tourist visa beyond that.

Refugees from Russia and Ukraine can also cross the Canada-US border. The best points of entry to Canada are flights to Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. These Canadian Cities are within 3 hours drive or less to great American cities like Detroit, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Chicago. You can rent a car in Canada and drive to the United States. Make sure you bring you passport at the Canada-US border.

Mexico is a much safer country for Russians than Europe or even the U.S., there is no Russophobia the authorities won't accuse them of being spies. I have Russian acquaintances that live in Mexico and they love the country. There are a lot of Russian bloggers that live or they have been travelling around the country for six months and so far they haven't had any problem with insecurity. As well a lot of U.S citizens deciding to move south of the border because life down here is more affordable for them. She says she doesn't know anything about Mexico, but she dared to state that it is not a safe country. In the end the U.S is not much safer than Mexico, considering all the shooting that there are in the U.S cities. She clearly wants to pursue her "American dream", I doubt that there is still such a thing.

It is crucial the Ukrainians get help. They are in immediate danger. It is reported they want to go back home, as would I.
Nothing is black and white, some see as unfair. However, it is hard to please everyone. Hopefully folks from the Ukraine are also seeking refugee in other countries around them.
