| In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Biden said: "We, the United States of America, stand with the Ukrainian people." Yes, his administration has sent humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine and imposed sanctions on Russia. Now the Editorial Board calls on the Biden administration to do something else: take in refugees from Ukraine. Already, the situation is being labeled "Europe's largest refugee crisis this century," with more than 1 million refugees fleeing Ukraine. Things will get worse as the conflict rages on. The White House has offered temporary protected status to Ukrainians currently in the United States. That is a good start, the Editorial Board argues — but accepting refugees would help many more, and also send a crucial signal to allies who have hearteningly offered help to escaping Ukrainians. At the same time, the Biden administration should not forget the plight of non-White refugees, who can face even greater challenges crossing borders and finding support. The president can decide to welcome tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees on his own, without waiting on Congress. This would be the smart — and, more importantly, the right – thing to do.
