False alternative between Ukraine support and border protection

Since the very beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the backdrop topics parallel to the news stream regarding U.S. and Western support for Ukraine is the issue of the southern U.S. border.

This has been a talking point in every political campaign in the U.S. since Russia attacked Ukraine. With Ukraine defending itself thanks to the dedication of its citizens, Western political support, the significant role of Poland, U.S. money, and American-made weapons have been notable. However, Biden's administration's policies have been strongly criticized by the political opposition in the U.S. The common talking point was why American taxpayers should pay for Ukrainian sovereignty and defense against Russian aggression while American sovereignty and the American border are not protected by the same state that put so much effort into supporting a nation fighting against aggression.

The problem is that migration flow through the southern American border is not only a problem of lack of effectiveness of migration policies but rather, this migration flow is the migration policy itself. Not only of Biden's administration but in the broader sense of all political allies of the people who are in power in Washington right now and share a certain set of values.

Different states in different parts of the world face the same problem.

Since 2015, Europe has been under constant migration attack. There are at least three major routes of migrant flow through the Mediterranean from the states of northern Africa, leading from central Africa to the capital cities of European states, Paris, London, Rome,

Another migration flow through Greek and Balkan borders and Turkey that leads straight to Berlin after Angela Merkel's infamous "Willkommen."

The third one was introduced in 2021

When the shocked world found out that there are Middle Eastern and African migrants that showed up in the Belarusian capital city of Minsk, ready to start at the Polish and Lithuanian border to travel to Berlin, through the border that used to be a place of military incursions many times in history, but was never a place where people from Africa used as a door to invade Europe.
