STEVE DOOCY (HOST): I think the average American, you know, over the last month during the war they haven't really thought much about what is going on down there. When they think about migration policies of the United States, I think the average American would like to open our doors to people from Ukraine to figure out how to get here.
THOMAS HOMAN (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Exactly. And Ukraine is probably a population that deserves asylum in this country. But if you look at what's happening on the southwest border now, the Central American surge, the data already shows nine out of 10 Central Americans who claim asylum at the border never get any relief from the U.S. government because they either don't show up in court or they clearly don't qualify. But they're clogging up the entire system of countries that actually need our help, that actually are refugees that need our country's help.
