Over 1,500 Ukrainians are believed to be waiting for asylum right now near the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
21-year-old Aliona Darmorost and her 24-year-old cousin, Bohdana Haikova, left Ukraine last week after a friend in Sacramento offered to host them.
Their relatives are still there, including the men in their family, like Bohdana’s brother, who is serving in the army defending Ukraine.
