"There are now 3 million Ukrainian refugees seeking asylum in other countries including many who are massed in Tijuana at our border with Mexico waiting to enter the United States," Canepa said. "Until Putin's illegal war is stopped, we have a moral responsibility to assist the children, women and men who are seeking refuge, including housing and health care, and vow to welcome them to San Mateo County with open arms."
