Trump Cuts Refugee Admissions and Prioritizes White South Africans

[Say it aint so]

The Trump administration is drastically cutting the number of refugees it will admit to the United States, rejecting thousands of people fleeing war and persecution while reserving the record-low number of slots for mostly white Afrikaner South Africans.​

The administration lowered the ceiling of refugee admissions to just 7,500 for the fiscal year that started this month, down from the cap of 125,000 set by the Biden administration last year, according to a notice in the Federal Register posted on Thursday.​

The notice made plans official that had been in the works for months. They overhaul a program that for decades made the U.S. a sanctuary from persecution and turn it into one that gives preference to English speakers and white people overseas whom Mr. Trump has pledged to protect.​

Mr. Trump took steps to gut the refugee program on the first day of his second term, when he suspended refugee admissions. He then created a carve-out for South African descendants of Dutch and French settlers who arrived there in the 17th century, even as families hoping to escape war in Sudan, Iranian religious minorities previously approved to travel to the United States and people in refugee camps around the world remained in limbo. --NYT​

Is Trump racist? That's a label not to be applied lightly. But the above actions are definitely what a racist would do.

Just what we need, believers in apartheid because we have a racist shortage here. SMH.

WOW - 12,000,000 non Caucasian people enter the US illegally in one term - no issues with race - less than 5,000 Caucasian South Africans are trying to legally enter the US legally and it is a racist issue.

They should have just come across the Southern Border illegally - then the left would protect them.

""12,000,000 non Caucasian people enter the US illegally in one term -"'
Your numbers are badly fictitious. There are not 5k South Afrikaners trying to get to the US. There is no white South Afrikaner genocide. The first group of white South Afrikaners that arrived were 59. Not enough to fill the plane. The second group months later consisted of nine. Not enough to fill a crop duster. If once again one has to lie for a cause, there is no cause. There is however genocide taking place in other countries. But those countries are where brown people live. So Trump revoked that status of those folks living here. Biden had a TPS to Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and Ukrainians. He revoked those except the Ukrainians. Now what do the Ukrainians have in common with the South Afrikaners that the Haitians, Cubans, and Venezuelans don't? Yes, a rhetorical question.

I didn’t say there was a South African genocide.

You mean all this fuss is over 59 people? Because of their race

Not to just run off to the next claim, your """12,000,000 non Caucasian people enter the US illegally in one term -"' is false.
No one said you claimed a genocide. Trump did as his false justification to accept immigrants as long as they are white.
They even cooked evidence when the South Africa President came to the white house.

pssst... they are fleeing for their lives because of their race -

No.
They are fleeing because of intense safety issues.
Black people have safety issues there too.

Sorry. Not a skin colour issue. If he's NOT accepting black South Africans it's clearly a racist policy.

yeesh - know your racist before saying things like this.

Whose racist?

No.

LOL - they are fleeing for their lives - that would indeed be an intense safety issue and whywhy? Because of their race

Black people have safety issues there too.

It does not negate the facts we are talking about

Sorry. Not a skin colour issue.

Sorry - yes it is -

If he's NOT accepting black South Africans it's clearly a racist policy.

If - if

The Vast majority of people coming to the US are not white -

The most common racial or ethnic group among immigrants to the U.S. is Hispanic or Latino, particularly from Mexico. Asian immigrants—especially from India and China—also make up a significant portion of recent arrivals.

Other Notable Groups​

• African immigrants—particularly from Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Ghana—have been growing steadily in numbers.

So please - the racist accusation is failing exponentially - it just doesn't work

Remember we are talking about 59 people - good grief.
