It looks like your liberal neighbors will have to take down their “refugees welcome” signs now.

A small group of South African refugees arrived in the United States on Monday bearing American flags.

They came to the U.S. after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February designating them as in need of asylum.

One would think the Left would be happy about this. After all, Democrats are allegedly the party of refugees. All are welcome, right? Wrong.

Left-wing media commentators and Democrat politicians are apoplectic.

The Left Says Quiet Part Out Loud: Whites Need Not Apply for Asylum

It looks like your liberal neighbors will have to take down their “refugees welcome” signs. They oppose bringing in a few dozen Afrikaners.

It's not that the South Africans aren't welcome. It's that they shouldn't get preferential treatment over other refugees. From the Episcopal Presiding Bishop's letter:

Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain. Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.

...

It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment over many others who have been waiting in refugee camps or dangerous conditions for years.

I believe many of these people are farmers and we need farmers in this nation. There is a pragmatic aspect to this.


The number of U.S. farms continues slow decline | Economic Research Service

After peaking at 6.8 million farms in 1935, the number of U.S. farms fell sharply until the early 1970s. Rapidly falling farm numbers during the earlier period reflected growing productivity in agriculture and increased nonfarm employment opportunities. Since 1982, the number of U.S. farms has...

I do not believe the Episcopalian Church would care about certain groups getting pushed to the front of the line. If this were a bunch of Palestinian Muslims your church would be more than happy to help them migrate.

If the Episcopalians would rather not take the grant money than to help settle Afrikaners, that's their business. No one requires them to do so; no one requires them to give a reason. Just as no one requires individual Episcopalians to remain Episcopalians. If individual Episcopalians are fine with their church's actions, so be it. If not, there's no reason to remain. There are already break-away Episcopal churches, and those are an option, just as moving to another denomination entirely is an option.

The article is incorrect and just right wing propaganda. Democrats would welcome these people if they were truly being terrorized in their country. Trump has been spouting lies about what has been happening.

Yes, we don't take kindly to a rich, egotistical, wannabe monarch hurting people to stroke his ego and pad his bank account. If that's a problem, I am happy to be a problem.

"Wannabe monarch"! In an absolute monarchy maybe. In a constitutional monarchy, such as the UK, he'd lose all his power.

Charles III, and I suspect other monarchs in democracies, really just 'rubber stamp' what their parliaments approve. After all, how can one person have absolute power in a democracy? Also, they have to be polite, not express their own opinions (except perhaps on 'good causes'), treat everyone equally and adhere to their Parliaments' agenda without political bias. I'm not sure that Trump would like that!
