  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Trump administration will cap the U.S. refugee resettlement ceiling for fiscal year 2026 to a historic low, drawing criticism from Christian aid organizations who say it abandons bona fide refugees already approved for resettlement, including persecuted Christians.

The White House posted the announcement, initially drafted in late September, in the Federal Register on Thursday, noting that the number of refugees to be accepted annually will be 7,500, with a special focus on Afrikaners from South Africa. The figure represents a sharp decline from the 125,000 ceiling set under the final fiscal year of the Biden administration.

“The admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa pursuant to Executive Order 14204, and other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands," stated the document.
