The first group of white South Africans granted refugee status by Donald Trump’s administration has arrived in the US, stirring controversy in South Africa as the US president declared the Afrikaners victims of a “genocide”.
The Afrikaners, a minority descended from mainly Dutch colonists, were met at Dulles international airport outside Washington DC by US deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, and deputy secretary of homeland security, Troy Edgar, with many given US flags to wave.
Reuters reported that the group numbered 59 adults and children, citing a state department official, while Associated Press said there were 49.
On the same day the group arrived in the US, Trump’s government also ended legal protections that had temporarily protected Afghans from deportation, citing an improved security situation in the country, which is ruled by the Taliban.
One consideration for resettling Afrikaners not Afghans was that “they could be easily assimilated into our country,” Landau told reporters at the airport.
Trump suspended the US refugee settlement programme in January, leaving more than 100,000 people approved for refugee resettlement stranded. Then, in February, he signed an executive order directing officials to grant refugee status to Afrikaners, whose leaders ruled during apartheid while violently repressing the Black majority.

Thoughts and prayers.
These fuckers are doing a fantastic job of turning the USA into the KKK.
Already taken care of, honestly. Hell, if we’re lucky, they’ll end up being the ones indoctrinated out of racist thinking and into more progressive views. I’m not holding my breath, though.
Can we make them hold their breath though, I want to see how long they can do it under water until they stop kicking preferably.
When was it not the KKK?
Hope they are good at working the fields for minimal wage so they can replace all the other immigrants that got chucked out.
“My family immigranted for a better life, fought against decades of discrimination to make a home here.”
“My family were slaves. Brought over against our will, and are still trying to find our place.”
“My family settled and tried to take over another country and, when that didn’t work, and the inhabitants weren’t super chummy, they came to this county to have the freedom to be racist against your families.”
Maybe some day we’ll find out how to make the immigration system so quick and efficient for people who aren’t white.
Let them love at maralago. Also no voting rights.
Honest question. What germicide is going on in South Africa?
The white minority that used to own everything there now only owns almost everything.
That’s it. That’s what the fascists from both countries are calling persecution and genocide.
So nobody is being killed?
Because the “ocide” part of genocide would imply that there’s some death involved… And without that, this would be… A straight up lie. So exactly Trump’s MO.
Words don’t have to mean anything anymore
importing racists don’t we have enough?
Where does the golden ticket money go to? Trump? I take it?
So those ‘we’re full’ people will be upset about this too, right? Right?! Oh wait, we know full well their motivations for their anti-immigrant stance don’t extend beyond their stupid fucking racist dipshit peanut-sized brains.
at the behest of a south african nazi, trump is importing more south african nazis.
I would love a list of these refugees so that we can properly welcome them to our communities. Names, photos, and addresses would be lovely.
