      because they don’t need refugee status. They’re utilizing this as loop hole to circumvent proper methods of immigration. you know like the people who literally pay thousands of dollars to properly immigrate to the US. These people aren’t fleeing anything remotely close to an emergency or crisis they’re simply immigrating while saving a few bucks in the process.

      This is also a very easy way for the current administration to bring in more white people who share the same views and opinions of said administration. it’s text book fascism. kick out the colored bring in the right white.

        As a South African I can confirm there is zero emergency here. As usual, Trump just prattles off whatever lies fits his needs.

          Fuck off, man, we already have too many racist shitbags grown domestic. South Africa needs to keep theirs right where they grew 'em.

          1. They are not refugees, they should immigrate the normal (expensive) way like everyone else and not get a free ride on the American tax payer’s dollar. Especially when we have, what, 30,000 refugees from south of the border living in warehouses awaiting a chance to legally immigrate. 50,000? 100,000? Probably even more than that.

          2. They’re escaping South Africa with fortunes made by exploiting the people of South Africa and will suffer no consequences in the US. They stand at least some chance of being punished in their own country (even more so if they’re running like this, seems like they can feel the noose tightening), and their money would stay in South Africa to help the country in such a case instead of disappearing into the offshore haven of the US.

          3. They’re friends of people like Musk and Trump, and allowing them to more easily use their money to affect American policy will be worse not just for the US, but the world at large. Letting people with experience running an apartheid regime into the politics of a belligerent war hungry government who has already threatened numerous friendly countries over resources cannot end well.

          You do realize that the current (semi)nonorganic rise in fascism has been pushed/funded by South African Nazis living here right? Fuck em

      There isn’t an emergency. These are racists kicking our brown people who are following the law (ICE wouldn’t be camping outside of immigration courts to abduct people if they actually wanted those breaking the law) and letting in white people just to rub it in.

      The problem is that we have quite literally cut off refugees from every other country, including places that actually need it. These people are fleeing a made up crisis.

      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g89kkvenqo

      US has let in 4,499 refugees since October - all but three were South African

      (As of April, so obviously more SA “refugees” now)
