Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

That data is backed up by the US Refugee Admissions Program, a federal public-private interagency collaboration program that works on refugee resettlement.> …

A presidential memo from September announced Trump’s intentions: that the refugees accepted “shall primarily be among Afrikaners from South Africa” and “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.”

The Trump administration sees Afrikaners, an South African ethnic group descended primarily from European settlers, as victims of white “genocide”—a racist conspiracy theory promoted by many on the far right, notably Elon Musk.

    Wdym you don’t think Harris was better for the US? /s

    To the downvoters: this isn’t a Dems vs republicans issue, it’s a US issue. It’s a uniparty system that’s working as intended, which is why it needs to be completely abolished and revolutionized.

      If you don’t think Harris would be better for the US than Trump or that she would only let in white people from South Africa, you’re insanely delusional.

      While it is definitely a US thing, it’s also a Republican vs Democrat thing. Neither party is even good, but one is way worse in almost every facet than the other.

      If Harris won, do you think we’d be engaged in a war with Iran right now, or that the straight of Hormuz would be closed, or that the Epstein files would be as blocked as they are? Do you think she would have signed a bunch of EOs that are illegal to enrich herself and her family? Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people? No, none of that would have happened, because she is better than Trump, and that’s a Republican vs Democrat thing.

        Disclaimer, I don’t think harris would have been as bad as Trump. But this is the US.

        If Harris won, do you think we’d be engaged in a war with Iran right now

        Yes, Israel is America’s ally and this is Israel’s war. The choice would be between letting Israel get absolutely destroyed which would have unironically happened by now if there weren’t 3 carrier groups trying to intercept missiles and drones, or going to war with Iran.

        that the Epstein files would be as blocked as they are?

        Yes, as an AG she spent her time refusing to charge pedos and disproportionately arresting (and arguing against the conditional release of) minorities. She worked with a know pedophile for four fucking years and called him one of the best people she knew.

        Do you think she would have signed a bunch of EOs that are illegal to enrich herself and her family?

        She went fairly middle class Californian to one of the richest women on Earth by the time she ended her tenure as Senator. You tell me. Maybe they would’ve been legal like how all other presidents massively enriched themselves in office. Maybe that’d be the difference.

        Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people?

        It’d be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.

        The main difference is it would still be comfortable for the ever shrinking middle class, and it would be quiet since liberals by and large don’t listen to unapproved news sources for information. Just like Obama’s kills of US citizens across the world, just like Biden’s record number of child arrests, many of whom are still detained in “Trump’s” ICE facilities (or just missing).

          Oof, this is certainly a take. I’ll go ahead and just disagree and we can go our separate ways on this one.

            Material analysis does tend to go contrary to liberal fantasy. Have a good life full of surprise and wonder at how the blue tie doesn’t materially change things.
