Administration official says South Africa is a ‘DEI regime par excellence’ as the White House radically overhauls refugee admission program
Donald Trump’s administration is mulling a plan that would more than double the annual limit for refugee admissions so the government can bring more white South Africans to the U.S.
The proposal follows the administration’s overhauling of the nation’s refugee admissions program to explicitly prioritize Afrikaners, The Independent previously reported.
Trump has already lowered the ceiling for annual admissions from 125,000 people to a record-low 7,500 — shutting off resettlement to thousands of already-vetted refugees who were preparing to start their life in the U.S. — and then limiting those admissions to mostly white South Africans.
They’re no longer legally allowed to discriminate in South Africa, therefore white South Africans are victims. Religion played a dual role in SA, on the one hand, to rationalize apartheid, on the other, for liberation and reconciliation. The US seems to have a similar religious division between liberal and conservative sects.
