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.
If they say South Africa discriminates against whiny white colonial descendants, isn’t that the opposite of DEI? Wouldn’t their fantasy version of DEI force the government to include the whites in more places simply because they are minorities?
