US claims ‘emergency refugee situation’ as it admits 10,000 more white South Africans

The US government has said it will increase the number of white South Africans it admits as refugees this year from about 7,500 to 17,500, claiming that “unforeseen developments in South Africa created an emergency refugee situation.”

Since starting his second term in office last year, Donald Trump has repeatedly made false claims that white Afrikaners are racially targeted and face a “white genocide”, which South Africa’s government has furiously rebutted.

His administration also cut aid to South Africa, boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg last year and disinvited South Africa from this year’s G20, which will be held at one of Trump’s resorts in Miami.

The US began admitting white South Africans as refugees in May 2025, while suspending the refugee settlement programme for people fleeing war and persecution in countries including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan. In the year ending in September 2024, the last full fiscal year before Trump took office, the US admitted more than 100,000 refugees.

1. white christo-fascism continues

Nasty fucking pigs. The whole foul administration. Haven't done a single good thing for America. Unless one thinks hate is a good thing.

2. All part of Elon Musk and I think Peter Thiel's* plan to use Trump's racism to make America "white again."

Add this to the cutting of USAID which has been a part of a war on blacks in both Africa and America
in the pursuit of a fascist power structure and a dictatorship to be run out of a brand new Furhrer Bunker
@ the White House. The Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, the 14th, and 15th Amendments are
under attack or already have been dismantled by the Republicans with the help of the SCOTUS.

Gotta have more white people in America to go along with our new Jim Crow voting laws.

* Both Musk and Thiel have backgrounds with apartheid S. Africa and both were very active in
our elections too.

Say Good Bye to the 15th Amendment.

The Fifteenth Amendment (Amendment XV) to the United States Constitution prohibits the federal government or any state from denying or abridging a citizen's right to vote "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." It was ratified on February 3, 1870,[1] as the third and last of the Reconstruction Amendments. wiki

6. There arent enough white s africans to "make America White" again.

There are 100 million non-white Americans, reproducing at higher rates than whites. The math ain't mathing

7. America is getting darker and browner everyday and there is nothing they can do to stop that from ...

…. happening. Although gutting the civil rights act, the voting rights act, and amendments 12 through 15
will make it harder on “them.” Btw I spent a little time in the hospital lately and emigrants and 1st generation Americans make up the lion’s share of hospital employees from nurses’ assistants, to janitorial
workers, to surgeons, to food service, to administrators, to …. them foreigners all are all over the place.
My mom’s health aides @ her Sr. Residency are all Africans and from the Caribbean Islands.
