The U.S. aims to process 4,500 refugee applications from white South Africans per month, far above President Donald Trump's stated refugee program cap, and is installing trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to support the effort, a U.S. contracting document said.

Are there really any South Africans still living there who would want to take the US up on this offer?

Who said they were asking them? Seems to me that you may have misunderstood the concept of "bringing" them.

It's so weird how wingers kept claiming the country was "full" when it came to the "invasion" from South and Central America, or non-whites from other countries.

But I guess 4500 people a month is not an "invasion" in this instance?

🤔

I guess this is what you do when you're all out of Hessian mercenaries.

But I thought it was the Democrats and their open border policies and socialist welfare state that were bringing in immigrants to ensure elections in their favor?!!!

There's a lot of white supremacists and hate groups there that have active ties to hate groups here in the US. Many white South Africans were and are not happy with the fact that their racial hierarchy got scrapped.

Yes, but they’re mostly rich and powerful people, right? So they would have left the country when Apartheid ended in 1994, 32 years ago, or decided to dig in and hold on to what their ancestors rightfully stole?

I just don’t see why anyone who meets the criteria would want to come to the US as a refugee in 2026….

Bringing Africans to the country involuntarily, just like the good old days.

Yeah, they get all bent out of shape about it.

They're missing their deportation quotas and want some easy wins.

That's a really strange thing to do while being insanely fascistly gung-ho about deporting people.

It's not an invasion if they're white.
