Australia Examining Fast-Track Visas for Threatened South African Farmers
Breitbart ^ | March 14, 2018 | Simon Kent

Posted on 03/14/2018 5:18:04 AM PDT by C19fan

Australia is ready to consider issuing special visas to mainly white, Afrikaans-speaking South African farmers due to the “horrific circumstances” of land seizures, violence and murder they face.

Peter Dutton, Australia’s home affairs minister, told the Sydney Daily Telegraph on Wednesday his department was examining a range of methods to smooth their path to Australia on humanitarian or other visa programs.

As Breitbart News has reported, South Africans are increasingly worried that the government’s plans to expropriate land from white farmers without compensation could destroy the economy and the country’s fragile democracy.

Good to read a small bit of sanity about this whole mess. The unfortunate thing is it’s been 25 years in the making and these Afrikaner farmers just stretched the rubber band too far when they should have pulled up stakes.

Good idea.
I wish we would do the same. The SA white farmers would be an asset to the Republic.

South Africa is the native country of the Boers, who have lived there almost as long as the descendants of the first settlers of Virginia or Massachusetts. While mainly of Dutch descent, there were significant numbers of German and French settlers among the Boers. All of them are more than three centuries removed from Europe. Unlike Australia or New Zealand, the Boers resisted British rule and were compelled to join the Empire.

They would be a better fit for the more heterogeneous United States than historically British Australia or New Zealand.

Good for them. I think South African farmers would do quite well in Australia and be productive members of Aussie society in very short order.

Great to see Australia actually having people with some sense to not continue to encourage white genocide the world over. South Africa is what the left wants for all white nations honestly.

The optics of Trump taking in a bunch of white farmers from the land of apartheid is pretty tough. It’s the right thing to do but politically it’s a bees nest. Better for oz to do it and let them migrate later.

Did any libtards call the Aussies racist yet? The liberals think those South African whites should allow themselves to be killed off, all in the name of PC diversity. So, if the Aussies want to save them, then the liberals probably think they are racists, because they want to save the white farmers from genocide. I really hate PC.

Many South Africans of British descent have already moved to Australia. The Boers are the ones up a creek because they lack Dominion papers.

Huge RSA expat community in Australia. Same with NZ. Were they fit in best is Texas and enormous expat community there.

Some of us saw the writing on the wall. We got the hell out before it could become Zimbabwe 2.0. Afrikaners don’t raise pansies or snowflakes.

A large % of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago staff are RSA expats. We should fast track, as in instant, Visas for the Boers. They would be a tremendous economic shot in the arm for the USA.

We work any American into the dirt. My parents, in their 80’s constantly complain about how lazy their neighbors are. Dad cleans the fountains, rakes leaves, mows, plants trees, powerwashes their deck, etc. They are not retired. Their company is a leading financial services wholesaler and it is just them. They don’t want employees. To quote them “These F%^king Americans are lazy.”

If you could change that to "the SA white farmers who identify as black" then the democrats would jump on board real fast and we could welcome these new persons of color to our country pronto!

“Many South Africans of British descent have already moved to Australia. The Boers are the ones up a creek because they lack Dominion papers.”

Many South Africans of British descent don’t have options either.
