“Farmers? Or seasonal farm workers? Because if it’s the later then we can get those from a lot closer.”
One historical, and current, problem with American agriculture is that it is too productive. That productivity has resulted is bumper crops, depressed farm product prices, and forcing smaller family farms out of business.
Bringing in productive South African farmers would further increase productivity and likely complicate US farm economics.
That said, the legal immigration of educated South Africans to the United States would be good for our country. They could be machinists; or heart surgeons (they have the history); and world history teachers in US public schools.
Once they get US citizenship, they would be excellent candidates for local, state, and federal office. We need educated people to run for public office. There seems to be a shortage.
And since the constitution does not require a legal degree to serve on the US Supreme Court, at least one could be appointed to the bench there. It would likely have a positive impact on the court.
Any South African that wants to become a US citizen should be required to affirm that they will judge fellow citizens by the content of their character and not the color of their skin - a good concept which is now out of vogue with US citizens of the liberal persuasion.
I'm sure that there is a certain number of South African immigrants legally allowed migrate each year.

So appoint someone who knows nothing of our laws or our Constitution or our legal system to the highest court in the land? Sure, what could possibly go wrong there? </sarcasm>

Most Americans don't do that, why require immigrants from South Africa?
South Africa's Afrikaners & the generations of Americans that emerged from our Revolution, almost certainly had more historically parallel experiences than either had with any other people on earth. Also, the Leftist smears of the settler population, there, completely misrepresented what the separate development policy was all about.
Note the section on "Apartheid Revisited" in my article on "Perspective & Focus" in the Debate Handbook:
The insanity of the let's pretend that everyone within former Colonial Administrative borders constitute a single nation, has already led to genocidal atrocities in Rwanda, Uganda, the K\Congo, Nigeria, etc. See "Democracy" In The Third World.
