This is one project we could work with the Russians on. They have resettled about 600 to 900 thousand. Actually Russia is a better location for them because they are socialists.

And there are 6 million of them.

What happened to America First?

What happened to staying out of the world’s business?

Horrible things happen to people all over the world.

And who is Trump worried about? The Afrikaners. LOL.

Go ahead and freeze aid. But, that’s it. Nothing more.

We’re struggling with high inflation and a housing crisis.

We don’t need to resettle the Afrikaners.

The White House said Trump is also going to announce a program to resettle white South African farmers and their families as refugees.

I'm so glad. I'm so glad. I've thought about their situation for years and just shivered.

That’s racist, letting in white people. The only legitimate immigrants are the illegal Hispanics and other poor brown or black criminals.

I never thought I would see the day. Thank you, Pres. Trump!

..when Black people had land taken away from them.

Eh? Really? The Whites arrived in South Africa at the same time the Great Bantu expansion was extending its never-ending
reach into the region.

The reason for the expansion was the masterful plan of the Bantu people, at the time led by Shaka-Zulu, to despoil one
region after the other, moving South to as-of-yet despoiled territory.

When British, Boers, and Bantu pushed into South Africa, the land only had migratory bands of Hottentots traipsing through.

I love the way this Leftist article capitalizes Black but not white.

Agree. These immigrants would be a great addition to the US.

Loads of nonworking farms in upstate New York that could be made productive again.

The Expropriation Act was signed into law by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa last month and allows the government to take land in specific instances where it is not being used, or where it would be in the public interest if it is redistributed. It aims to address some of the wrongs of South Africa’s racist apartheid era, when Black people had land taken away from them and were forced to live in areas designated for non-whites.

Freaking AP, biased as usual.

So it's taken 30 years for black-led SA to decide to "address some of the wrongs ... when black people had land taken away".

BS. It's because they are putting the pedal to the metal going full-Communist.

Not all White South Africans are Socialists... There is a Fellow named Musk who comes to mind.

Literally the BEST FARMERS on the planet. If the DEIs in South Africa doesn’t want them, we sure as hell can use them.

I believe Zambia has taken in South African farmers. Smart move on their part.

There are plenty of needy, oppressed people all over the world. I see no need for welcoming Afrikaaners. (And I have some as clients.)

The Afrikaners are some of the most productive and intelligent people on the planet.

They will be paying taxes from day one which will actually help reduce the budget deficit.

I am generally opposed to any immigration—but for every rule there are exceptions.

These folks are outstanding citizens and would be a great addition to the country.

Many people all over the world are intelligent and hardworking, but Americans need jobs and housing.

The Afrikaners can resettle themselves in the Netherlands or somewhere else in Europe.

The only reason Trump came up with this plan is Musk.

You may be correct—but these are immigrants that will build businesses and create new jobs—increase prosperity for everyone.
