I do feel bad for the Whites in South Africa. But this is not new. It’s not a surprise. It’s not our problem to fix. We need to block any thinking that we are some magical “solution” to every problem.

These are intelligent, peacable, and hard working people in dire need of safety. It doesn't hurt us to allow them here.

We need to block any thinking that we are some magical “solution” to every problem.

OTOH we don't need to blow off an obvious opportunity. Consider that Elon Musk was one of these people.

Admission to our nation should be based on one thing and one thing only. Is the immigrant an asset to our nation?

Those Afrikaners would be an asset. The use of fear of political persecution has been used and abused in the extreme by economic refugees and not politically persecuted. Send us your doctors, engineers, chemists, craftsmen, tradesmen, nurses and health care workers etc. NO LAWYERS!

Oddly there is a place for seasonal migrant farm workers. Let them work here legally with the stipulation you can not bring your family. If you work here for 10 years and have had no problems with the law give them a green card and apply for citizenship. After 10 years they have proved their worth.

My brother in law from Mexico took 17 years to get his USA citizenship. He did it all the legal way as should all. He is pissed off about what is happening on the border under Biden.
