The Trump administration plans to limit the number of refugees admitted to the country to 17,500 mostly white South Africans, the administration told Congress Tuesday, as it continues to transform a program that at one point served as a pathway to safety for people fleeing war and strife from countries around the world.

In a notice to Congress obtained by The Associated Press, the administration said the white South Africans faced seizures of their land and other forms of persecution and would be likely to assimilate when they come to America. The South African government has repeatedly rejected the idea that the white South Africans, who are Afrikaners, are a persecuted minority in the home country.

Welcome these hard working, English speaking immigrants who will blend in effortlessly and make great American citizens. I am delighted to see these South Africans coming on top of the thousands already here. I hope some of them will settle here in our community,

If Western Europe continues to slip into a region hostile to the descendants of the historic population, governed under anarchotyranny, the Afrikaners may be joined by British, French, German, Belgian, Dutch, Irish, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Spanish refugees.

Do it soon, in case the mid terms add to the Dems influence by subtracting from Conservatives’.

[sjmjax]

About time!

Sad, however, to be forced to abandon the country you built.

[toddausauras]

Welcome to America, I say.

[leopud]

How about Finnish?!

[PGR88]

It would better to arm them, so they can be safe in their own country.

[UnwashedPeasant]

As they step off the plane, they will already be more assimilated, more American, and love this country more than millions of third-generation immigrants from other places.

coming soon to a US near you... if the dems have anything to say about it

[Mark17]

Have the democrats claimed this is a racist idea yet?

“vertrou in god en die mauser”: Trust in God and the Mauser.

[Buck-Toothed Knuckle Dragger]

Yes this is great news. We’ll soon see, within my lifetime I’d wager, South Africa on par with the Congo or Zimbabwe or any other African basket-case country.

You can bet it won’t be Switzerland.

[jmacusa]

It’s already happening.

[SmokingJoe]

Excellent!

Grok:

Around 13,000 South Africans (overwhelmingly white Afrikaners) have been admitted as refugees under the Trump administration's program as of roughly mid-to-late August/early September 2026, based on State Department/Refugee Processing Center data reported by multiple outlets.

The South African government has repeatedly rejected the idea that the white South Africans, who are Afrikaners, are a persecuted minority in the home country.

The leader of one of the major political parties was yelling "kill the boer" to the loud acclaim of his followers. Boer is another word for white farmer. This is persecution.

Short vid of a white South African legal immigrant farmer who is damn glad to be here, will make a great U.S. citizen.

I’d welcome all 4.5 million of them. Immediately.

[central_va]

The first gen immigrants always votes Democrat.

[Sirius Lee]

Flip the script. Settle them right in the middle of muzzy enclaves. Make Mad Mo’s morons miserable.
