WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump set the refugee admissions ceiling at 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, the lowest cap on record, a White House document published on Thursday said, part of a broader effort to reshape refugee policies in the U.S. and worldwide. Trump said in an annual refugee determination dated September 30 that admissions would be focused largely on South Africans from the country's white Afrikaner ethnic minority.
Trump has claimed Afrikaners face persecution based on their race in the Black-majority country, allegations the South African government has denied.
Trump paused all U.S. refugee admissions when he took office in January, saying they could only be restarted if they were established to be in the best interests of the U.S.
Weeks later, he launched an effort to bring in Afrikaners, sparking criticism from refugee supporters. Only 138 South Africans had entered the U.S. by early September, Reuters reported at the time.
In the determination published on Thursday, Trump said his administration would consider bringing in "other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands."
An internal document drafted by U.S. government officials in April, suggested the administration could also prioritize bringing in Europeans as refugees if they were targeted for expressing certain views, such as opposition to mass migration or support for populist political parties. Europeans and other groups were not named in Trump's public refugee plan.

OUT-FRIGGIN’-STANDING!
They’ll be more appreciative than British Jews who now need a place to go. I say Israel.
They are irritated because we, for once are helping white people.
Not taking in the dregs of every nation that empties their jails and sends them to us.
Is Reuters now going to deny that 9,000 - 11,000 white South Africans have been murdered mostly by blacks since blacks took power in 1994 and white farmers have been slaughtered by gangs of vicious black supremacist gangs??
My hatred for Reuters has long been maxed out.
Naomi Seibt from Germany just applied.
I think, she’s got good chance to get it!
Yup.
Especially African American Democrats who have counted on permanently seizing political power by importing gangs of black/brown illegal aliens. Don Lemon pretty much lost his mind when the first batch of white South Africans arrived a few months back.
Excellent. These are the kind of immigrants we need - not the dregs of the 3rd world.
I’ve never heard of her but thanks for posting this.
She’s a very fascinating young lady!

A nation of 330M may want immigrants, may accept immigrants, may tolerate immigrants, but doesn’t NEED immigrants.
Actual political asylum applicants. How refreshing.
Ready for the food riots by disgruntled “immigrants” and domestic multi-generational freeloaders?
Afrikaaners could probably give us some good advice on how best to Rourke’s Drift them.
F’n Reuters. The S. Africans are being hunted abs killed
It seems odd to place an arbitrary limit on true asylum seekers but we have to start somewhere. The vast majority of those ‘newcomers’ during the Xiden era do not fit the description.
