More white South Africans arrive in the US under a new refugee program

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A second group of white South Africans has arrived in the United States under a refugee program announced by the Trump administration, officials and advocacy groups said Monday.

Nine people, including families, arrived late last week, said Jaco Kleynhans, head of international liaison at the Solidarity Movement, a group representing members of South Africa’s white Afrikaner minority. The group traveled on a commercial flight to Atlanta, he said.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy said in an email to The Associated Press that “refugees continue to arrive in the United States from South Africa on commercial flights as part of the Afrikaner resettlement program’s ongoing operations.”

An initial group of 59 white South Africans arrived at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on a chartered flight last month under the new program announced by U.S. President Donald Trump in February. The Trump administration fast-tracked the resettlement of white South Africans after indefinitely suspending other U.S. refugee programs.

The Trump administration said it is offering refugee status to white South Africans it alleges are being persecuted by their Black-led government and are victims of racially motivated violence. The South African government has denied the allegations and said they are a mischaracterization of the country.

Democrats are incensed, no doubt. They want the white farmers dead about as much as the black South Africans.

“Trump has FALSELY claimed...”

If Trump ends up being a dictator and JAILING the people running AP and other networks doing these character assassinations under the cover of ‘journalism’, I’ll gladly help him.

After all, is it REALLY so difficult to simply write: “Trump has claimed...” - after all, until 10 years ago, all news reporting would be that way.

They flew them to Atlanta? Why in the name of God? White people are fleeing Atlanta.

I agree. Load up planes one after the other and bring them over.

“I hope the have sponsors to help them become independent.”

For the first group that arrived, it was expected that the Episcopal church would take them in and help them assimilate. They refused. Not sure why.

Hubby read that the local Baptist churches stepped up to the task. IDK if true.

I just don’t understand why the Episcopals wouldn’t help. I’m sure they have no problem helping the illegals.

I wonder if the media described the color of the skin of refugees in past articles and said that their persecution were just claims?

Associated Propaganda (AP) “The Trump administration has fast-tracked resettlement of White farmers from South Africa, while suspending other refugee programs.” They omit to mention that the “other refugee programs” were abused by the Biden administration to grant entry to millions of illegal aliens who did not meet the criteria for “refugees”.

Odd how the AP uses lower case for Whites in their headline, of course they follow the same practice for other races and ethnicities…right?
