What a coincidence, that is exactly what the country voted for.

Many had already sold possessions or ended leases in preparation for travel. They had submitted reams of documents supporting their cases, been interviewed by U.S. officials and in many cases already had tickets to fly to America.

Bummer.

Oh, well.

Dozens of white South Africans have been let in this year. But only about 100 others have been admitted as a result of a lawsuit by advocates seeking to restart the refugee program . . .

What's the difference between dozens and only about 100?

Not refugees but Human Leeches that drain the taxpayer and destroy the country they go to

Am I supposed to feel bad about this?
It isn’t working.

No more “refugees” No more “asylum” seekers.

And send the ones who are here now back.

First paragraph conveys the flavor. “Oh! the humanity!”

"As part of Trump’s crackdown on both legal and illegal migration, the Republican president has upended the decades-old refugee program that has served as a beacon for those fleeing war and persecution. In October, he resumed the program but set a historic low of refugee admissions at just 7,500 — mostly white South Africans.

I suspect one would need a microscope to read everything between those lines.

WAIT A SECOND!!! They are fleeing war and persecution but had time to sell everything, buy their tickets, and plan travel.

Hopefully the illegals in the US are selling possesions in preparation for travel.

Make your own country great again rather than come here and arrive as gimmiegrants.
