How Trump’s ‘white preference’ saw 7,727 SA ‘refugees’ enter US while resident immigrants sidelined

Of the 7,730 people who entered the United States as ‘refugees’ over several months, all but three were from South Africa. This was while immigrants from other countries, already legally in America, have had to turn to a court to get immigration benefits – their case reiterates how US President Donald Trump has prioritised white Afrikaners.

Immigration policies in the United States have seen thousands of South African “refugees” allowed into that country, while foreigners from elsewhere, including Syria and Iran, already residing in the US, have struggled for benefits such as work authorisation.

Some of those immigrants fear that even though they have made it into the US legally, they may be forced to return home, where they face persecution.

The US has officially opened its arms to Afrikaners from South Africa, in keeping with an order issued by US President Donald Trump early last year.

‘Bent to benefit Afrikaners’ — report

But it has not been plain sailing for all those trying to get into America – Rapport noted last weekend that hundreds of Afrikaners had been denied refugee entry.

Some of the unsuccessful applicants, it reported, had already resigned from their jobs because they were so confident they would resettle in the US.
