The fact Trump created a special refugee/asylum status for (white) Afrikaners has been widely reported. This is the first reporting I've seen abt just how much we're doing/spending to essentially recruit Afrikaners to resettle in the US www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

And then send them back after 3 months without pay. Include musk in the effort.

(318 posts)4. SA is terrible and everyone wants to leave
yet there are only 8200 requests out of the 2.7 million eligible afrkaners.
I guess most white people want to stay. The ones who want to leave have already left.
In SA, the government has allowed the poor, including whites, to live in squatter camps.
In the US, those camps would be bulldozed and residents possibly arrested by the government.
