Trump Begins Resettling Persecuted White Afrikaners

The left would argue that this promotes white supremacy but the reality is that racism runs in both directions. So yes , white Afrikaners who have experienced race related violence should be given refugee status.

Yes. Absolutely! Have been hearing about their plight for years now. They truly need asylum. I know how the left will spin it, but it's more important to do the right thing.

Yes, they are in danger of being killed. It is racist.

I agree with Stephen Miller's assessment that this fits the 'textbook definition of refugee' under US law. The Afrikaners have been dealing with physical harassment, harm and abuse, not just 'economic hardship' as so many other 'refugees' claim as their reason/right to immigrate. Big difference. Unfortunately, once again, the focus is on skin color. If the Afrikaners were any other skin color (other than white), this move by the Trump administration would be applauded by 'everyone'.

Yes, white farmers have been exposed to government sanctioned violence in South Africa for decades, and the USA does well in granting them refugee status and exposing racist governments.

This proves that Trump is a fair, thoughtful, methodical leader that makes his decisions based on truth and facts and not on mob mentality, mental instability or corruption.

Yes we should fight racism in all it’s forms

I like the decision to grant refugee status to white Afrikaners. If they have farming experience, it would be nice to see them placed in the heartland of the country to expand on their farming lifestyle. It's good to have productive people coming to help America and her needs.

We should gladly add immigrants who will be able to be productive assets to our country as well as providing a safe haven for those who are being persecuted by their own government.

It's a good move, the persecuted minorities should always be prioritized. The Afrikaners experience violence and harassment, they should be given an opportunity to escape this situation. I can say the same about other persecuted minorities, especially Christians in Muslim countries, such as Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq or Syria (and many other countries) and Yezidis in Iraq. Or Alawites in Syria, who have been massacred recently by the islamists. These groups assimilate well in the Western societies, and their lives are in danger at home.

The difference with Afrikaner farmers is that they weren’t trying to sneak into our country—they were invited. They didn’t break our laws, storm the border, or leech off our system before being vetted. They applied through legal channels, and more importantly, they bring a valuable, time-tested trade: farming. America needs people who can contribute, not people who show up demanding benefits before we even know who they are.

Now, for those screaming “white only,” that’s a lazy argument. These farmers weren’t picked because they’re white—they were picked because they’re being persecuted, and they have something to offer. That’s what real asylum looks like.

Compare that to the 20+ million people who broke into this country illegally—before we even talk about help, shouldn’t we figure out who they are? Instead, under Biden, we’ve handed out resources like he’s tossing parts at a stripped-down stolen car. That’s not immigration—that’s chaos.

Definitely, grant them refugee status and give them the opportunity to contribute to our nation culturally, economically. Elon Musk could use some loyal, ambitious workers in Austin TX pushing ahead with AI and Robotics or in southwest Texas launching spacecraft to the Moon and Mars while filling the sky with communication satellites. Go Afrikaners.

Yes I live in rsa murder rate 70 a,day.the farmers are sometimes tortured before being murdered the government says criminals but why torture.there are 15000 white farmers working in the usa anyway.

Yes, they are being discriminated against based on race. That fits the definition for refugee priority with the U .S. Refugee program.

It is tough to face the one-sided discrimination the Afrikaners are facing. I cannot however sympathize more with them than with the unrelenting terror that black Christian men and women are experiencing in Congo, Nigeria, Sudan, Burkina Faso, etc. The South African government has not marched 70 Afrikaners into their church and beheaded them. Should something similar begin to happen, then by all means, remove any barriers to U.S. immigration for them. But I would far rather see the U.S. take the side of our Christian brothers and sisters under real and deadly persecution first.

The white farmers in South Africa have been under attack for a couple of decades (in my memory). John B Wells has been reporting on it for years. These are true refugees, and would be hard working people in our America! I say welcome!

Yes, legally! Help should be available to those who are in danger and ostracized by their government.

Yes, but I think it'll be temporary. Once most all whites are gone, I'll give it ten years MAX before it implodes through nepotism and corruption, like any other African "country".

Yes, the Afrikaners should be accepted as refugees, but so should persecuted Christians throughout the world. In Nigeria, for example, Christians are getting killed every day simply for their faith. Religious persecution also should be a valid reason to be accepted as a refugee.

yes

How about Canadian refugees wanting to enter USA? Do we have to wait to become like South Africa?

the blacks want to kill them and steal all that they have. We are their only home.

Absolutely. What Rich said!

Absolutely. What is happening in South Africa is exactly what our betters want to happen in the USA.

100% Read "Kill the Boer" by Ernst Roets if you want to understand why this is so needed (although I would prefer that the United States help them (Afrikaners and Afrikaans-speaking peoples) form their own homeland in southern Africa - a Volkstaat - where they can be free and prosperous, contributing the continent's economy. The murderous (criminal thugs, really) EFF political party calls for genocide, yet due to being black, are allowed to proceed with support from useless organizations such as the United Nations.
