…because the refugees might have pending criminal charges. I feel like that’s a really important part missing from the headline. Nobody cares if a bunch of white farmers move from South Africa to the USA. They aren’t actually being persecuted, but whatever. America should be open to immigrantion. South Africa merely wants assurances that accepted “refugees” aren’t fleeing legitimate prosecution for crimes they have been charged with.
The larger issue is that we’re refusing legitimate refugees from other countries, and the Trump/Musk administration has made demonizing immigrants into their primary cause celebre.
To summarize, we’re sending innocent people to death camps because they’re brown, and we’re protecting criminals because they’re white.
I don’t, either, but I don’t believe that immigration should be restricted by the thoughts in your head. That part is more important than keeping out racists, because I’m never going to be the decider for which thoughts are OK and which thoughts are not OK.

I care. I don’t want more racist white people moving to the US.
