    These is the group of people who literally ran a white supremist government in South Africa and jailed Nelson Mandela for decades. Elon Musk people.

      Nah, the reason they’re feeling so persecuted in South Africa is that they used to have someone else wiping their asses for them and now they’re expected to do it themselves. These are people that are hoping to sit in the work van reading the newspaper and drinking coffee while all the underlings do the actual work.

    [The decision to accept South Africans as refugees]

    South Africa does not have any “refugees”. The very suggestion is ludicrous. This is Trump lie #74394. The democratic majority government took over from the white supremist minority government 30 years ago. If there were going to be any reprisals for the repressive dictatorship it would have all happened 30 years ago. There were no reprisals at all, not even the land seizures of plantations that occurred after the collapse of the similar dictatorship in Zimbabwe Rhodesia.

    It’s plainly obvious Traitorapist Trump and the civil rights reactionaries of the Republican Party just want white people to come here and non white people to leave here. That is the real “immigration” policy. In addition he is assuming they are likely to be racists like him and his far right reactionary clique of unamerican weirdos. What do you expect from someone whose father was arrested in a joint KKK/Fascist riot in NYC in 1928? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

      I agree these aren’t refugees, but your argument about nothing happening for 30 years so it can’t happen now is ridiculous. The politics change in SA just like in any other country, and nothing is stopping a new government from going after people for anything ranging from past deeds to skin color, even if it didn’t happen before.

    Need a reporter to get in Trump or his press secretary’s face and call this action “woke DEI” and start chanting “They will not replace us”
