It isn’t really surprising that Trump has shuttered refugee admissions, as he is a bone-deep racist and seems to think that people who seek asylum are literally coming from asylums.
But there is one very special group that Trump does want to come to the United States, and that’s white people. Well, a very specific group of white people: white South African Afrikaners.
This isn’t subtle or just some sort of inference. It’s in the Federal Register that the administration announced it would cap refugee admissions at 7,500.
“The admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa,” it explicitly states.
You know who doesn’t qualify? People of color from South Africa. Got it. And white people who are not descendants of the Dutch colonizers who brutally repress
