What are your thoughts on this? It's truly outrageous. And we are paying for it.

I'm a white South African who's been living elsewhere (Europe) for 15 years. I would never dream of claiming refugee status anywhere nor would I ever wish to deprive anyone of protection. I'm not wealthy or privileged but all I can say is any white South African who goes to the US as a refugee has to be from the bottom of the barrel. It's embarrassing.

Not because of crime or discrimination

Must have cost you alot of money 💰 to emigrate. Did you have a maid?

Why did you leave South Africa 🇿🇦 to stay in Europe?

Sorry about all this (white) shitposting, but White South Africans don't realise that crime doesn't discriminate and that they still experience statistically less crime than Black South Africans have had to endure for decades.

What ...! There's always something I've missed that I learn about here. Thank you so much for sharing and keeping us readers well aware.

This. Is. Ridiculous.

This sure isn't "subtle". I have expect them all to be sworn in as US citizens in record numbers as well, possibly wearing white sheets over their heads and swastika armbands... This is just more evidence the US isn't a democracy by a long shot.

The gratuitous body-shaming comment detracts from what is otherwise, if a bit repetitive , an important article. You could have made the same point by contrasting their obviously healthy well-fed family with starving refugees from any number of other countries. Clearly hunger was not a factor in their decision to emigrate. I haven't read the Mother Jones article, but I suspect the US doesn't take just any white South Africans. They likely have to declare what assets and savings they will bring with them.

That sounds plausible, and a kind of 'emigration deal' would be entirely in character for the racist, transactional nature of the Trump regime. It would also mean a total of zero refugees - real or otherwise - are being offered asylum there. Completely believable.

More important than ever that the search for justice continues! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing to track down and bring Israeli criminals to justice is one that is vital in the effort to hold Israel accountable.  Let us hope they will also turn their sights on the criminal leaders of the countries of the west who are co-perpetrators of these crimes.

Find out what they’re doing here:

The least we can do is donate to help them:

At least we are doing a service to the great people of South Africa who will not have to live with these people any more.

Is anyone surprised? Who elected this obscenity? 77 million obese racists voted for Drumpf. they are getting what they voted for. And they will vote for him again, despite any economic or physical harm he visits on them.
