Trump refugee plan seeks 7,000 Afrikaners — and virtually no one else

The administration’s rush to process thousands of White South Africans coincides with plans for overall admissions set as low as 7,500.

The Trump administration’s plan to overhaul the U.S. refugee resettlement process, including a drastic reduction in overall annual admissions, coincides with a concerted effort to prepare thousands of White South Africans to relocate to the United States through the system, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.

If the administration succeeds, almost all people admitted to the U.S. as refugees — as many as 7,000 from a maximum potential pool of 7,500 — could be Afrikaners, a group not traditionally eligible for the program but one that President Donald Trump says has been tyrannized by South Africa’s Black majority. The remainder may be chosen because of their ability to speak English or their views on “free speech,” people familiar with the matter said, upending a system that for decades had taken in people fleeing conflict and persecution from all over the world regardless of race or language.

The State Department has set a goal of processing 2,000 Afrikaners for resettlement by the end of October and an additional 4,000 by the end of November, according to two people familiar with the matter, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the administration’s objectives.

Shortly after entering office, Trump issued an executive order temporarily halting the admission of most refugees, including those already vetted by the U.S. government, pending a review. Trump made an exception for Afrikaners who he has said face racial discrimination, a characterization rejected as unmoored from reality by South African officials and some Afrikaners themselves.........................................

Seems this chap was used to having a mail or cook do his house work???


...............Charl Kleinhaus, a South African farmer who arrived in the U.S. in the spring, was resettled in Buffalo but within days moved for a job he had found in South Dakota. In doing so, Kleinhaus — whose acerbic social media posts have faced backlash — relinquished the housing assistance and other resources he was eligible to receive through the U.S. government.

In an interview shared later on YouTube, Kleinhaus, who did not respond to requests for comment, said that a lack of domestic help was the biggest challenge for him. “There’s no kitchen lady you call to sweep the house, or clean the house, or stuff like that,” he said in the interview. “You do the work yourself.”
