4,496 out of 4,499 refugees admitted to the United States since October have been Afrikaners

The idea that white people are the biggest contemporary victims of systemic bias and unfair treatment is the central pillar of Trumpism.
President Donald Trump’s overhaul of US refugee policies has created a major shift in the number and nationalities of people admitted to the country, US government data shows.
Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees were resettled in the US, according to the Refugee Processing Center. All, except three from Afghanistan, were South African.
In the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration, which started in October 2023, 125,000 people were accepted from 85 countries.
Last year, Trump halted all refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones, but allowed Afrikaners, a white minority group he said was persecuted, to seek resettlement. South Africa objected to his characterisation.
In announcing the change, Trump said it would help strengthen national security and public safety.
Priority was to be given to Afrikaner South Africans and “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands”, according to an announcement.
Diplomatic tensions between Washington and Pretoria have been rising since Trump returned to the White House.
Just over a year ago, South Africa’s ambassador in the US, Ebrahim Rasool, was expelled after accusing Trump of “mobilising a supremacism” and trying to “project white victimhood as a dog whistle”.
I suppose letting in three Afghanis as well is kind of like living a penny tip at a restaurant. Probably Stephen Miller’s idea of humor. ETA: According to commenter Warren Terra, Radley Balko posted that the three refugees from Afghanistan had their status subsequently revoked by the Trump administration. I think it’s important to note here that all Republicans are scum, no exceptions, not even that guy who is so much fun to play golf with.
I’ve mentioned this a few times in the past decade, but if somebody were to read only one thing about Donald Trump, I would recommend this essay.
