Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

That data is backed up by the US Refugee Admissions Program, a federal public-private interagency collaboration program that works on refugee resettlement.> …

A presidential memo from September announced Trump’s intentions: that the refugees accepted “shall primarily be among Afrikaners from South Africa” and “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.”

The Trump administration sees Afrikaners, an South African ethnic group descended primarily from European settlers, as victims of white “genocide”—a racist conspiracy theory promoted by many on the far right, notably Elon Musk.

    Disclaimer, I don’t think harris would have been as bad as Trump. But this is the US.

    If Harris won, do you think we’d be engaged in a war with Iran right now

    Yes, Israel is America’s ally and this is Israel’s war. The choice would be between letting Israel get absolutely destroyed which would have unironically happened by now if there weren’t 3 carrier groups trying to intercept missiles and drones, or going to war with Iran.

    that the Epstein files would be as blocked as they are?

    Yes, as an AG she spent her time refusing to charge pedos and disproportionately arresting (and arguing against the conditional release of) minorities. She worked with a know pedophile for four fucking years and called him one of the best people she knew.

    Do you think she would have signed a bunch of EOs that are illegal to enrich herself and her family?

    She went fairly middle class Californian to one of the richest women on Earth by the time she ended her tenure as Senator. You tell me. Maybe they would’ve been legal like how all other presidents massively enriched themselves in office. Maybe that’d be the difference.

    Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people?

    It’d be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.

    The main difference is it would still be comfortable for the ever shrinking middle class, and it would be quiet since liberals by and large don’t listen to unapproved news sources for information. Just like Obama’s kills of US citizens across the world, just like Biden’s record number of child arrests, many of whom are still detained in “Trump’s” ICE facilities (or just missing).

      Oof, this is certainly a take. I’ll go ahead and just disagree and we can go our separate ways on this one.

        Material analysis does tend to go contrary to liberal fantasy. Have a good life full of surprise and wonder at how the blue tie doesn’t materially change things.

      just making shit up.

      not in the top 100 - https://www.celebritynetworth.com/list/top-100-richest-women-in-the-world/

      fuck, she’s barely a multi-millionaire if you don’t count her shared assets with her millionaire husband.

      https://fortune.com/2024/10/26/how-much-is-kamala-harris-net-worth-money-salary-president/

      nowhere anywhere near ‘one of the richest women on earth’

      so easy to check, what the fuck mate do you believe everything fox news or whatever shit source you got this garbage from tells you?

      No. Previously when Israel has said “We’re going up against Iran next week, join us or it’ll be a shitshow”, the US has had the sense to say “No deal”, and Israel folded. But somehow the “Art of the deal” president doesn’t get this, so went all-in with Israel. Dumb as a rock.

      It’d be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.

      You think that under Harris, more immigrants would have gotten murdered than during the massive ICE push, where they hired thousands of ill-qualified goons, hardly trained them, and let them loose on the population? That’s bizarre.
