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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
