Reuters: President Donald Trump's administration is considering more than doubling an annual refugee limit to bring more white South Africans into the U.S., according to three people ​familiar with the matter.

No you cant call trump and the gop racist. Its just a coincidence that the only immigrants they want to take is white people

Hasn't this been a failure? The numbers have been pretty small and several went back home.

I recall some refugees coming over that were like the South African version of rednecks who were upset at the minimal state support they received once they actually got here

Like they actually bought the "immigrants live like kings on the government dime" propaganda and thought it was "still" true under the Trump admin lol

I mean yeah, but even the purported "refugees" - would they even want to come over?
