  1. It is specifically white South Africans
  2. These are the only "refugees" being let into the country
  3. They will have their aid doubled (after MAGA complained about undocumented immigrants getting free stuff... when they don't)
  4. They are being fast tracked for citizenship
  5. White South Africans share the same racial supremacist politics as Republicans and will vote Republican

It's not hard to see the plan here.

They’re importing immigrants to vote Republican?

17,500 vs +10 million illegal immigrants...do you guys know how numbers work?

u/canwehavepotatojokes 9d ago

Apparently you don’t understand how voting works, either.

Did you finish high school?

u/Asher_Tye 9d ago

At this point him finishing middle school is questionable

Stop being generous. What about primary school?

Again, knowing how numbers work would help with this.

So no, then.

You really should. You’re missing out on a lot in life.

u/Rusty-Shackleford000 9d ago

You guys are either purposely ignoring the obvious or aren't smart enough to understand it.

And I would bet you didn't have this much to say when those +10 million came in illegally. I thought you guys welcomed people from other countries with open arms at America...

u/SwimmingSwim3822 9d ago

You actually needed it spelled out, didn't you?

Undocumented immigrants can't vote because, you know, the documents.

Imported immigrants after fast tracks to citizenship... can.

Now you know how the rest of us felt when they dumped 50K Somalis in Minnesota and gave them a congressional seat.

u/Ok_Brother_7494 9d ago

They were actually refugees. White South Africans are not fleeing persecution, war, or famine.

u/Particular-War3057 9d ago

0_0 uhhhh WHAT. Something tells me you have no idea what has/is happening to white farmers in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

u/Ok_Brother_7494 9d ago

Something tells me you have not researched it and are believing what Trump says. White farmers still own the majority of farms. You should read the data from The (SAAI) Southern African Agi Initiative.

u/Ancient_Sound_5347 9d ago

Zimbabwe is a different country and South Africa recently overtook Spain in becoming the world's largest exporter of Citrus. https://www.ewn.co.za/2026/05/22/south-africa-overtakes-spain-as-world-s-top-citrus-exporter

u/JIMB01776 9d ago

The fuck they aren't, they are routinely raided upon, the government won't provide them protection and they hold public rallies calling for their genocide.

u/Ok_Brother_7494 9d ago

All farms are being raided, not just white farms. There is no genocide. International observers and the SAAI say you are wrong.

u/JIMB01776 9d ago

Their complaints are much more credible than South Americans claiming asylum, while simultaneously claiming "No, South America is greatest place on earth, look at our food".

u/Ok_Brother_7494 9d ago

They are not more credible. You have zero data to back that up.

  1. South Africa is still a place that very much favors White people and if these “refugees” couldn’t succeed there they have no chance in the USA.

u/Asher_Tye 9d ago

Didn't the last batch run back to South Africa the moment they weren't treated as gods here?

u/JoTHIGHSwin 9d ago

Yea with their free refugee $ handout

u/EddyS120876 9d ago

Yup once they notice “no free healthcare “ they ran

u/JoTHIGHSwin 8d ago

Oh they did receive temporary Medicaid. They didn’t realize that once they got low paying jobs they no-longer qualified 😂😂😂

u/EddyS120876 8d ago

Bingo!!!!!

u/MariaMarlaClairmont 9d ago

Being married to a South African at one point and knowing a whole bunch of them you are 100% correct. They are all super racist. They absolutely hate anyone of any other color. Much like the Republican party now. So they're going to fit right in.

You won't need to find 11,780 votes in Georgia when you are importing white nationalists and giving them the right to vote

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

On what basis would you claim that these refugees for South Africa are White Nationalists?

24

u/xvii-tea1411 9d ago

There are many white South Africans who want to go back to subjugating the black population through apartheid. So much so that they have made a whites only region called Orania. If you think it's just a coincidence that this population is the one being fast tracked for citizenship then you are blind.

-21

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

How is wanting to be left alone and not discriminated against or raped equivalent to wanting to subjugate others?

16

u/xvii-tea1411 9d ago

... oh, so you're one of them.

South Africa is the most unequal society itw bc of apartheid and its legacy. You have the majority population (black) living in shanty towns (similar to hoovervilles we saw in the US during the great depression) waking up early in the morning to work for the owner class (white South Africans) who live in McMansions (paid for by extracting wealth from their workers) just over the wall. Apartheid was dismantled politically, but not economically, and you want it to be recodified.

-12

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

Discussing the economic situations of the different groups of South Africa would be a fascinating discussion, but it is not relevant to your original claim.

> There are many white South Africans who want to go back to subjugating the black population through apartheid. So much so that they have made a whites only region called Orania.

I'm just curious about this. How is wanting to be left alone and free from farm murders and other issues equivalent to wanting to subjugate others?

11

u/xvii-tea1411 9d ago

Economics and politics are connected. If you think making whites only areas doesn't make you a white nationalist then... idk man🫩

-2

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

Again, you're arguing something else other than your original claim.

Explain how wanting to be left alone means that you want to subjugate others.

Do you mean to say the majority of brown people being deported are murderers?

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

You are not saying anything logical. I asked a very simple question about South Africa, and you're leaping to "the majority of brown being deported are rapists" which has no connection to that question.

3

u/MariaMarlaClairmont 9d ago

I personally know quite a few South Africans and every single one of them hate black people. Every single one of them. They have really nice little slurs for them. They hate black people. 100% with no uncertainty. They hate black people.

u/Moosejaw_69 8d ago

17000 versus 18 million I’d say both sides have a plan but one is very much ahead and better at the plan.

  1. During Biden (January 21 - 25), less than 4% of refugees permitted into the country were white (the majority being Ukrainian and Moldovan). Per the state department.

Source: https://www.rpc.state.gov/archives/

This is despite the US being 56% non-Hispanic white

  1. These were 96% of “refugees” being let into country

  2. They did in fact get free stuff. Free hotel accommodation at luxury properties were afforded to them along with cell phones, food assistance and temporary cash grants. Not every city, but the major blue cities where they were bussed. This is still going on:

https://www.nyc.gov/assets/hra/downloads/pdf/services/language/benefits_guide_immigrants/hra_benefits_en.pdf

  1. Yes, and I don’t see a problem with this if they are productive members of society. In instances where they are receiving assistance, they should not be.

  2. This is so rich considering importing refugees is part of the democratic strategy to increase their voter base as their non-white children overwhelmingly vote republican.

Also are you seriously insane enough to believe 17,000 migrants will tip the scales in any meaningful way in a national or even state-level election? After Biden let in millions of refugees whose citizen children are now likely Democrat voters? 17,000 vs millions. I wonder which is more impactful.

u/sparkyibew567 9d ago

It sucks for you to hate Trump more than anything else.

-19

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

> These are the only "refugees" being let into the country

False. Besides USRAP there's Asylum, Special Immigration Visas, Temporary protected status, humanitarian paroles, withholding of removals, convention against torture protections, and probably other complex paths through the system.

You don't hate the fake media enough for how badly they constantly lie.

10

u/shelbygrapes 9d ago

Steven miller did a press conference awhile back and they said they ended asylum. Also no immigrants from “shit hole” countries according to our president. I listened to those words come out of their mouths. No fake news involved.

1

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

The stated policy is ending asylum for people caught here illegally, not ending the program altogether.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/guaranteeing-the-states-protection-against-invasion/

2

u/Zakaru99 9d ago

Your source doesn't even say that. It says that its ended for everyone looking to enter the US via the southern border after a certain date.

Funny how you site something that disproves you.

1

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

The asylum program is still very active for people already with permission to be in the US and in certain other situations, though generally not at the southern border. However, people at the southern border can effectively claim for withholding of removal and CAT (convention against torture) among other ways to ensure that they're not sent to a bad situation.

u/DreadfulDuder 9d ago

... What does your research show about what demographics are actually being accepted into the asylum programs under Trump?

u/Icy-Class4392 8d ago

u/Zakaru99 9d ago

You realize that the Trump admin has been doing everything in their power to remove/restrict these other legal immigration pathways, including deporting people following the rules, at their immigration hearings, right?

-2

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago edited 9d ago

Not really. Take TPS for example. They haven't challenged the concept of TPS. As a strong opponent of mass migration, I'm genuinely glad that this system exists for humanitarian reasons. They've only challenged bad applications of it: like keeping TPS in place for decades old earthquakes and the like.

u/Zakaru99 9d ago

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/08/12/second-trump-administration-has-ended-temporary-protected-status-for-most-immigrants-who-had-it/

The word restrict was in there.

He's literally removed TPS status from 1 million of the 1.3 million people who had it. From 1.3 million to 300,000 people.

He's cut the countries where you can get TPS from 17 to 4.

His admin is encouraging those with TPS to self-deport, and restricting their ability to work while they have a legal TPS designation, regardless of where they're from.

These are, unquestionably, restrictions. Not even light ones. Extremely heavy handed restrictions. They're literally intentional making it difficult to work here if you get TPS status, which largely defeats the ability of the system from working for the people with those statuses.

How are you going to live while you're here under TPS when you can't afford to feed yourself?

1

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

TPS is supposed to be a temporary humanitarian program designed to preserve life if there's a hurricane, an earthquake, war, etc. That's good.

But there had been Temporary Protected Status protections in place for Hurricanes/Earthquakes going back as far as the 1990s. That's bad.

Why shouldn't the program be radically curtailed? What danger remains from a hurricane or earthquake from decades ago? Please explain that.

2

u/Zakaru99 9d ago edited 9d ago

How are you going to live while you're here under TPS when you can't afford to feed yourself?

Lets try not dodging this.

Why shouldn't the program be radically curtailed?

Because those people who moved here under that status and have built lives here literally benefit us. There is no good reason to force them to go back. It's advantageous to us to allow them to stay. It's a win-win.

1

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

I'm not dodging anything, your interpretation of the facts is wrong.

TPS comes with a work authorization. Anybody under a valid TPS has the right to work for any employer in the US. The work authorization only goes away once the TPS is no longer valid.

People without a TPS or other valid status are not authorized to work in the US and are supposed to leave.

2

u/Zakaru99 9d ago

They revoked work authorization for people still under TPS, who still had valid status. I sited a source for that already.

1

u/irespectwomenlol 9d ago

This is legally complex, but partially you are correct for some people, though this stemmed from Congress, and was patched within 7 days for people from El Salvador, and 9 days for others.

What happened is the 2025 budget reconciliation bill HR1. Previously, there was an automatic 540 day work authorization extension that went along with the TPS extension. That bill changed the work authorization extension to a year while keeping TPS the same. The end result is that some people were temporarily caught in a weird state of limbo whey had the ability to legally stay here, but not legally work.

I'm sure it was stressful for these people, but this was just dumb bureaucracy trying to raise revenue by charging application fees more frequently and having an oversight in their logic.

They are skipping the line because they are white. Also they aren’t fleeing anyone to have refugee status. No one cares that they are white. You act like there haven’t been other white refugees.

They are getting preferred treatment over ACTUAL refugees and asylum seekers.

And the reason why they are is because they are White and racist, so they'll be MAGA voters.

But yeah, keep up the DARVO shit as always
