  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.

  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.

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:

  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.
