Media Leftists Melt Down Over Afrikaner Refugees Who Landed in U.S.
The far-left Mainstream Media collapsed in hysterics yesterday when the first Afrikaner refugees from South Africa landed in the United States.
The Fourth Estate’s worthies said the threatened white South Africans don’t deserve refugee status, despite calls for their murder from a top politician in the once-safe country. President Trump’s admission of the refugees proves that his administration has a “white nationalist project,” one commentator said, while a former high-level State Department official in the Obama administration called Trump’s invitation “moral ugliness” because the refugees are white.
Worse still, they are descendants of white supremacists and can leave the country if they don’t like it.
Why They’re Here
As The New American reported yesterday, Trump invited the refugees in an executive order, “Addressing Egregious Actions of The Republic of South Africa.”
The order cited a law in South Africa that permits the expropriation of land from white farmers, and told officials to “prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.”
“Farmers are being killed,” Trump told reporters, The New York Times reported. “They happen to be white. Whether they are white or Black makes no difference to me. White farmers are being brutally killed and the land is being confiscated in South Africa.”
Though the far-left media dispute Trump’s claims, some 4,000 farm attacks have left more than 800 dead since 2010.
Thus did 59 Afrikaners — the descendants of 17th-century Dutch settlers who landed at Table Bay on the Cape of Good Hope — arrive here yesterday.
And that infuriated the hate-Trump far-left.
The Episcopal Church immediately announced that it would refuse to help resettle them.
The Commentary
On CNN former Biden-Obama aide Ashley Allison said if the Afrikaners don’t like discrimination, they can leave the country. But not for the United States, of course.
“The people who are native to that land deserve their rightful land back” but “that is not what the Afrikaners actually want to have happen, which are the white Africans,” she said:
And so who are not originally from Africa, who colonized South Africa.… And so that is what they are saying is discrimination. Now if the constitution in South Africa is discriminatory, they have their checks and balances in that land just like we do.… So if the Afrikaners don’t actually like the land they can leave that country.… [T]hey can actually leave and even go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany?
