Trump's exception to refugee ban seems about white
Donald Trump has made it clear that refugees aren’t welcome in the United States—unless they’re white.
Despite suspending all refugee admissions into the country as soon as he was sworn in this past January, the president and his state department bros made an exception and welcomed a planeload of 59 white Afrikaners Monday, many of whom are farmers of Dutch descent who settled in South Africa. They were greeted by Deputy Secretary of State Christoper Landau and Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar with open arms.
“We respect what you have had to deal with these past few years,” Landau said to the families as they waved small American flags and donned camouflage jackets.
Landau joined Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in boosting the false narrative that white settlers in South Africa have been enduring racial discrimination and even violence from the government and Black South Africans.
