One State Department official noted that they spoke to these Afrikaners specifically about assimilation. They said that that's really important for their resettlements. Here's some footage of their arrival provided by the State Department.

Now, there were only 59 or so refugees this time, but the State Department did say that in the coming months, we will welcome more Afrikaners to the U.S.

Yeah, well, one of the refugees said that she was attacked on her farm four different times. She said that Afrikaners are being blamed and targeted over past apartheid in South Africa. Hundreds of people have been killed on farms in just the last four years or so. Not all of those have been white, but many were.

Addressing these refugees, the State Department said that Afrikaners face unjust racial discrimination in South Africa, and they added that no one should be subject to violent attacks because of their ethnicity. Trump's executive order also notes of the recently enacted Expropriation Act, which the order said enables the South African government to seize Afrikaners' farmland without compensation.

Here's White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller recently talking about the persecution of whites in South Africa.

As noted by Miller, there's been some really shocking anti-white rhetoric in South Africa. Here's Julius Malema, a current member of the National Assembly of South Africa. He's openly talking about how there will likely come a time to start slaughtering whites.

Yeah, so the argument on the left is that Trump is favoring these refugees because they're white. They've cited the president very early on halting most of the refugee programs that were established under President Biden. Trump's main justification there is that these programs were not safe.

They couldn't properly vet these refugees, especially from nations that are considered high risk to the U.S. Here's Stephen Miller defending the administration giving out this refugee status.

So the pushback is coming from some in the media, Democrats, and interestingly, even a Christian nonprofit that's supposed to help resettle refugees. The Episcopal Migration Ministries was asked to resettle these South Africans, and they refused.

Justifying the refusal, the nonprofit cited the church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and their historic ties to the Anglican Church of Southern Africa.
