These are highly educated, highly skilled refugees for the most part.
And they largely speak English.
So integrating to American life is a little bit different for them as opposed to other populations that have come in the past.
So when they were exposed to these videos, they just said they were laughing.
They thought it was a joke.
And it was just shocking to see that this population is being taught, again, how to use a toilet and to shower.
Now, we should also note that Switchboard paints Afrikaners as settlers who took part in, quote, displacing Native peoples who adopted a sense of nationalism through collective suffering at the hands of the British, in their own words.
And this is from a guide that they are giving to caseworkers who are supposed to be helping resettle these Afrikaners.
The guide totally neglects to mention that these Afrikaners are facing racial persecution and the killings of South African farmers that have happened en masse in their country.
It really just shows that they're adopting this hostile tone towards this population that they are purporting to help.
The Trump administration has made it a priority to push for the denaturalization of foreign-born U.S.
citizens as part of its war on fraud and a crackdown on migrant crime.
This list is probably the largest that we've seen of the Trump administration's pursuit of denaturalization, and I'll give you some examples from it.
One of the individuals was a Cuban-born US citizen who ran about 30 physical therapy clinics in Florida that fraudulently billed about $36 million for services that were never even given or were just not medically necessary.
Another is a Roman Catholic priest who was born in Colombia, and he later used his position in the church to abuse and groom a minor who was attending the church.
And as we've reported on this show before, it's very difficult for the federal government to secure denaturalization because they would need to prove that these individuals concealed a crime when they were applying for citizenship.
It's a really shocking report from The New York Times that President Biden was warned, actually,
before he even assumed office, while on the campaign trail, that some of his policies that were really open to illegal immigration would lead to political chaos.
And that's exactly what happened.
We saw that unfold at the border and we saw it become a top issue for voters in the next election, which many attribute to President Trump's victory.
