The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

NYT: "President Trump moved ahead on Monday with plans to allow 10,000 more white South Africans into the United States as refugees, even as the program remains closed off to people from every other country in the world, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

In a report submitted to Congress on Monday, Mr. Trump has proposed lifting the record-low refugee admissions level of 7,500 to 17,500, reserving the additional openings for Afrikaners, who are primarily of Dutch descent.

The administration argued that an “emergency refugee situation” in South Africa warrants the expansion of Mr. Trump’s carve-out for Afrikaners, which has reoriented the U.S. refugee program into essentially a pipeline for members of a white minority to reach the United States.

The government has calculated that the additional 10,000 refugee slots for Afrikaners will cost roughly $100 million, according to the report submitted to Congress.


What was it the right said about Dem's welcoming open borders so immigrants could vote?
