Trump Admin Clarifies: Only WHITE Anti-Semites Will Be Granted Asylum In This Country
from the whites-fight-for-white-flight dept
For years, the DHS has been expanding its intrusive surveillance of anyone attempting to enter this country. (It has also expanded this to include people leaving the country.)
The current onboarding procedure for US entry includes demands for account passwords and deep dives into devices carried by migrants, visitors, asylum seekers, and anyone else CBP officers can talk into letting them wander around in their digital lives.
This intrusiveness has now become an anti-wrongthink imperative under Trump during his second term in office. In addition to the reckless and needlessly cruel mass expulsions of anyone appearing to have come from a nation south of the US, there’s a new angle: the expulsion and/or denial of entry to anyone who doesn’t agree with the administration’s views on the Palestine-Israel conflict. Hence this announcement from the DHS back in April of this year:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced it will begin screening immigrants’ social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The screenings will affect people applying for permanent residence status as well as foreigners affiliated with educational institutions. The policy will go into effect immediately.
In a statement issued Wednesday morning, the Department of Homeland Security said it will “protect the homeland from extremists and terrorist aliens, including those who support antisemitic terrorism, violent antisemitic ideologies and antisemitic terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, or [the Houthis].”
In other words, if you spoke out against Israel’s occupation of Palestine or any of the actions it has taken during this conflict, you’re probably an antisemite and/or a terrorist. The DHS would act swiftly to ensure only migrants siding with the US’s position on this conflict were allowed into this country, and only if it couldn’t think of another reason to deny them entry.
Of course, this is all based on a deliberate misunderstanding by Trump and his administration. Disagreeing with Israel’s actions and/or supporting Palestinian independence is — and never has been — antisemitism. At best, it suggested this administration was fine with other forms of bigotry, but simply would not tolerate anyone who thought Palestinians had a right to exist.
As it turns out, it’s even more hypocritical than is considered usual for this administration. The Big Boss has bought into the conspiracy theory that there’s some sort of race war targeting white people in South Africa — something that can only be attributed to the whitest Afrikaner to ever run a dodgy government agency, Elon Musk.
Musk is a huge conspiracy theorist, and Donald Trump seemingly hasn’t met a conspiracy theorist or conspiracy theory he hasn’t liked. This brain cloud masquerading as a presidential administration is now not nearly as concerned about antisemitism… at least not when it’s being spewed by one of theirs.
One of the white Afrikaners brought into the US as refugees by the Trump administration this week has a history of antisemitic social media posts, despite the White House using alleged antisemitism as a rationale for deporting pro-Palestinian protesters.
Charl Kleinhaus posted on X in 2023 that “Jews are untrustworthy and a dangerous group.” In another post last fall, he shared a rightwing, nationalist YouTube video that was later removed, titled: “‘We’ll shoot ILLEGAL Immigrants!’ – Poland’s Illegal Islamic immigrant solution,” with clapping emojis.
A number of Kleinhaus’s posts also promote the conspiracy theory that white people in South Africa are being particularly persecuted.
So much for vetting the migrants. I guess there’s no reason to suspect a white guy might be a problem, not when there’s so many Venezuelans to send to El Salvador. Kleinhaus has since confirmed those posts came from his accounts, but not without deploying the only excuse less believable than “my account was hacked.”
[H]e insisted to the Times that he was not antisemitic and claimed to have written a post in error while on medication.
Ah, the Barr defense. And note that Kleinhaus only claimed “a” post (singular!) was written “in error” while all drugged up on whatever form of off-label self-medication is currently popular within the South African white trash community. Cue the goose meme:
I mean, the report listed at least two antisemitic tweets. And then it said this dude spent a lot of time promoting the “white men are the real victims here in post-apartheid South Africa” conspiracy theory. Blaming a single post on drug use isn’t the win Kleinhaus seems to think it is. Then again, the real win is getting a free pass to come to America to make it worse than it already is because the whole oppression thing is too hard back home.
And here’s how the DHS is handling this hypocrisy: by pretending it’s not even happening.
A senior DHS official said in a statement: “The Department of Homeland Security vets all refugee applicants. Any claims of misconduct are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action will be taken as necessary. DHS does not comment on individual application status.”
It’s a statement that says nothing one way or the other. It has all the distinctive features of a vacant apartment’s walls. It’s the color beige described in 32 words, each one more meaningless than the last.
We don’t expect honesty from our government PR reps. We certainly don’t expect it from Kristi Noem or her boss, whose eyelids and soles are far whiter than even this Afrikaner antisemite can ever hope to be. This is how things work in the United States: white is right, even when it’s wrong. The only thing that’s changed is that this administration can’t even be bothered to offer up a credible excuse for its racist policies and actions.

A sign of the times
It is a sign of Trump times that aliens that feel de-entitled after the racist government that they supported had been (peacefully) overthrown are called refugees. Even when there’s not the slightest indication that whites are systematically threatened or attacked in South Africa.
If this administration actually cared about antisemitism, it would take a hard look at right-wingers who are saying that pro-Palestinian support in the U.S. is a result of left-wing billionaire Jews funding that support. On the surface, it’s about left-wing billionaires, but scratch that surface and you’ll find the antisemitism.
You can also find it in every claim that being against the murder of Palestinians is antisemitic. The claim itself implies that the inherent nature of Jewish people—especially Israeli Jews—calls them to commit murder. Few ideas are as antisemitic, and as widespread amongst American supporters of the Gaza genocide, as that one.
Re: 'Look, the people I'm defending are absolutely HORRIBLE at their core, so...'

I’m reminded of the argument I’ve seen raised a number of times that anti-police corruption is itself anti-police, a similar case where the ‘defense’ is more damning than the criticism as in both cases it implies that a terrible action/attribute is so integral to the group that going after the terrible part is indistinguishable from going after the group.
Re:
Well, the Ols Testament, as some call it, seems to support that notion, but it is just literature chock full more rhetoric.
It’s interesting to see that rhetoric both asserted and denied depending on the circumstances just that moment.
Re: Re:
There are different traditions as to how literally to take the Old Testament in view of its age and conflicting gospel.
That holds both for Christian and Jewish faith families. Jewish communities constituting significant percentages of modern Israel’s populace promote the genocidal message of the Old Testament regarding how to deal with non-members of the Chosen People.
Banking on their support is a strategy working for Netanyahu to postpone elections. Like in the U.S., a mixture about brazen denial of what is happening and exploiting chauvinistic leanings and intolerance is enough to keep himself from getting thrown out and prosecuted for his crimes.
Accountability is not in high demand in today’s political climate, but you have to hold the people, in particular those enabling their excesses, responsible for their government since nobody else will.
And there is a large religious component involved with that enablement, actually both in U.S. and Israel. The availability of willingness to hold one’s government to account for what it is tasked with is an important motivation for the separation of state and religion. That makes it harder to pervert governmental structures against the interests of their constituents.
Israel’s current government is committing atrocities against civilian populations and hiding behind “antisemitism” and other ridiculosities for their justification. Yes, antisemitism may be on the rise again in the wake of what Netanyahu are trying to justify and cohere by drawing on religious imagery. And the people to blame for that are Netanyahu and his ilk, not the ones protesting against Palestinian genocide.
Re:
The antisemites are inside the government denying or minimizing the Holocaust and are very comfortable with nazi symbology and paraphernalia. Zionism has long relations with nazism dating back from the 30s.
Disclaimer: Zionists are a portion of all Jewish people like nazis were a fraction of Germans. The attempt to conflate zionism with Judaism is despicable. There’s plenty of opposition against zionists among the Jewish.
Re: Re:
The grand irony here is that most American Zionists are actually Christians.
Re: Re:
Disclaimer: the phrase Zionist is derived from one of the most antisemitic tracts of all time and, regardless of how you feel about Netanyahu, is itself shorthand antisemitism.
Re:
Exactly! The right-wing are not very good at logic, I’ve found. They’re incapable of following a train of thought, an argument, to its conclusion. That argument – “The claim itself implies that the inherent nature of Jewish people—especially Israeli Jews—calls them to commit murder.” – when you boil it down as you’ve done, Stephen T. Stone, has a name – Blood Libel – and it’s one of the more hideous forms of antisemitism I’m aware of.
Re: it cares
It cares. WHy else would the dear leader host people like Kanye West and Nick Fuentes at his Palm Beach trash palace?
'It was said by a while person on our side, and we agree with them so...'

On the contrary, it’s a statement much more damning than a non-answer because it implies that they vetted the person and found nothing wrong with their comments about how the jews are untrustworthy and dangerous or that people should murder immigrants.
Re:
A shitload of American right-wingers are raised to believe those things like they’re raised to believe in God. The problem is that enough of the people who believe those things now sit in the halls of power. Shit, I’m surprised Kristi Noem hasn’t dressed up in a stereotypical game hunter outfit and gone out to the border with a rifle for “Immigrant Season”.
Re: No surprise there.
The Afrikaners here are very much Christian Nationalists. Also, there were six-thousand-nine-hundred-thirty-three murders in South Africa last year. The number of white farmers murdered last year is… one. Black South Africans bear the brunt of violent crime here.

Re: Re: Re:
Did you think you actually said something here, AC?
I want to believe the lesson that will be learned from this is “sifting through people’s social media posts is not an acceptable method of vetting asylum claims” but yes I recognize the hypocrisy and racism in only doing it to people with certain skin colors, and that’s awful too, but I just hope that the focus stays on correcting the actual root problem instead of making sure everyone gets abused equally.
This wasn’t clear already?
Trump and the MAGA cult glad hand with antisemites like Ian Smith, Stew Peters, Nick Fuentes all the time.
The Heritage Foundation’s “Esther Project” to criminalize criticism of Isreal as terrorist support completely is silent on right wing antisemitism.
They outright cater to the soft antisemitism of the Evangelicals who support Isreal as a means to hasten the Second Coming (that doesn’t end well for the Jews), by naming Huckabee as Ambassador.
So they’re fine with it…

DOGGIE government agencie.
TFTFY.
I’ve read somewhere that tourism has suffered a hit already in the US. We were planning to go to Orlando (yea, Disney) in a big family somewhere around 2027. We are talking about 10 people. It’s been postponed indefinitely.
Everybody is afraid of going. And I’ve been seeing other people postponing, giving up or, when they can’t simply not go, terrified of being randomly detained. None of these people have even the slightest chance of staying there illegally.
Way to go, MAGA.
As far as device searches all you have to do is use a secure wiping app that wipes everything clean and then reinstall the os
When I had my online radio station it was company policy to wipe all station owned devices before travel, especially when entering the United States or Britain. CBP and HM Customs would not find anything we did not know about.
This was also done when we covered a couple of international sporting events in north korea
Because the dprk requires foreigners to use Sim cards from the nortk korean government that also means unlocking your phone. By wiping any evidence I did that in north korea I avoided dmca problems the next time I entered the usa.
I broke no laws erasing evidence I unlocked my phone in the dprk
Re:
That’s not a dmca thing.
Two things you can do when exiting by car
First, put an infrared license plate frame on your plates to prevent aplrs from reading your plates
Second, adjust the front sun visors to hide your face from cameras
I do the latter to avoid problems with red light cameras just in case the light goes red before getting through an intersection.
There is no law that makes it illegal to do those things
What happens when you SCARE all of them
“the expulsion and/or denial of entry to anyone who doesn’t agree with the administration’s views on the Palestine-Israel conflict.”
Keep Scaring the Rabbit and you will never find his hole/Burrow.
I had a Person walk passed me, declaring Mexicans were Devils and this and that. I paused him by saying “You are Wrong”. He looked at me and I told him that over 90% of Mexico is Catholic. the Persons Jaw Dropped.
I believe you left out a word in one sentence
Did you mean:
“Disagreeing with Israel’s actions and/or supporting Palestinian independence is not — and never has been — antisemitism.”
Re: Worst part is
Israel Never Acknowledged or Followed the treaties Created.

For the sake of accuracy, Elon Musk is not Afrikaner. He’s South African of British descent, while Afrikaners are of Dutch descent and primarily speak Afrikaans. They’re both ‘white’ in the sense that they’re of European descent but in South Africa they’re distinct ethnicities.
you misspelled “clot”
