Trump Rolls Out White Carpet For White Migrants

from the ranch-dressing-ass-immigration-policy dept

Roughly a year ago — as Trump was trying to turn anti-genocide protests into deportable antisemitism — his administration made it clear it was only willing to support white people with antisemitic views. The administration threw some anti-Israel filters into the mix for DHS vetting of incoming migrants, blending them with the anti-Trump filters that equated opposing Trump and his open bigotry with hating America.

But the administration gave some antisemites a free pass… if they were white enough.

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.

Trump apparently believes white South Africans are so extremely persecuted (after decades of subjugating Black South Africans), they deserve to avail themselves of everything offered by the Land of the Free. Trump wants incoming whites so badly he’s willing to rewrite the rules to flood the zone with new bigots.

The U.S. aims to process 4,500 refugee applications from white South Africans per month, far above President Donald Trump’s stated refugee program cap, and is installing trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to support the effort, a U.S. contracting document said.

The new target, contained in a previously unreported document from the U.S. State Department dated January 27, signals a push to ramp up admissions from South Africa, while refugee applications from other areas have been severely curtailed.

Notably, this isn’t a free pass for any South African. The document apparently extends this to whites only, which is a hell of a thing to do in this day and age. I have to imagine even the most racist of Afrikaners might balk a bit at boarding a plane where non-whites are being ejected over whatever country the plane flies over on its way to Land of Opportunity.

No one ever said this administration is clever. But it’s not accurate to call it stupid. It’s something else entirely: a collection of shitbirds who are so contemptuous of everyone else in the nation that it will stroke itself off publicly and shrug off complaints with non-sequiturs liberally peppered with phrases like “leftist media” or “activist judges.”

This administration will not only piss down your leg and tell you it’s raining, but swing by later to bitch about people “illegally” benefiting from the uninvited precipitation. It’s shit stacked on shit stacked on shit topped off by wedding cake figurines standing on the necks of fallen lawn jockeys.

If you want this to be your nation, please get the fuck out. Get your Fourth Reich on elsewhere, you absolute mooks. And I dare you explain how THIS isn’t pure racism, especially when you’ve gone all in on the “get the foreigners out” purge this government has been engaged in since Trump returned to the Oval Office.

Re:

You are correct. They are so obsessed with taking away the rights of others by pretending to be coldly realistic. No, saying someone doesn’t have a right to health isn’t realism. It’s hatred.

Now, they start embracing neo-Nazism and a hatred to others to a level akin to what the 9/11 hijackers held to the US.

Racism is mandatory

And I dare you explain how THIS isn’t pure racism, especially when you’ve gone all in on the “get the foreigners out” purge this government has been engaged in since Trump returned to the Oval Office.

You need the racism, or “getting the foreigners out” would almost exclusively benefit indigenuous Americans. They aren’t particularly revered in the U.S.

They are, there have been many deaths.

(after decades of subjugating Black South Africans)

….soooo, are you trying to say past wrongs justify current evils? (also apartheid was super bad, but not a proto-genocide, which is what is happening to the whites, but the more important thing is that you shall not justify current evil with past evil)

The document apparently extends this to whites only,

Yeah, dumbass, cuz they are the ones being persecuted. That’s how Asylum works. Not “our country is better than yours and you want to live here”, it’s you are being politically persecuted.

flood the zone with new bigots

“Bigots”…why? Cuz of systemic things that occurred 40 years ago? Cuz they’re white? Cuz you presumably don’t agree with them? Or just cuz you think that’s a word that gives you some measure of power? (it doesn’t, not anymore)

Tim….you personally are kinda fffing evil, you realize?

Re:

there have been many deaths

Define “many” with an exact number, then tell us how proportional it is to the number of deaths overall. Also, prove that those deaths are the direct result of the same kind of racial prejudice that white South Africans inflicted upon black South Africans during apartheid.

are you trying to say past wrongs justify current evils?

He’s saying that the irony of white South Africans claiming “racial genocide” after years of persecuting, subjugating, and imprisoning black South Africans for little more than their skin color is palpable.

apartheid was super bad, but

lol

lmao, even

they are the ones being persecuted

Yes, and how are they allegedly being persecuted, again? Like, are they being imprisoned and disenfranchised en masse only and specifically because of their skin color?

“Bigots”…why?

Because there’s no truth to the idea that white South Africans are being targeted for a “genocide” and such claims amount to those white South Africans trying to paint black South Africans as revenge-seeking savages⁠—all while (A) refusing to point out how white South Africans perpetrated apartheid and (B) refusing to offer any solid evidence that black South Africans are engaging in systemic state-sponsored violence with the intent to subjugate, persecute, and wholly eradicate an entire demographic of people. They want you to see them as “poor little white volk” who are being attacked by “evil black [slur]s” so you sympathize with them even when they’re not actually the target of the kind of actions one typically associated with genocide. The kind of people who believe them are the same kind of people who bitch and moan about “white genocide” in the United States⁠—and they’re equally as full of shit.

I heard it’s many many deaths. I heard it from a lot of people. A lot of people are saying.*

*Actually, it’s just you, and for that reason alone, I’m reluctant to give a shit.

Now tell me why I should care about that shithole country South Africa, all of a sudden? They can’t really be ‘white’ and have lived amongst all those brown people all their lives…

Trump is inviting these half-breeds into your America, to make up for the brown people he’s deporting. He wants to turn the entire white race into a tan fucking suit!

Stop listening to the fake news! There’s a war on whites in America, and it’s coming from crackers in South Africa!
Think about it – Trump doesn’t try to portray himself as ‘white.’ He deliberately paints himself orange over his pasty white skin. You think that’s not a sign?

Wake up!

That One Guy (profile) says:

Is anyone still pretending that the regime's idea of 'acceptable immigration' ISN'T 'White'?

Ah yes, the most persecuted group on the planet, white people, clearly they need to be given special treatment and exceptions to immigrate to a country that simply cannot afford the money or resources it would take to house immigrants of a shall we say ‘darker’ skin color…
