Trump to Replace Qualified Refugees with White ONLY Proponents of Apartheid

Melanie Nathan, May 8, 2025

Afrikaner loyalists to White Supremacist Trump vs. Black African Refugees under US centuries long standards of welcoming the stranger.
The United States once embraced the promise of welcoming the stranger. That was before it took a  new U.S. administration a mere 100 days to extinguish it, as well as its leadership for global human rights. Instead, of THAT promise, Donald Trump and his regime are implementing the promise of Project 2025. So they suspended USRAP. The United States Refugees Admissions program for the many who have waited, been vetted, or are in the pipeline. He essentially replaced them with ‘white only ineligibles,’ by all historic refugee process and standards. The Afrikaner architects of Apartheid, are welcome – Black Africans are excluded.

Every October a presidential determination is made as to how many refugees will enter the USA the following year. President Joe Biden set that number of refugee admissions to 125,000 for 2025. We could easily  accommodate 250,000. During the Trump 101 era, his number was set at 15,000, with only 8,000 entering based on his abilities as President. By 2019, Trump decimated the infrastructure, and Biden rebuilt it between in 2021. Now it has been slaughtered in a matter of 100 days. But, hey – not for everyone.

The faux “victims” of Apartheid’s demise, the very proponents of that Apartheid, have a special ticket – to replace the 125,000 refugee, They are replacing those who have spent years, as many as 4-15 years in squalid camps, and going through extreme vetting, fleeing war, ethnic cleansing, and the most horrific of circumstances, to come through URAP, to the United States. What stands out is there are no white people among them. However those who  are white, who invented and propelled Apartheid and who had zero time in camps, are given a quick first class ticket to Trump’s America. All the while the USRAP program remains suspended, despite court order, for those who TRULY need it and earned it under the law!

Thousands of Africa’s LGBTQI+ refugees, forcibly displaced by criminalizing laws, are among them, awaiting resettlement and pathways to safety and dignified lives.

Apparently  the First group of Afrikaners are arriving or preparing to travel to the United States, as I write this.

The African Human Rights Coalition, which I direct, together with may agencies in the USA,  are calling on Trump to comply with the Court Order to Resettle All Eligible Refugees.

Melanie Nathan, Executive Director of African Human rights Coalition, an expat white South African: 

I am horrified and deeply concerned that  the Trump Administration is putting on a pro-Apartheid cloak to admit Afrikaners without vetting.  Afrikaners by nationality are white only.  Likely he is not giving any special programs to any one else. In fact the TPS (temporary protection status) given to Haitians and Venezuelans and others who happen to be mostly of color,  is being suspended  by Trump, and those brown people, who have already made good ives here, are lawful tax playing good residents, are being forcibly removed from the streets of America as we speak.   Not to mention Trump is  ignoring or delaying compliance with court orders to resume the life-saving refugee resettlement program for all, especially the LGBTIO refugees who suffer further violence even in Camps and protection environments, while resettlements vetted and pending.

Earlier this week in Pacito v. Trump, the U.S. Government was ordered to process and provide resettlement support to approximately 12,000 refugees who were conditionally approved and had travel scheduled before January 20. The hardship to get to that point has now cruelly placed them at the back of the line for consideration by other Embassies.

Its clear that the USA is quite able to resettle and to do it quickly when needed and should for all people.  But they refuse black humanity and insist white need it based on “racism against whites.”  Did I say Project 2025? Through this Afrikaner program this Government is  putting is bigotry and cruelty on full display, through demonstrating that it has the capacity to vet, process, and depart refugees to the United States in quick order.

Fast tracking the admission of Afrikaners, through special programs, those who have not even left their homeland, who have never become actual refugees, while actively denying court orders to provide life-saving resettlement to actual refugee populations who are qualified and  in desperate need of resettlement, is inhumane, racist and unacceptable.

Caveat: Not all Afrikaners are racists and many have let go of the ideals of Apartheid.  I believe anyone supporting Trump is part of the old Apartheid guard….

Let us share this truth – contact your representative and share the point made in this post.

Hamba Khale.

the cheating racists are on their way! 

‘No proof of persecution,’ says Minister Lamola as 49 Afrikaner ‘refugees’ head to US
A charter plane carrying 49 Afrikaners, who have been granted refugee status by the US, departed from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport on Sunday, as International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola said there was no proof they had faced persecution.

Please note NOT ALL AFRIKANERS are racists or cheaters and I would hedge my bet that most are not. There are thousands of wonderful Afrikaners living in the USA. In my opinion it is these opportunists who support Trump willing to replace more needy asylum seekers that I am willing to call racist and cheaters!
