We no longer have any use for it
The Trump administration’s plan to overhaul the U.S. refugee resettlement process, including a drastic reduction in overall annual admissions, coincides with a concerted effort to prepare thousands of White South Africans to relocate to the United States through the system, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.
If the administration succeeds, almost all people admitted to the U.S. as refugees — as many as 7,000 from a maximum potential pool of 7,500 — could be Afrikaners, a group not traditionally eligible for the program but one that President Donald Trump says has been tyrannized by South Africa’s Black majority. The remainder may be chosen because of their ability to speak English or their views on “free speech,” people familiar with the matter said, upending a system that for decades had taken in people fleeing conflict and persecution from all over the world regardless of race or language.
Only white racists need apply for refugee status in the United States. And when you think about it, it makes sense. We are once again, a bold, unapologetic, white supremacist state with no pretensions to pluralism or tolerance and no commitment to strive for any kind of racial progress.
I will not be surprised to see that plaque just quietly disappear from the statue some day soon. It’s very DEI.
