President Donald Trump's overhaul of US refugee policies has created a major shift in the number and nationalities of people admitted to the country, US government data shows.

Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees were resettled in the US, according to the Refugee Processing Center. All, except three from Afghanistan, were South African.

In the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration, which started in October 2023, 125,000 people were accepted from 85 countries.

Last year, Trump halted all refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones, but allowed Afrikaners, a white minority group he said was persecuted, to seek resettlement. South Africa objected to his characterisation.

Who wants to emigrate exactly there? I couldn't think of one solid reason.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

White people who have a thing for exploiting people while acting like victims of great-white-displacement.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

But even whites need some millions to survive in that dystopian shit hole. I have more money than I would ever need but would feel too poor to emigrate there...

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not kidding when I say that my cousin wasn't aware of the immigration crackdown in the US before migrating there with his then partner. My cousin was a sailor and probably either missed plenty of international news, or only focuses on our home country's news, because of his constant travelling.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I get that. But still...don't people inform themselves strongly before even thinking of emigrating? Even if one lives in a shithole and wants change?

I grew up (genx) when there still was the american dream. And it seemed real. But for the last 20yrs that faded into a dystopian nightmare.

You'd be surprised.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Probably not, because gestures broadly at everything

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What colour South Africans?

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ever seen a flashbang go off?

Only in my pants. Why? What does that have to do with it?

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

All white too huh?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m willing to bet these South African apartheid Nazis will be hired by ICE. I’m willing to bet that that was the plan the entire time.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago

I’ve been a volunteer with refugee resettlement for years (still doing it because to leave now would hurt our on-going services to real refugees). From what I’ve seen, these are less ICE recruits and more in-line with the replacement theory” ideas. They’re trying to abuse the funds and infrastructure set aside to help deserving refugees and bolster their influx of the “right” kinds of people. And to an extent, it does work. If we didn’t help their refugees, we’d lose funding and support; if we quit in protest the people who came here earlier and are still settling would lose their support.

Most of the ones I’ve met seem more like someone you’d see holding a sign behind Trump at a rally than hardcore Proud Boy. They seem middle class, average education, entitled, resentful, and like they don’t actually need the help of our resettlement program. Most refugees come in with nothing; most of these folks have plenty.

And while it’s a sad statement on society, don’t discount the hate and bigotry of the homegrown MAGAts. They’ve hated refugees for years because they think they get a free ride into what they were born to (or worked hard to get). The whiteness is not an automatic “welcome” even if the politics match. They’re almost as hateful towards any immigrant regardless of color. I overheard one refugee upset because a MAGAt called her a “white n*word”. Welcome to America, land of hate.

And white

Don't forget that they were white

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago

Is that to include the Afghani?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I bet none of those were bleck.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

125,000 resettled down to 4,500. That's people admitted, i.e. so-called real refugees who have been found to need and deserve our help. Down to only helping white Afrikaners. Outrageous. Letting innocent immigrants to rot. Wipes his large ass with "bring me your huddled masses"

[–] przemyslawowo@lemmy.zip 34 points 1 day ago

They are shoring up their white supremacy ranks lol

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is it wrong for me to say I don't want these people here?

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not at all. You're rejecting the recruitment of Nazi thugs. Be proud of that.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 18 hours ago

No and you don’t either. They add nothing to your culture and bring nothing you don’t have. It’s all crappy religious songs and prejudice.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I literally came here to comment something along the lines "go back to your fucking country"

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Every accusation is an admission.

Removing all the brown people, bringing in all the white people. They want a Great Replacement.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

People need to just... literally listen to the words that the technofascists are saying. Musk, Andreeson, Yarvin, etc. have no qualms about saying everything out loud.
