This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

It's racist, but it 💯percent White Supremacy. Taking people from an apartheid state when the falsities of white landowners having their land seized and everything else
Oh and Elon.
He needs to be blasted into a cotton field.
it follows the colors of the apartheid flag
Straight up racism.
Those values? Racism.
I would rather live next to a Haitian refugee under the Biden administration than a Nazi White South African under the Nazi Musk administration!
FUCK STUPID HITLER🖕🖕
When is it going to be enough for America to stand up and against to his racist bullshit🤬
Why, because they are white? What a racist thing to say.
I’m thinking I’m happy with Haitians, Ukrainians, Venezuelans, Cubans, those from Sudan, Mali, Equatorial Guinea, Afghans, Iraqis and others before Afrikaaners.
Immigrants coming to this country tend to do pretty well
It's pure racism from Trump & his band of Nazis.
The "They're dying, that's true and it is what it is" guy
just said 'White Afrikaner lives matter' and the "blood poisoners", "animals", "vermin" and Hannibal Lechters" do not.
U.S. is officially by governmental public declaration a racist nation
there's not even a veil
Racism.
Just say it.
Damn ….
For context:
I mean, there's finally some self awareness... Not sure I'd call it a silver lining tho.
You opened the door for one group......
.now everyone can come
By “Assimilate”, these monsters are actually saying “But they can’t become White.”
This is racism written in bright orange letters 20' tall!

When I moved to California, I only spoke one of the three main local languages; most Mexicans speak more English than I did Spanish. (Mandarin, sorry, is beyond me.)

Is the “thin veil” the part where they didn’t use the “N-word” in this press conference?
There is no veil here.
