The Washington Post reports that 67,000 people have expressed interest in refugee status, according to a list presented to the U.S. Embassy in South Africa by the South African Chamber of Commerce in the U.S. The chamber became a point of contact for interested white South Africans asking about the program after Trump issued an executive order on February 7 cutting U.S. funding to South Africa, citing “government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners.”
At the root of Trump’s executive order and refugee plan is a land expropriation law in South Africa that the president and his benefactor, tech oligarch Elon Musk, claim is unfairly seizing property from white landowners in the country. In reality, the law is meant to address decades of white minority rule under the system of apartheid, which disenfranchised the country’s Black majority to the point that white farmers own about 75 percent of the country’s land. To date, the government has not confiscated any land.
Last week, Rubio announced that South Africa’s ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, was no longer welcome in the county and gave him until Friday to leave the country over criticisms of U.S. policies under Trump. If the U.S. follows through on its plan to take in large numbers of South Africa’s white population while barring other refugees, it will not only hurt relations between the two countries, but the U.S. will look like it is enforcing a racist immigration policy.
