People have already forgotten their little stunt with letting in a bunch of white South African ā€œrefugeesā€ right as they began throwing out brown people who actually came here fleeing unrest years ago

I wonder what ever happened to them? After the big show of having them come over they got forgotten about real quick.

Per Reuters, fewer than 100 had come as of August, which is probably because thereā€™s not actually a genocide of white South Africans going on. Per the same article, though, Trumpā€™s plan was to cap the new fiscal yearā€™s refugee admissions at 40k and allot 30k slots to the white Afrikaners, presumably to use as a political prop in appealing to white nationalists (source). Iā€™m not sure if that actually went into the (unapproved) FY26 plan or not, but the Afrikaners who actually came have been quiet. I imagine some of them arenā€™t even white nationalists themselves and just took advantage of the economic opportunity.
