On February 7th, President Trump issued an executive order titled “Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa.” This was in response to South Africa enacting an appropriation act that would seize White-owned property. Trump’s executive order entails placing sanctions on South Africa, cutting their foreign aid, and most notably, admitting White Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the United States.

Trump’s Executive Order on South Africa
There was a query of 20k asylum requests just several days after Trump made the announcement, which crashed the South African Chamber of Commerce in the United States’ server. There were even reports that requests were as high as 50k a few days later. This includes 10k requests in just 18 hours, as well as 10k White farmers who are looking to flee. 11k temporary South African agricultural workers under the US’s H-2A visa program are now eligible for permanent immigration status.

Trump granting asylum to White Afrikaners shows a radical political shift, as during Trump’s first term, any blatantly pro-White immigration policy would have been way outside the Overton Window of acceptable policy. However, Trump said during his first term that he wanted immigrants from countries like Norway and not from shithole countries like Haiti, though he never followed through on this on policy. The US granting asylum to White South Africans has long been a fringe White Nationalist issue that no GOP politician would even consider. For instance, back in 2003, soft White Nationalist Jared Taylor said, “The one group of refugees I would let in is Whites from Africa.”

The UK and the Netherlands won’t even grant the right of return to their colonial diasporas in South Africa, which I don’t think is that radical of a position. For instance, Social Democratic Germany and France granted the right of return to their diasporas, the Volga Germans from Russia and the Pied Noir from Algeria, respectively. It is also notable that the refugee status granted by Trump’s executive order only applies to Afrikaners and not other White South Africans, such as those of English extraction.

What is ironic is that Trump has been a major disappointment to immigration hardliners. For instance, Trump praised H1b visas, plans to hand out “gold card” visas to any foreign oligarch in exchange for $5 million in cash, and is deporting fewer illegal immigrants than Biden did last year. However, Trump scraped temporary protected status for millions of migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti. Regardless, immigration policy blatantly favoring White immigrants is more radically outside the Overton Window than reducing immigration.

The narrative about the divide on immigration within the GOP is often framed as anti-immigration, pro-White nativists vs. more pro-immigration Republicans, such as business interests. While this divide showed up in the MAGA civil war over H1b visas, it is a bit more nuanced regarding South Africa. For instance, Steve Bannon is anti-immigration across the board, including for White South Africans, whom he called “the most racist people on Earth,” while demanding more high paying jobs for US born Blacks and Latinos. In contrast, Elon Musk, who likely had some role in influencing Trump’s executive order, is also strongly in favor of Indian H1b immigration.

However, during Trump’s first term, before Musk supported him, the South African Afrikaner advocacy group, AfriForum, came to America to curry favor with Trump. Also, John Bolton alleged that Trump wanted to fast track White South Africans as refugees. A lot of leftist and Third Worldist types allege that Trump has ulterior geopolitical motives in targeting South Africa, such as undermining BRICS and punishing South Africa for their UN resolution to condemn Israel for committing genocide. However, even if there is some truth to this, South Africa’s post-Apartheid ANC regime has long been a staunch Chinese ally and anti-Zionist, yet was also a sacred cow for America’s civil rights regime.

A lot of usually super pro-immigration lefties are outraged about Trump granting asylum to White South Africans. For instance, an article by Amari Apple in the Black entertainment media outlet Rolling Out called granting asylum to White South Africans harmful by politicizing the asylum process, which should be “based on immediate danger rather than racial or ethnic background.” This ironically mimics what rightwingers have been saying about Replacement Theory. While those eligible to claim asylum under US law are any ethnic group targeted specifically for persecution, US refugee law has always been very politicized. In my article, Xenophobia is Woke Now? from three years ago, I reference a New York Times article by Miriam Jordan, who is very pro-immigration, and was outraged about White South Africans on H-2A visas displacing Black farmworkers in the Mississippi Delta.

Somali born congresswoman, Ilhan Omar told the HuffPost “I think making our refugee resettlement system into one that is discriminatory obviously is problematic. It’s currently halted, and he (Trump) wants to make an exception only for white people — that just is plainly wrong and ridiculous.” Omar also suggested that Musk had a hand in this policy. Foundational Black Americans/ADOS (American Descendants of Slaves) are especially outraged. However, to be fair, FBA/ADOS are not aligned with the Left and are broadly anti-immigrant, including against Black immigrants like Nigerians.

Leftists are pushing this conspiracy theory that the rightwing of Silicon Valley, aka “the PayPal Mafia”, is a pro-Apartheid South African cabal. This is because of Trump’s South African born mega donors Elon Musk and David Sacks, as well as less known Roelof Botha, who is a venture capitalist and grandson of Pik Botha, the last foreign minister of Apartheid South Africa. These leftists also tie in Peter Thiel, who is German but grew up in South Africa. They are also making a big deal that USAID, which Musk is dismantling, played a significant role in the anti-Apartheid movement.

Woke leftists and Black ethno-narcissists are pushing this narrative that White South Africans can’t be oppressed because they own a vastly disproportionate amount of South Africa’s wealth and land. However, this is often the case with market dominant minorities being much wealthier than the majority population while also being targets of persecution. For instance, the Jewish diaspora, Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, Chinese in South East Asia, Indians in East Africa, and even the White Spanish elite who fled Communist Cuba. Jimmy Carter granted asylum to Iranian Jews fleeing the Islamic Revolution, and they ended up buying up much of Beverly Hills.
While it is insane how the pro-immigration Left is making a huge deal out of this, I don’t think it is entirely because they hate White immigrants. For instance, Democrats welcomed Ukrainian refugees fleeing evil Putler. Sure, liberals like to claim hypocrisy in that refugee admissions plunged during Trump’s first term, with the greatest drops among Africa, the Middle East, and South East. However, the key issue with Trump granting asylum to White Afrikaners is that it flips the script on the White oppressor/Black victimhood narrative, which is core to the Left’s ideology and also explains why a lot of Black people are unhappy about this.

There are reports of Afrikaners in South Africa turning down Trump’s offer to grant them asylum. For instance, Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Afrikaner trade union Solidarity, which it claims represents around 2 million people, said, “Our members work here, and want to stay here, and they are going to stay here. We are committed to build a future here. We are not going anywhere.” If Afrikaners were to emigrate, they would lose their distinct culture, and their descendants would become deracinated American suburbanites who might have a braai once or twice a year, comparable to how deracinated Irish Americans celebrate their heritage by getting drunk on St. Patrick’s Day.

There are also videos and posts from more liberal White South Africans dismissing that Whites are in danger and in need of asylum, though obviously more biased liberal media outlets are going to amplify these voices. While a lot of White South Africans support Trump addressing their plight, others feel like he is using them as pawns for America’s culture wars and political battles. There are also concerns that Trump antagonizing South Africa could backfire and lead to White South Africans being further scapegoated and demonized, especially if Trump’s sanctions crash their economy.

Despite White people facing racial discrimination and the high rates of violent crime in South Africa, American rightwingers probably overestimate how desperate White South Africans are to leave. Since South African real estate and labor is so cheap, many White people own large estates with lots of servants but could not afford to replicate that lifestyle if they were to emigrate. Afrikaners have good private schools that offer much more reasonable rates than comparable private schools in America. Despite anti-White discrimination, White South Africans benefit from being the smarter faction, alongside the small Indian minority, among a low-IQ nation. If they emigrated, they would have to compete with millions of White Americans and smart Asian immigrants.

Regardless, the number of asylum requests from South Africa shows that the US can attract White immigrants if America actively seeks them out. However, White South Africans (4.5 million with 2.7 million Afrikaners) alone are too small of a group to have that dramatic of a demographic impact. In contrast, Ukrainians have a much larger population, with 33 million people today and about 42 million before the war. Ukrainians were the only significant new White immigrant group to come to America in quite some time. However, Trump suspended the refugee program for Ukrainians, as being pro-Ukraine is coded as blue tribe, and Trump is likely punishing Ukrainians for being allied with the Biden administration. This is a pivot from Trump’s first term, where refugee admissions for Ukrainians increased by 109%, which was before the war.

Beyond the South Africa issue, I am skeptical of the GOP using White immigration as a demographic hedge against America becoming majority non-White. Trump and the GOP are much more likely to push for high skilled immigration more broadly. Not to mention that Trump only has one term, and the next president will likely be a Democrat who will shut down any kind of pro-White immigration policy. While I get the argument that we don’t need any immigrants until all Americans, regardless of race, are taken care of, White immigration is needed to offset native born White decline until native born White fertility is back to replacement level.

If Trump prioritizes White South Africans over other refugee groups, or especially if he only grants them refugee status while scraping asylum for all other groups, his administration will appear blatantly pro-White rather than just anti-immigration. This is a break from the GOP’s obsession with colorblind civic nationalism and meritocracy. Not only is Trump putting the long ignored anti-White climate of South Africa front and center, but this also signals a willingness for the Right to play the identity politics game, which Democrats have successfully exploited. It is also one of the more interesting and out of the box things Trump has done.
Demographic is destiny. America’s future is already written. Im sure some business owners like Elon would love to get the best immigrants possible for the lowest price to lead to the highest profits but in the big picture for American it won’t change the future. Sadly we need to remember the white South African’s made their own bed they wanted cheap labor and now the final bill is coming due! Hopefully they think the total cost of the cheaper labor was worth it.
Good or bad this isn’t about helping white people. There are plenty of whites here Donald could help. Im not taking a stand just pointing out this is a political move. Maybe it is multiple reasons, bring the brightness to American for the economic competitiveness of American against China. Give hope to the whites they have a fighting chance so they follow their leaders to march against China and Iran. I find it hard to believe any knowledgeable white person could believe that Donald is for whites when on this very day since his inauguration he has given Israel 300 million dollars a day for a country with around 6 to 7 million people. Any white person with a calculator could see that is an amazing amount of money per person.
Well I mean, vocabulary wasn’t my best subject, but…
Let’s wait and see what the fine print in refugee status offer is. It would help those who are not wealthy or organized enough to be secure for one. The Trump government’s interest in SA may be strategic, they are looking for a way to punish the South African government for BRICS and it’s stand on Israel. Minority rights would do as an excuse to interfere.
The ones screaming, “NO White South Africans, ZERO immigration instead!” made me recall VDare: “We aren’t racists; We are for an Immigration Moratorium i.e. no-one enters this country whatsoever his or her race.”
.
.

I kinda agree: “White South Africans don’t belong in America; They’re a separate people.” (But…)
Thing is: They should have their own Country; Yet, they don’t. Sad!
.
.

…However, let’s say, a White Country that follows Ethnic Nationalism, like The USA used to do (although, it was Anglo-Saxon-centred, which’s totally fine), nevertheless must make sure these White immigrants – yes! – assimilate.
Of course, “too much” assimilation is homogenisation, which’s not good, given how rich (White) pan-ethnicity is!
People still don’t get it.
99% of what Trump does is diversionary.
Nobody in the US wants Greenland, Canada, or cared what the Gulf of Shithole is called. Get people to rock & roll about all that tripe. Let them fume and fizzle.
Then he’ll fix what he wants in silence.
For those needing proof — how many times did Trump mention South Africa on the campaign, when he was gathering support?
Never. This is the art of the deal. Known well in advance by people with a little knowledge of Trump.
Although I feel for the murdered Boer farmers by bands of chimps under the influence of Chief Chimp Julius Malema, whole immigration of white S. Africans is not the answer. Yes, under apartheid many Africans came from countries to the north where they would get better pay.
Helping Whites in need sounds great but since it’s Trump you can’t help but be suspicious.
Fifty million+ Migrants of Color, and the Establishment has no problem with that. Never mind that a clear majority of them are opportunists and grifters, or worse. And never mind that they’re well on their way toward converting the USA into a third-world hellhole just like the ones they came from.
But permit a few thousand (civilized, productive) whites who are fleeing hideous, sadistic violence in what was once their homeland? Only a Literal Nazi would even consider such a thing.
Trump needs to ask his Generals about the long-term plan to permanently assign US Army soldiers to defend the USA. This is easy to do, but I doubt Army Generals want a return to its mission of defending the Mexican border that it abandoned in 1940.

*ALL* Afrikaners should take up the offer – while it lasts – and go.
The writing is clearly on the wall. A Rwandan style genocide of whites in South Africa looms.
Just one criticism. Trump’s offer should extend to all white South Africans and not just to Afrikaners. The many British, Portuguese, Greek and other Europeans should be included in the offer. Subcons, however, must be specifically excluded as well as the so called ‘Cape Coloreds’.
No-one said anything about whole immigration. Refugee status for some was offered by Trump but nothing concrete has been done yet. There are people who would be better off accepting refugee status, and many who would be better off staying.
It was the mainly the mining industry that imported labour under Apartheid, the borders were closed, unlike today. The same rules apply nowadays, but the ANC government cannot enforce the rules properly or keep the border closed, people just walk across.
How about this idea:
We should only have racist white immigration.
Any racist white * who wants to immigrate to the US should be given instant citizenship, a first-class plane ticket, $100,000 “starting out” money (more for families), and a US passport.
We will make America white and racist again.

An American YouTuber does some rumour control videos on the subject of South Africa, he appears to be sincere:

Looks like we are set to get economically hurt to put the SA government back in it’s place. The scraps they get from government is often the only thing that keeps some blacks from openly revolting.

Nice timing, Trump effect? Trump’s been a nice guy to us so far, is he being nice just to be a nice guy?
Argentina imported vast numbers of Europeans which resulted in the black population dwindling away to insignificance. Consequently, Argentina is now the whitest country in South America.
Importing white South Africans would not make much of a dent in the USA, but it would be a start. If European countries collapse and their populations start looking for greener pastures, that could make a huge difference. Of course, that’s assuming the USA can avoid a collapse.
Lol…Oh Lord.
Hey, I have to admit those farmers are going to make GREAT Chik-a- FIL managers.
I don’t think a few thousand Whites from South Africa are going to offset the 40 million third world Hispanics and blacks that came into our country illegally. Can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they see that we cater to blacks and let them wreck our country too.
Thomas Jefferson was realistic about race relations when he said that the Negros will eventually try to exterminate white people unless white people attack first or deport all blacks ASAP. A white patriot revolution is the only hope for white people in North America. It will have to be particularly cruel and bloody, as Jews and white liberals will have to be exterminated along with Africans. Other than that revolution occurring, white America will shrink into a mere 20% of the population before the century is out, as a non-white majority, led by the Jews, will encourage mass immigration from non-white nations. When that takes place, whites will then be marginalized by the Africans, Jews, Asians and Hispanics. Next comes genocide, just like what we see in South Africa.
The Founders understood race much better than most people do today. The first immigration law in 1790 only allowed for White European immigrants. Our leaders then could not imagine that we would allow non-white citizens or that millions of black slaves would be given citizenship. Obviously doing that and changing immigration laws to accommodate non-whites has reshaped the country and put it on a sure path to destruction. Then the massive influx of Jews resulted in them using non-whites as weapons against Whites. So many unforced errors along the way.
You put it in a nutshell. The left cannot ever accept that white people could be the victims.
I’m spamming a YT channel a bit but Mr Wyatt’s videos have interviews with Afrikaner rights activists who have been lobbying the US government for some time, and who seem to be getting more reaction from the Trump administration than happened before:

The activists from Solidariteit and Afriforum are becoming the victims of lawfare, some opposition political parties have opened a case of treason against them.
Sadly we need to remember the white South African’s made their own bed they wanted cheap labor and now the final bill is coming due!
Give me a break. The boers were their only labor on empty land when they first arrived.
MAWA !!!
I’d like to see a 10-year immigration moratorium, but if it’s going to piss off the liberals, I’m quite willing to make an exception for WHITE South Africans. Are we racist? You bet we are, and proud of it!
South Africa wanted the fake jews to be tried in the Hague for genocide. Zion Donnie is just retaliating for anti-shempism or something. ZOG has written its own destruction. The brown hordes are willing to kill the pasty white khazar mafia. All that AntiWhite narrative has boomeranged on their own ass. The fake jew has been genocidal with all other races. They have started a cycle that will only end when they are wiped out. ZOG can’t walk back their actions. They went too far to stop or turn around. This war on terror will only end when the real terrorists are destroyed. The jumping jew of Palestine has left the frying pan and hit the fire. Iran, Turkey and Islam are too big for them to fight against. Uncle Sham can’t get it up anymore. The DIE is cast and the fake jew lost.
That too.
Trump has a SAG card so he is not an amateur actor… he’s a pro.
Ask yourself what the most logical skit for the next few months might be. His agenda is to gladden the hearts of his followers and skunk the dreams of his Hate Club. I’m sure it’s already scripted, and since Trump likes improv, no doubt he’s working to make the best of whatever the script thinks he’s going to do.
They said this about presidents before, especially Reagan. This time it’s a lot more likely.
I hope you are kidding or you live in a fantasy world. They didn’t want apartheid because of cheap labor just as Whites in the South in America didn’t want segregation because of blind hatred of blacks. For that matter, blacks are cheap labor in any scenario because they are of lower IQ and totally dysfunctional and generally make very bad employees at any price.
You are correct about Thump being a Thespian, and a good one. I rather enjoy his one-man show.
You are incorrect about him arranging a 3- dimensional chessboard with the long-term goal of saving Thewhiteman(tm). You’re fucked.
Then I guess they should have bought a lot more Honkees over from Holland and made them dig for diamonds.
Very few people think Trump has much in the way of racial or even national consciousness, Think how fast he agreed with Musk to let more “brainy visas” from India in.
If I read what Trump voters actually think, and I could be wrong, they think that Trump’s policies might, just maybe, tighten the job market enough that working-class people might get a living wage out of what are currently gigs and get-by jobs.
Trump’s support is real but this is a low-expectation era. Getting some of the deadlier cartel migrants out would be good. Trump, again, might actually do it. Or not. We never know with him.
You might find this cpmmentary interesting. Pres Jefferson is all over the map, however, his observations, though trapped and limited to blacks in a condition of slavery is telling.

“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest.–But it is impossible to be temperate and to pursue this subject through the various considerations of policy, of morals, of history natural and civil. We must be contented to hope they will force their way into every one’s mind. I think a change already perceptible, since the origin of the present revolution. The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying, the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the consent of the masters, rather than by their extirpation.”
But he thought a recompense was coming — one wonders, if it has yet to pass.
Trump was employed as an agent (probably by the NFL) as an agent to destroy the USFL… and he did.
He was employed by an agent (probably by Las Vegas entities) to destroy Atlantic City, and he did.
He has now been employed to start the war of all wars in the Middle East. In order to accomplish this he is going to have to ascertain some SHORT TERM trust from his constituency, contrary to popular belief, that is not working class whites, it is upper middle class and rich whites. The working class white, as is proven here, and as LBJ said, will believe whatever he is told as long as you dog whistle loudly enough that you instill some pride in him.

Eight years ago, Gordon Duff at Veteran’s Today, put out the story that Trump was insolvent and his loans were all coming due. Rather than facing the oblivion of bankruptcy, Trump was allowed to run for president as a diversion. For which he would be allowed to live in the style he’s grown accustomed to.
True or horsewash? I have no clue. As Gore Vidal, spending his last years in a wheelchair quite drunk, told us: Politics is showbiz for the ugly.
I accept what happens. If Trump, like Biden, is president only to preside over the corpse of a once-great nation, I feel no anger. The nation will break up and make greater nations possible. Nations that are smaller, ethnically coherent, and responsive to their folk. The end is the beginning. As G.W. Bush put it, bring it on. Can’t stop it so we might as well use it.
Old Sport, I appreciate the optimism, and you are correct on one thing; the end is nigh. But I am fairly confident in telling you that the end will be nothing like this.
No, the thing that the radical socialist-communist and the Libertarian fat cat have in common is that when the end comes, either of them would give their eye teeth to have either Barry or Boy George back at president, in comparison to what they have.
Make America white again? Nah. If anything Trump is planning on making America Indian again. I mean, there are about 1.4 billion people in India and most of them are chronically malnourished, and it’s getting worse. Just think of all the money you can make from all that cheap, desperate, pliable labor!
But this isn’t Trump 2.0. This is Musk 1.0. IMHO Trump gave up and sold out last summer, he’s now a tool of the tech billionaires. And don’t forget, the enemy of my enemy might not be my friend. The enemy of my enemy might be even worse. Celebrate cutting government waste (USAID, DEI, yes, but also Medicare, Social Security, the VA), but for every dollar saved Musk et al. will steal at least two, and the deficit will continue to climb. Count on that.
