Trump wants to admit more refugees to the US. But only White South Africans

The Trump administration is proposing increasing the refugee admissions ceiling for fiscal year 2026 to 17,500 for White South Africans, according to an emergency determination sent to Congress and obtained by CNN.

Last year, the administration restricted the number of refugees allowed to enter the country annually to 7,500, with a focus on White South Africans, slashing the previous year’s ceiling of 125,000 and excluding some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Since October of 2025 the US has admitted 4,499 refugees. Of those, exactly three were not White South Africans

You would have to go back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president and administration that was as nakedly racist as the current one.
