President Donald Trump’s overhaul of US refugee policies has created a major shift in the number and nationalities of people admitted to the country, US government data shows.
Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees were resettled in the US, according to the Refugee Processing Center. All, except three from Afghanistan, were South African.
In the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration, which started in October 2023, 125,000 people were accepted from 85 countries.
Last year, Trump halted all refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones, but allowed Afrikaners, a white minority group he said was persecuted, to seek resettlement. South Africa objected to his characterisation.
Even here there are some who would say it without any sarcasm, so yes, it needs to be said. Or better indicated. Quotes around “active genocide” with the same article link would probably make it more obvious.
I expected it to be sarcasm and still re-read to make sure.
Really? Did I just manage to block all of the actual cons on lemmy? Can you link a couple GOP or MAGA accounts just so I can see where the chuds hang out on the fediverse? I know about maga place but I think there are only like 3 of them over there circlejerking
Just came across one I tagged but hadn’t blocked, take a peek at doingthestuff on lemy.lol, you’ll find a fan of Charlie Kirk that claims the gas prices from Trumps latest mishap in Iran are somehow lower than they were under Obama.
Ive found a few on lemy.lol, so thats probably a good starting point.
Ah yeah, think I’ve run across that instance before. That account seems like some kind of libertarian weirdo in denial.
Ive blocked them, so maybe you did too. There’s some really hard right to be found at random. Who knows, maybe just trolls.
