\n

The Trump administration is advancing plans to resettle an additional 10,000 white South Africans in the United States as refugees. Under President Trump\u2019s proposal, which was submitted to Congress on Monday, the U.S. would lift its record-low refugee admissions figure from 7,500 to 17,500, with the additional openings reserved for Afrikaners. This comes as the administration continues to block the entry of refugees from other countries. The U.S. has resettled just over 6,000 refugees between October and April \u2014 all except three were from South Africa. Trump has said Afrikaners face racial persecution and genocide in South Africa, claims that have been rejected by the U.N. Human Rights Office, among others. Last year, he cut off aid to the country and boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhiteness is being recast as endangered,\u201d says Lebohang Pheko, a professor of practice at the University of Johannesburg. \u201cThere is a move towards the alt-right, the MAGA<\/span> discourse, which is about replacement theory, and which is absolutely about displacing the idea that anything other than whiteness is normative.\u201d Pheko also suggests that Trump\u2019s actions toward South Africa are retribution for the genocide case it brought against Israel at International Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are processing resettlement cases for white Afrikaners at a record pace,\u201d adds Sharif Aly, president of the International Refugee Assistance Project, which is currently litigating a class-action lawsuit challenging the Trump administration\u2019s dismantling of the United States refugee program. \u201cThis program has never been a fast program, and it\u2019s being expedited for just this one population.\u201d While Afrikaners are being quickly resettled, \u201cthousands of other people who have went through years of vetting, who have went through years of persecution and violence,\u201d are being blocked from entering the U.S., says Aly.<\/p>\n
