On Monday, John Hinderaker at Power Line Blog posted an article about the refugees from South Africa who came to America because of the violence against white farmers in that country.
The article includes an X post about the refugees. It states:
Known a few South Africans recently arrived in America, Afrikaner and English. Uniformly, they’ve said, what a joy just to be able to walk around freely. Without fear of attack. One young South African guy, when I raised the security issue, just blurted out, “I had a gun put to my head.”
A South African woman said an American told her, we have home invasions in this country, too. She asked, how many people do you know who have been home invaded? None, he said. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a home invasion, she told him. Her elderly parents were tied up at gunpoint. She was grateful they were only robbed.
My Afrikaner exGF carried a gun as a young woman out on the town. Explained cheerfully, you don’t stop for red lights in South Africa. That’s where they’re waiting for you.
Welcome to America. More immigration like this please. Afrikaners just want to work. Contribute. And you can rely on them in all things. Especially should it come to a fight.
They have settled in and begun farming and contributing to American life. This is what happens when you bring in immigrants who are compatible with American culture and are willing to assimilate.
