This Is How The Asylum System Is Supposed To Work

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an Executive Order signed by President Trump to allow 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States. The Afrikaners are mostly the descendants of the Dutch settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 1600’s and began farming. Currently, many of them are under threat by their neighbors because of racially motivated violence. Many of the farmers have been murdered and their farms stolen. The government has played a major role in seizing land without compensation. I understand that the minority white population ruled South Africa in a way that did not allow the black majority to prosper, but stealing land and murdering people is not going to change that or bring peace.

The article reports:

The Trump administration intends to accept a further 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States in addition to the 6,000 Afrikaners already accepted, raising the 2026 cap to 17,500. Meanwhile, several patriotic Afrikaner organizations appealed to President Trump to help Afrikaners stay in their ancestral home.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he was increasing the refugee cap for white South Africans because of “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation”, signing an executive order to “increase the ceiling to 17,500.” Trump blamed the South African government for “recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence”.

Presidential Determination No. 2026-14 of May 21, 2026 finds that “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation now exists due to recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence on the part of the Government of South Africa.”

“I hereby determine that the admission to the United States of Afrikaners from South Africa in response to this emergency is justified by the grave humanitarian concerns … and that an increase in the ceiling to 17,500 is warranted”, President Trump wrote.

Last month I posted an article about the refugees from South Africa who have already come here (article here). The are settling in and working as farmers. They are a definite addition to America.

A Story That Needs To Be Shouted

On Wednesday, President Trump met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office. During the meeting, President Trump played videos of the genocide that is currently occurring in South Africa–a genocide that is being overlooked and denied by much of the world. The genocide is against the white farmers there. The white farmers own a large percentage of the farmland because when the Boers settled South Africa, they started farms. The current generation of farmers was not involved in that. The Boers mistreated the South African natives and the situation was not unlike America before the Civil Rights Movement. Unfortunately, when things began to change, the change did not stop in the peaceful area of the spectrum, it continued to the other side. For a number of years, white farmers have been being killed and their land seized.

On Wednesday, The Conservative Treehouse reported:

President Trump showed Cyril Ramaphosa a video of political activists within South Africa calling for the murder of white farmers, and then later video showing thousands of white crosses erected to call attention to the issue. Every element of media’s cultural Marxist army has been denying the atrocities while using political correctness as both a cover and justification for the slaughter. President Trump put a spotlight on years of international lying, Ramaphosa, did not know what to say.

…To give you an example of the DC media gaslighting, consider this phrase extracted from Politico as they attempt to deny what President Trump was outlining:

…”Additionally, the president’s claims of land seizures are exaggerated. While Ramaphosa signed a law earlier this year laying out circumstances in which the state can seize land for public purposes, most landowners are compensated.”… (link)

Land seizures are “exaggerated” because “landowners are compensated.” Can media even hear themselves, or read the typeset they use?

The farmers do not want to sell their land.  The farmers do not want to be “compensated.”   The compensation is irrelevant in the review of seizure.  The forced taking of the land, with or without compensation, is the seizure.

The murder of the white farmers is the issue, not “how many” of them are murdered.

The United Nations spoke out against apartheid in South Africa and many celebrities refused to perform in the nation. Where are they now?
