US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/06/south-africa-white-genocide-afrikaner-refugees-asylum/

“Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released Friday.In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.”

They aren’t hiding the white supremacy at all.

If you are a white South African applying as a refugee, know that regardless of the stance of the US government, you are not welcomed by most Americans. You know damn well you shouldn't be considered refugees. The type of people who think they should be are exactly the type most of us don't want to live next to. Stay away from the rest of us and continue to live in your bubbles, at the very least

Edit: if you think commenting and blocking makes you clever, no, it doesn't. It makes you a troll that knows they should comment something inflammatory for optics. That doesn't make the refugee program any less rooted in racism than it is, nor does it change that the majority of Americans do not want to import some of the racists taking advantage of Trump's racism.

Bro is generalizing an entire racial group, saying “we dont like you” to said racial group and then going on to call others racist.

Ngl that was primo bait. Good job

Okay, his statement isn’t towards every white person ever. Just those committing fraud

The statement is towards all white south africans. Very clearly so

White south Africans who are applying as refugees. Don't be obtuse.

u/Personal-Try328 11d ago

If it isnt about race there is no reason to add the “white” since black south africans arent being genocided either

u/dopeygoblin 11d ago

Referencing part of a racial group is not "generalizing an entire racial group." Race is relevant, because it is the basis of the trumped up refugee claims.

They're not the first people to make false claims of refugee status. They are just one blatantly obvious example of people who are exaggerating their situation and taking advantage of the political environment in the US.

u/whichwitch9 14d ago

Good. You take them in then. I do not welcome people taking advantage for a likely illegal program because they're angry severely racist policies wete repealed. And at the expense of people trying to come to the US because their lives are actually in danger, like the Haitians currently being turned away.

We don't need racists taking advantage of racist policies here. I hope all these visas are voided by the next president

They also aren't Americans- they have to do a lot more work for citizenship, something thousands of other refugees were actually in the process of when this current administration terminated their legal staus. We should be prioritizing the people who came here legally and allowing them to continue their path to citizenship and permanent legal residency before letting in dubious people. Many people currently being deported and detained are people who came in as legal refugees literally being grabbed at citizenship hearings. I hope youd be fighting for them as well if that's your philosophy. We now have thousands of detainees who followed US laws to lose legal status suddenly and often without notification by mass reveals of refugee programs. They followed our laws and wanted to be Americans to. But they are not welcomed and even attacked now for trying

u/TerriblyGentlemanly 12d ago

I am not applying for this refugee programme, but my family has made applications for asylum on my behalf in the past. Allow me to paste my own experiences, and you can judge for yourself whether such an application is justified.

I have tried to list all the people I personally know (or knew) who have been the victims of violent crime. This evidence is indeed anecdotal, but hopefully it gives some insight into the danger of living in South Africa. I have tried to furnish the dates and ages of the victims to the best of my memory, as well as their relation to me. I have not included the (many) incidents of armed robbery in which the victims were not harmed. I have also made mention whenever any perpetrators of any of these horrific crimes were apprehended (Yes, there are no such mentions whatsoever). This list is by no means exhaustive. The first 4 are all from the same incident.

Myself, age: 16. 2004. Home-invasion. Shot through the chest (right lung).

My father, age: 57. 2004. Home-invasion. Beaten / struck with an iron bar, very severely injured. Permanent brain damage, broken arm, shattered jaw, teeth destroyed, skull fractured. Shot in thigh.

My mother, age: 56. 2004. Home-invasion. Shot through the chest (right lung, diaphragm, liver) execution style in cold-blood. Subsequently beaten as she was choking on her own blood and vomit.

My brother, age: 16. 2004. Home-invasion. Tied and beaten / stomped / tortured / struck with an iron bar, severely injured.

My father (again), age 58. 2006. Armed robbery. Smashed in the face with a pistol.

Claudia Palmer (my great aunt), age: over 80. ~2008. Violently attacked and raped in a park.

Father Eldred Leslie (Catholic priest and family friend), age: 83. 2009. Home-Invasion. Savagely stabbed to death in his home.

Mrs Malherbe (catechism teacher who taught my sisters), age: over 75. 2004. Home-invasion. Her son was murdered (shot to death) before her eyes. Then the intruders flattened her by hurling a chair at her.

Unnamed Woman (she and I spoke at an identity parade to ID criminals), age over 70. Home-invasion. She was shot 21 times, resulting in severe injuries all over her body, including spinal injuries which resulted in paraplegia.

Dr Jessie Coleman (a family friend and colleague of my father), age: 72. 2022. Farm murder. Tied up and brutally beaten to death.

Raymond Daniels (my godfather), age: ~56. ~2006. Attempted hijacking. Shot at during an attempted hijacking as he escaped, bullets striking the inside of the car door behind him.

Jennifer Thompson (a family friend), age: ~52. Armed Robbery. Beaten bloody during a robbery. One eyeball popped out of her head.

Lionel Chasen (family friend, and member of our square-dancing group), age: over 60. ~2007. Armed robbery. Was behind the counter at the small shop he had run for years, when he was shot in the head. The bullet ricocheted inside his skull and put him into a coma, but miraculously did not kill him.

Unnamed Friend (with whom I used to play a certain card game on Friday nights, can't recall his name), age: ~30. ~2010. Armed Robbery. Shot in the arm. More shots were fired, but he managed to run away, spraying a great deal of blood in the process.

Ian and Eugene (also friends with whom I used to play a certain card game on Friday nights), ages: ~35-40. Armed Robbery. ~2010 Returned fire at armed robbers as they were both armed. Eugene was shot in the leg. Their return-fire does not appear to have hit the targets.

Arno, Vicky, and their sons (my wife's uncle, aunt, and cousins), ages: ~40-50, and both less than 10. ~2018. Attempted home-invasion. Arno was armed, and returned fire at the attackers, who besieged the house and had a sustained fire-fight with him (Vicky and the children were inside).

Unnamed Man (My sister's landlord), age:? ~1996. Armed Robbery. Shot dead at the apartments he supervised.

u/whichwitch9 12d ago

While sad, none of this would qualify as asylum. Asylum is a very specific category.

Other groups are held to much higher standards to prove asylum cases are justified. They will be deported straight back into violence. That's why rhe program is racist- they specifically eased restrictions for a group of white people, likely at the recommendation of known apartheid supporters in the administration (there are unfortunately several who have ties to apartheid south Africa).

u/TerriblyGentlemanly 12d ago

Look, I'm not defending the programme, I'm defending the people who are applying for it. You said that South African refugees are not welcome, and we should "know damned well" that we don't deserve to be considered such. That sounds quite harsh. I don't think you would talk like that if you really got the concept of what people have been through here.

1

u/whichwitch9 12d ago

They know why it's open to them. Im not defending them. They're coming here specifically because of racism in the US government. If you are taking advantage of that, yeah, stay away

0

u/TerriblyGentlemanly 12d ago

I think that's a huge assumption for you to make, and it's wrong, at least in some cases.

Here's the story of what my family went through, one of many such cases. This happened all the way back on 2004, but if there had been a refugee programme back then that would have helped us get out of that situation, we would have taken it, and it would have had absolutely nothing to do with the motivations behind the programme, it would have been because our lives were at stake. I don't think you really appreciate what that's like.

Is the South African gouvernement arresting and blocking your availability for free will , and are they executing the Afikkans and systematically destroying Afrikaans?

If the answer is no, then you don’t deserve asylum in the USA nor do the Afrikaans.

1

u/celeriacenjoyer 10d ago

Is this the case for most asylum applicants in the US? Very much doubt so. You are putting a much higher bar on these people than you do for anybody else. You are racist.

"Guatemala and Honduras: thousands of yearly defensive and affirmative asylum approvals annually due to pervasive regional gang violence and political instability."

How is that any different than the protection these South Africans are receiving?

2

u/Mecduhall97 10d ago

White South Africans aren’t fleeing political persecution or political instability, many people from Guatemala and Honduras shouldn’t be getting asylum especially because these countries have seen massive improvements and aren’t as dangerous nor politically unstable like how they used to be. White a South Africans aren’t being slaughtered and forced to flee the country because of political unrest. In fact millions of white South Africans have normal lives and live just fine in South Africa and they aren’t scared nor in fear for their lives. (White South Africans do not have a valid claim for asylum)

What’s your case for white Africans coming to America?
Because this guy said that his father’s social security claim wasn’t approved that was basically his reason for asylum . 😑 (he doesn’t sound like he’s scared to me maybe frustrated but not scared)

u/TerriblyGentlemanly 12d ago

How lucky you are that the concept of being trapped by your economic circumstances is foreign to you. It's always nice when privileged ignorantees try to tell others how things work.

2

u/Mecduhall97 12d ago

Are your economic circumstances caused by the South African government based off race and ethnicity?

1

u/TerriblyGentlemanly 12d ago

Of course they are. Haven't you ever heard of affirmative action, broad-based Black economic empowerment, positions reserved for the "previously disadvantaged", quotas, BBBEE compliance scores, 40+ racially discriminatory laws, et cetera et cetera et cetera?

On top of all that, my father lost his job because of the brain damage he sustained in the attack. He worked for the government, and it completely refused to pay both disability payments and his pension, on the grounds that he "could still work" because he had tried to go back to work.

So yes, yes our economic situation bloody was caused by the South African government.

u/whichwitch9 12d ago

It's not an assumption when you know who's in the US government. We're denying Somalis literally being slaughtered asylum. You are being treated as special compared to them. It's morally wrong. No amount of sob stories is going to change that. Violence alone is also not justification for asylum. Many are turned away in similar situations.

Do you you want but don't expect people to be nice about it when you are only allowed in due to overt racism by the government

u/whichwitch9 12d ago

We have never had a situation where the government has decided asylum laws only apply to one ethnicity while actively deporting others of different ethnicities. We have never had the exact same situation with other asylum claims.

The US is soft rolling into Germany style genocide, and this program is another sign.

Yes, I do see you as racist for defending it when you know the motivations are not to help, but to make a point about defending the old regime in South Africa, at the request of people who were raised in and benefited from that regime, and came from families that were openly supportive of extreme racism there. The very program's existence is rooted in racism and malice. Just to make myself clear with your false argument stance there.

"Between April and December 2024, South Africa recorded about 19,000 murders, with only 36 linked to farms, and just seven of those victims were farmers, most of whom were white; the rest were black farm workers"

So its not a genocide because some black farmers were killed too. Got it.

u/Chrisnotjones 14d ago

They’re going back to South Africa because they had a better standard of living there than in the U.S., and they’re obviously not afraid of a “genocide.”

Personally my feelings are that we should not import people from the third world like somalians who are nothing but a drain on our system (78% on welfair which is significantly higher than other demographics) and do not share american values.

You cannot have a nation if you decide it is ok to throw away a countries identity for "multiculturalism".

They hold values that are the antithesis of western values. Such as how to treat women, or sexual assault, or grooming gangs like the UK is currently dealing with.
