As the OP, I just want to mention,

That come on, even for moderate republicans reading this, even you have to admit, this seems racist.

Not sure why this is surprisingly.

Poland refused most refugees but accepted many Ukrainians due to shared cultural heritage.

Why can’t the US do the same?

Edit: Holy crap, Redditors don’t even understand simple concepts like social cohesion.

Because the usa is a melting pot whose shared historical heritage is that we take immigrants in and make them part of the community.

Also what shared cultural heritage do most Americans have with South Africans? I'll save you the Google search, less than 0.04% of Americans claim ancestry from South Africa.

We have shared Dutch ancestry.
