Outcry Over White South African Refugees Shows Democrats’ Goal Is Control, Not Compassion
Demographic transformation of the West is not a byproduct of migration but the end goal itself.
After four years of unrelenting migration, where millions of unvetted immigrants entered the United States under Joe Biden’s watch, President Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office, immediately pausing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The order acknowledged that the U.S. cannot now absorb and assimilate large numbers of refugees into American communities, while still allowing for case-by-case exceptions.
One such exception became a reality last week when American officials welcomed 59 white South African refugees to the United States.
These were the first arrivals of Afrikaners under a second executive order that explicitly called for their resettlement due to the combination of farm attacks, race-based discrimination, and land seizure laws recently promulgated by the South African government. Despite claims from the African National Congress that these assertions are a “completely false narrative,” one only needs to watch this AfriForum documentary to understand the dire situation Afrikaners face.
While the scene at Dulles Airport was joyous for the refugee families escaping violence and racial persecution, their mere presence elicited vitriol from Democrats, the corporate media, and even the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, who cited “racial justice” in opposing resettling white South Africans.
This backlash to such a small number of refugees, who happen to be white, reveals something more profound than disagreement over refugee policy. For many on the left, immigration and refugee resettlement are not just a humanitarian obligation; they are a form of historical redress for past colonial sins. Put more bluntly, the apoplectic reaction to welcoming just 59 white South African refugees suggests that, for Democrats, immigration is not about compassion. It’s about getting revenge via demographic transformation and wealth confiscation.
Democrats believe millions of immigrants from the Third World deserve to enter the United States annually, whether illegally or legally, because America, even after 400 years, was founded on “stolen land” and is therefore an illegitimate nation.
At the same time, white South Africans are illegitimate refugees fleeing persecution because, even after living on the African continent for around 400 years, Afrikaners live on land they “stole” and are now simply refusing to give it back.
