The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by CBS News.

The State Department informed congressional officials that the Trump administration is planning to allocate 17,500 refugee spots for fiscal year 2027, and that they will “primarily” go to Afrikaners, who President Trump has claimed are being oppressed for being White. Fiscal year 2027 starts in October.

Trump administration officials have portrayed Afrikaners as victims of racial oppression in post-apartheid South Africa. The South African government has consistently denied persecuting the ethnic minority, made up of descendants of European settlers, mostly from the Netherlands.

Last week, the U.S. imposed new sanctions on South African officials who it said were responsible for discriminating against Afrikaners.

The Afrikaner resettlement effort is projected to cost the U.S. government $500 million, the notice to Congress said.

Mr. Trump has alleged that Afrikaners face a “genocide” in South Africa. In a tense Oval Office meeting last year, he confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the claims, showing him a video that spotlighted murders of farmers in the country.

Those claims have been strongly disputed. A “60 Minutes” report earlier this year featured Afrikaners who rejected the notion that White people are facing a “genocide” and said murders on farms were linked to a broader crime problem in South Africa that harms members of all races.

((**)) This article is biased against White immigration to America, so its purpose here on the Global Minority Report is to show that not all immigration is bad, and that taking in White people, into a White Christian country is normal. Probably most countries throughout the world welcome in their people.
