Il 21 gennaio Trump ha firmato un ordine esecutivo che sospendeva le ammissioni negli USA di tutti i rifugiati. "Comprometterebbero le risorse disponibili agli americani."
Ha specificato che in futuro saranno privilegiati “only those refugees who can fully and appropriately assimilate into the United States.”
Solita trafila.
Giudice blocca ordine esecutivo, Trump fa appello, giudice respinge appello e dice che devono essere ammessi tutti coloro che avevano già passato i controlli a casa loro, “including about 20,000 people from countries like Afghanistan, Congo and Syria who were ready to travel to the United States before Mr. Trump took office.”
L’amministrazione finge di non sentire, solito ritornello.
C’è però un’eccezione.
I bianchi sudafricani (Afrikaners) costituiscono il 7% della popolazione del Sud Africa, ma possiedono il 50% delle terre. Questi sono fatti. Non serve commentare la cosa, una normale conseguenza della storia del paese. Il governo ha cominciato a ridistribuire le terre, ma vi sono delle leggi che regolano la ridistribuzione, non come il Far West.
E allora?
The Trump administration has thrown open the doors to white Afrikaners from South Africa, establishing a program called “Mission South Africa” to help them come to the United States as refugees.
Under Phase One of the program, the United States has deployed multiple teams to convert commercial office space in Pretoria, one of the capitals of South Africa, into ad hoc refugee centers, according to the documents. The teams are studying more than 8,200 requests expressing interest in resettling to the United States and have already identified 100 Afrikaners who could be approved for refugee status. The government officials have been directed to focus particularly on screening white Afrikaner farmers.
Per questo programma stanno spendendo senza limiti. Uffici, personale, sicurezza.
The administration has also provided security escorts to officials conducting the interviews of potential refugees.
By mid-April, U.S. officials on the ground in South Africa will “propose long-term solutions, to ensure the successful implementation of the president’s vision for the dignified resettlement of eligible Afrikaner applicants,” according to one memo sent from the embassy in Pretoria to the State Department in Washington this month.
In a statement, the State Department said it was focused on resettling Afrikaners who have been “victims of unjust racial discrimination.” The agency confirmed that it had begun interviewing applicants and said they would need to pass “stringent background and security checks.”
Ovviamente questi check saranno veloci. Non due anni come per i neri africani.
Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa but is not of Afrikaner descent, has also falsely claimed that white farmers in South Africa were being killed every day.
There have been murders of white farmers, the focus of the Afrikaner grievances, but police statistics show they are not any more vulnerable to violent crime than others in the country. In South Africa, more than 90 percent of the population comes from racial groups persecuted by the racist, apartheid regime.
N.B. La polizia sudafricana era 100% bianca, oggi invece 81% nera, ma la violenza della polizia continua. Proteste di neri sono state spesso fermate con il sangue. Poliziotti neri rimpiangono l'apartheid. Una volta si stava meglio, etc. La stessa cosa che avviene negli USA dove l'aumento dei neri nelle forze di polizia non ha diminuito la violenza contro i neri. In 2015 a total of 1,134 people died at the hands of law enforcement and that young black men were nine times more likely than other Americans to be killed by police officers. While this latest study by Johnson acknowledges there are racial disparities in shootings, it claims race-specific crime rather than officer race best predicts the race of the victim.
Ernst Roets, the former executive director of the Afrikaner Foundation, was in Budapest last year to lobby for international support of the interests of Afrikaners. Proprio a Budapest. Si riconoscono da lontano.
But Roets also said the creation of the new refugee program had elicited debate among Afrikaners. Many do not want to leave their home, Mr. Roets said, but want the United States to back their efforts to claim “self-governance” in South Africa (forse invece vogliono diventare il 55esimo stato, dopo Gaza, Canada, Groenlandia e Panama, se non ho perso il conto). O forse ritornare all'apartheid: Make South Africa Racist Again.
“I don’t know anyone — no one I’m aware of — that plans to move to America,” Mr. Roets said. “People who want to come to America, we would support that. If people want to relocate to America, the farmers or Afrikaners, we think they would make good Americans. There’s a good fit,” he added. Ti credo che sia un buon fit, il razzismo fa parte integrante del loro make up, non serve insegnarglielo.
Zumbe Baruti, a Congolese refugee living in South Carolina, said he spent decades in a refugee camp in Africa waiting for his turn to be accepted.
“Those white Africans are allowed to enter the United States, but Black Africans are denied entry to the United States,” Mr. Baruti, 29, said in Swahili. He said the pivot away from refugees who have waited in camps for years and to Afrikaners was a form of “discrimination.”
Mr. Baruti, a member of the Bembe people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, fled ethnic violence in the nation when he was a child. He was granted refugee status in 2023, but his wife and three children — the oldest 6 years old and the youngest just 2 — had yet to clear security vetting. He entered the United States two years ago, focused on getting a job, saving money and immediately applying for his family to join him. When he entered, he said he was told by advisers helping him with his application that his family would most likely join him in two years.
He said that seemed unlikely as Mr. Trump turned his focus elsewhere.
“Regarding my family,” Mr. Baruti said, “hope has diminished.”
Queste cose succedevano anche con Obama...?
