The Trump administration is slashing refugee admissions down to 7,500 — a record low level — in the upcoming year, reserving the bulk of the slots for white Afrikaners from South Africa and other victims over “illegal or unjust discrimination.”
The Trump administration published its presidential memo in the Federal Register on Thursday and said the move to slash refugee admittance for fiscal year 2026 is “justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
The new ceiling of 7,500 refugees is a drastic decrease from the cap of 125,000 set by the Biden administration last year.
“The admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa pursuant to Executive Order 14204, and other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands,” the memo states.
“This decision doesn’t just lower the refugee admissions ceiling. It lowers our moral standing,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and C.E.O. of Global Refuge. “For more than four decades, the U.S. refugee program has been a lifeline for families fleeing war, persecution, and repression. At a time of crisis in countries ranging from Afghanistan to Venezuela to Sudan and beyond, concentrating the vast majority of admissions on one group undermines the program’s purpose as well as its credibility.”
South Africans aren’t going to come over and beat us over the head with bats or demand we assimilate to their way of life or tell us they want to take us down and America is a horrible country.
Democrats are not taking it well.
Trump limits refugee admissions to 7,500 and gives priority to white South Africans.
Thank God for Donald Trump.
A big to racist scumbag, Julius Malema.

Productive white farmers vs. parasites. Do the math.
Long overdue that we bring in people who can feed us, help our country and prosper in civil society. We need the South African farmers and they need us. Obama and Biden brought in people who hate us, cannot assimilate and want to destroy us. Thank you Trump!
The two parodists where I fill my prescriptions are two wonderful people. I wish you could meet this husband and wife team. They have told me why they are thankful to be in our country, having been saved from horrors of South Africa. They are country builders, not freeloaders criminals and destroyers.
I don’t care what race or skin color legal immigrants are, just that they can feed themselves and have come here to work and become loyal Americans, neither of which was the case for virtually all of Obongo and Bidung’s uninvited foreign no-loads. When all four of my grandparents came to America during the 1890’s they had jobs lined up… Read more »
My grandfather came in 1860, a member of the German Army, to (in his words) fight for the union and free the slaves. Seriously injured in the second battle of Bull Run, he received a pension to Traverse City Michigan and established a family with generations of patriots.
My dad, who was born in the US in1909, fought in WWII and two of his older brothers who were born in Norway, fought in WWI. I joined the US Army in 1971 but was sent home the day I reported for duty because of a heart murmur.
