migration & refugees political figures

President Donald Trump has increased the refugee admissions ceiling by 10,000 for this year to allow more white South Africans to come into the country. According to a forthcoming White House memo, the President is easing his administration's cap on the number of refugees who can enter the United States.

A signed presidential determination dated May 21 indicates that white South Africans of Afrikaner ethnicity face an emergency situation.

Trump claimed that this situation is the result of the incitement of racially motivated violence by political parties and the government in the majority-Black country.
