Trump deporting people of color but wants to give whites from South Africa refugee status for express entry into the US

Should this be allowed in light of Trump’s crackdown on all other people coming into the country and his mass deportations on people of color?

67,000 white South Africans express interest in Trump's plan to give them refugee status

The U.S. Embassy in South Africa says it has received a list of more than 67,000 people interested in refugee status in the U.S. under President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate members of a white minority group he claims are victims of racial discrimination by their Black-led government.

And to think Trump has only been in office for what, ~3 months and look at the damage he's wrecked the nation with both domestically and internationally. I wonder what our nation will look like at the end of this year and I wonder what Ukraine will look like around then.

So messed up for no good reason whatsoever.

I feel South Africans in general should be able to seek refuge just like any other foreigner and not because Trump simply wants to make his South African racist billionaire financier happy. If they have a valid reason to seek refugee status in the USA, no harm in trying. Am I missing something here?

Benefits for whitey. Consequences for people of color. But Trump's not racist, right??

Yes. He wants to give blanket refugee status to white South Africans while kicking out people of color for seeking out refugee status individually.

Whites welcome
Dark people go home

Ugh.

If someone is being persecuted in their home country, REGARDLESS OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, they should be allowed to seek refuge in the US.

That said, both the claim that white south Africans are persecuted as well as the act of deporting people back to their shit hole countries because they're the wrong color, are both highly questionable decisions.

Yup, righties always claim asylum is bullshit for people from Mexico or Central/South America, but apparently white south africans not even seeking it should be given refugee status.
