Low number represents a dramatic drop after US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and persecution

The Trump administration is going to restrict the number of refugees it admits into the United States next year to the token level of just 7,500 – and those spots will mostly be filled by white South Africans.

The low number represents a dramatic drop after the US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and persecution from around the world.

No reason was given for the drop in numbers, which are a dramatic decrease from last year’s ceiling set under the Biden administration of 125,000.

      Basically, yes. I’m sure there’s a not-insignificant amount of them who are directly or indirectly linked to white supremacy globally, and don’t want to get caught up when someone says “hey didn’t you help with a bombing campaign” because these fucks roll right the fuck over on each other when push comes to shove.
