Trump is spending more money on refugees, but it's mostly white South Africans who benefit. People from crisis-stricken countries are being denied entry. Experts say the credibility of US refugee aid has been damaged.
The US government cited an "unforeseen emergency" in South Africa as the reason the refugee program would be expanded. However, only white minority South Africans — who are allegedly being persecuted on racial grounds in their country — would be granted refugee status. The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that there is an ongoing genocide against white Afrikaners, allegations the South African government strongly denies.
Experts also say there is no statistical evidence of increased crime targeting white farmers.
