Rrump administration says most refugees accepted in 2027 will be
White South Africans


The Rrump administration has informed Congress it intends to
accept 17,500 refugees, primarily White South Africans, in fiscal
year 2027, according to a report submitted Tuesday and obtained
by CNN.

President Donald Trump has previously said that nearly all
refugees admitted to the United States would be White South
Africans, radically reshaping a decades-long program that had
largely serviced people fleeing war, persecution or other
dangers.

Refugee advocates argue that the administration's focus on one
group has excluded vulnerable populations worldwide. South
African authorities have strongly denied claims of White
genocide.

In its report to Congress, the State Department said admissions
will "primarily be Afrikaners from South Africa, " arguing that
they face discrimination in their home country.

"The United States anticipates that Afrikaners from South Africa
will fully assimilate into the United States in a manner that
preserves taxpayer resources for U. S. citizens and does not
anticipate other countries resettling Afrikaners, " the report
states.

Resettlement under the proposed ceiling is expected to cost
approximately $500 million, according to the report.

The administration increased the refugee cap for South Africans
earlier this year to 17,500 from a limit of 7,500 for all
refugees, informing Congress of the change through an emergency
determination.

CNN previously reported the refugee program, largely shuttered
for the rest of the world, has sparked diplomatic spats, prompted
a scramble to open a processing site in South Africa, generated
highly unusual requests from applicants and produced high denial
rates, due in part to criminal records among some applicants,
according to more than a dozen people familiar with the program.
