President Donald Trump’s overhaul of US refugee policies has created a major shift in the number and nationalities of people admitted to the country, US government data shows.

Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees were resettled in the US, according to the Refugee Processing Center. All, except three from Afghanistan, were South African.

In the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration, which started in October 2023, 125,000 people were accepted from 85 countries.

Last year, Trump halted all refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones, but allowed Afrikaners, a white minority group he said was persecuted, to seek resettlement. South Africa objected to his characterisation.

    Every accusation is an admission.

    Removing all the brown people, bringing in all the white people. They want a Great Replacement.

      People need to just… literally listen to the words that the technofascists are saying. Musk, Andreeson, Yarvin, etc. have no qualms about saying everything out loud.
