When asked why Afrikaners get an exception for refugee status, and the Afghans for example are being denied such status, a trump administration official said this:
"One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country."
Now why would these people from South Africa be easier to assimilate than others? It's a mystery.
They must think we're stupid.
