The Trump administration will limit the number of refugees admitted to the US to 7,500, and give priority to white South Africans.

The move, announced in a notice published on Thursday, will apply for the next fiscal year and marks a dramatic cut from the previous limit of 125,000 set by former President Joe Biden.

No reason was given for the cut, but the notice said it was "justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest".
...
The notice posted to the website of the Federal Register said the 7,500 admissions would "primarily" be allocated to Afrikaner South Africans and "other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands".

"No reason given" since "because we're racist fucksticks" is still just a little too frank. But the subtext is there, and Miller will be admitting it proudly by the start of 2027.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to...
You know what? If they aren't white, and can't pay me, fuck 'em."

Remember what happened to the Nazis after the Nuremberg trials. Looking at you, Stephen Miller.

actually would be in the nation's best interest or to protect national security.

7. The number that have taken advantage of this since May is *checks notes* about 70.

They’re just desperate to get out.

8. Trump and Miller will give them financial incentives to come

$20 billion to prop up his pal Milei; why not a few billion to make his white supremacist refugee policy look successful? I heard one of the ones that did come complained it was hard to get servants in the US, which shows the awful life he must have had in South Africa.

9. or is otherwise in the white nationalist interest

There, I fixed it. In the OP excerpt, it says:

"or is otherwise in the national interest".
