Trump changes his criteria: fewer afrikaners refugees and no black South Africans

The article discusses changes in U.S. immigration policy under President Donald Trump regarding refugees from Africa, particularly focusing on South Africa. During his first term, Trump contrasted immigrants from countries he called 'shitholes', including Haiti and parts of Africa, with those from Norway. In his second term, the administration has refined this approach by imposing visa restrictions on certain citizens of South Africa, citing claims that the South African government discriminates against white citizens, including Afrikaners, who are a minority in the country. The U.S. government asserts that South Africa's policies, such as affirmative action measures aimed at addressing racial inequality, are discriminatory toward whites. These claims have been used to justify limiting refugee admissions for white South Africans while maintaining support for black South Africans. However, recent months have seen many applicants for the refugee program being rejected.
