    So they’re importing a bunch of racists from South Africa. Who will vote for fascist Rs. Isn’t that what they accuse Ds of doing?

        They accuse Dems of bussing in voters, God forbid we give anyone a ride to where they need to be? Here they are actually flying in and importing Republican voters from foreign countries and we’re supposed to be just fine with it because the Republican party is the respectable party of patriots lmao. I hate these fucking assholes.

          I’m more interested in how many of these people are winding up working for ICE.

          How long does it take to go through the refugee process to become a citizen? They can’t vote until then, right?

            Good questions, I would suspect these folks are getting expedited service for their “donations”.

              I mean now we’re just in fantasy land. No one has offered the option to buy citizenship like that. Trump offered to let people buy green cards or whatever fancy name he gave them (still a green card).

              After that it takes at minimum 5 years. No indication that is being sped up in any way for anyone. It’s not even possible to speed it up under current law, not that the administration wouldn’t try. But in this case they’ve given no indication of doing so.

                The green card thing was really just a pathetic attempt to collect revenue since taxes have been slashed to untenable levels. Wealthy people wouldn’t even want citizenship. They vote with money, not with ballots.

                Not that these Boers are really rich or anything and there’s not enough of them to effect voting even if they could. This is virtue signalling to white supremacists. In fact I’d bet a lot of them will leave soon or end up homeless. They’re being brought in without any plans or preparation and no job opportunities waiting for them. Their usefulness to the Trump admin is merely as a photo prop and then they’re on their own.

                But oh well sucks to suck. Hope you all end up homeless back in South Africa too because a black family moved into your house while you were gone.

                Yeah buddy, you said it, we’re in fantasy land lol. Seems like we have been since this dipshit got elected yet again. Some day we’ll come back to reality.

                  I just don’t understand the need to fantasize about things that have not happened and that have no indication they will happen when we already have a mountain of very real problems occurring

      Using the max number from the article of 17,500 people, that’s not enough to make any real difference. Maybe if they went through a major effort to settle them in one or two close congressional districts.

      Also they can’t vote for at least 5 years after they arrive assuming they all rush to get their citizenship.

        Agreed, we don’t know that they are racist. Like most anywhere, you are very likely to find a mix of both racist, anti-racist, and everyone in between. However, given relatively recent historical context, they are likely to have a higher proportion of racists with a higher degree of severity.

    What are they getting for an ID as “refugees”?

    Real question. We need answers.

    Edit to add:

    Look into the origins of “white genocide” and great replacement type con-piracy theories and remember that, somehow, every accusation is a confession.

    These neo-confederates will make for shitty soldiers. The world will be better someday, once their plots are filled and promptly forgotten.

    The real winners in all of this are the people of South Africa who no longer have to deal with these racist pieces of shit

    That’s exactly what we need… ffs.

    Reminder for anyone who doesn’t know, it’s highly likely that the Q account on 8chan was a white South Afrikaner before the account was highjacked by Ron Watkins and his father Jim Watkins (owners of the image board). Allegedly.

      I might be wrong but dropping 10k more white fascists in the USA is just a drop in an (half full) bucket
