The US State Department announced Saturday that white South African farmers facing “persecution” due to their race are welcome to resettle in America.
Spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said the decision aligns with President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending aid to South Africa over its land expropriation policies.
“Persecuted South African farmers and other innocent victims being targeted solely based on their race will be welcome,” Bruce stated.
Despite Trump’s strict immigration policies, his administration frames their situation as a humanitarian crisis.
South Africa’s Afrikaner community, however, rejected the offer.
“We are indigenous to this country and are going nowhere,” said Kallie Kriel, CEO of Afriforum.
