From the Daily Caller: The Trump administration hopes to begin taking in thousands of Afrikaner refugees from South Africa by the end of this summer, a State Department official told the Daily Caller Friday.
In February, President Donald Trump signed an executive order promoting resettling Afrikaner refugees in the U.S. In early May, 59 Afrikaners arrived in the U.S. before a meeting later in the month between Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The official told the Caller that the number of Afrikaner refugees is expected to rise sharply “towards the second half of summer.”
“We won’t be talking about dozens of arrivals, but hundreds and perhaps thousands,” the official said.
Although the official said he does not have an exact time frame, he said he “would feel confident in saying that … towards the second half of summer, we’ll start to massively scale this up.”
The official said that there is a backlog of over 50,000 refugee applications, and they expect that this number will “continue to rise.”
Daily Caller reporter Derek VanBuskirk announced, “A State Department Official told @DailyCaller Friday that thousands of Afrikaner refugees from South Africa can be expected to come to the US starting midsummer. I’m flying to South Africa TODAY to report on claims of genocide and to talk to locals.”
