Trump welcomes South African refugees whitening closes Afghans and others

On the same day that dozens of South Africa whites arrived in the United States as refugees, at the invitation of President Trump himself, his administration said that thousands of Afghans can be deported starting this summer.

The immigration policies of Mr. Trump are full of contradictions, which are embodied on Monday’s arrival to a rented plane, paid by the US government, which carries dozens of African people who say they are facing racial discrimination at home.

The Trump administration’s focus on white Africans, a white ethnic minority, has ruled during the apartheid, is particularly amazing because it effectively prohibits most other refugees and targets both legal and illegal immigrants to deport. Among them are the Afghans who were granted the “temporary protected situation” after the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, many of whom had risked their lives to help the American forces.

Mr. Trump’s difficult line helped migrate to pushing him to the White House, where voters from both sides expressed his frustration with this issue. He promised to carry out the largest deportation in the history of the United States, and was one of the first executive orders in his second term to suspend the resettlement of refugees in the United States.

However, the administration’s decision, in terms of exception to the eggs, raised questions about who the “correct” immigrants were, from the point of view of Mr. Trump.

Christopher Landau, Deputy Foreign Minister, who received African refugees on Monday, told reporters that the group “was carefully examined.”

He said: “One of the criteria is that the refugees did not constitute any challenge to our national security and that they can be easily absorbed in our country,” without explaining what this means, or why the other population will not be easily absorbed.

When asked by a reporter to explain the reason for people welcoming South Africa even as Afghans lost their legal status in the United States, Mr. Landau suggested that the Afghans were not subject to adequate background checks, saying that the Biden administration “brought us people who were not carefully confirmed for national security issues.”

Tricia McLulin, Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security, said that the protection of Afghan immigrants was supposed to be temporary. Trump officials have argued that the temporary protected situation is used incorrectly, to allow people to stay in the United States indefinitely.

Mrs. McLeulin said: “Minister Nayywan made a decision to end TPS for individuals from Afghanistan because the improvement in the country and its stable economy no longer prevents them from returning to their homeland.”

Mr. Trump has long been inhabited against the refugees, claiming that resettlement programs overwhelm the country with unwanted people and allow criminals and terrorists in the United States.

But an exception to Avrikanis, who say they were discriminated to, denied job opportunities and were subjected to violence because of their race. Mr. Trump said on Monday that the United States “mainly spanned nationality” because it said they were victims of genocide.

There were murders of white farmers, an African hazel axis, but police statistics show that they are not more vulnerable to violent crime than others in the country.

Three decades after the end of the apartheid, South Africa continues to control land ownership. It also works at much higher rates than South Africa and less likely to live in poverty.

P. Deep Gulasekaram, Professor of Immigration Law at the University of Colorado Law College, said that the exceptions made on the egg African – while other groups are kept – “publicly providing a narration of global persecution of eggs.”

“The logic of the Trump administration to deny them the Afghan protected situation is that Afghan immigrants will not face” a serious threat to their personal safety because of the ongoing armed conflict. “(The serious personal threats of” ongoing armed conflict “are among the standards specified for the temporary protected situation in the American immigration law.)

Experts in the situation in Afghanistan asked about this logic, noting that the security threats remain and that the Afghans who collaborated with the American forces during the occupation of America 20 years are still at risk of imprisonment, torture or death.

After the American forces left the country, Taliban officials said they would not carry out reprisals against the people who helped the American forces or the Afghan government supported by the former United States.

But 2023 The UN Auxiliary Mission in Afghanistan At least 800 violations of human rights were documented against former officials and members of the armed forces who served under the US -backed government. Violations included “outside judiciary killings, enforced disappearance, arbitrary arrests, detention, torture, bad treatment and threats.”

The report found that former Afghan army members were in great danger, followed by national and local police officers, and the people who worked in the former government security directorate.

“What the administration did today is the betrayal of the people who risked their lives for America, built a life here and believed in our promises,” Sean Vandever, President of the Afghanvac Group, said in a statement.
