Trump greets white South African refugees while he closes Afghan and others

On the same day, on which dozens of white South Africans arrived in the United States as refugees, at the invitation of President Trump, his government said that thousands of Afghans could be deported from this summer.

Mr. Trump's immigration policy is full of contradictions that are embodied by the arrival of a charterjet paid by the American government on Monday and wear dozens of Africans who say that they are exposed to racial discrimination at home.

The focus of the Trump government on white Africans, a white ethnic minority that ruled during apartheid, is particularly striking because it effectively forbids most other refugees and aims for deportation equally for deportation. This includes Afghans, which, after the catastrophic US withdrawal from Afghanistan, was granted a “temporary protected status” in 2021, many of which had risked their lives to help American armed forces.

Mr. Trump's hard immigration border helped him bring him back to the White House when the voters of both parties expressed frustration on the topic. He promised to carry out the greatest deportation operation in the history of the US history, and one of the first orders of his second term in which there was to suspend refugees in the United States.

According to Mr. Trump's view, the government's decision to work out an exception for white Africans raised questions about who the “right” immigrants are.

Christopher Landau, the deputy foreign minister, who welcomed the African refugees on Monday, said reporters that the group had been “carefully checked”.
