Trump falsely claims that Australia is of white South Africans before the “genocide” | Australian immigration and asylum

Donald Trump has incorrectly claimed that Australia is “flooded” with white South Africans who have fled their farms, and repeated an unfounded conspiracy theory that white people in South Africa are systematically murdered and their country is given.

The US President organized a chaotic meeting with the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office of the White House, in which a video was played, of which he mistakenly claimed that he described himself against white people in South Africa as “genocide”, under which he described as the “opposite of apartheid”.

Trump has long claimed that Africans, a minority that mainly came from Dutch colonists, who ruled in her decades of racist apartheid South Africa. South Africa rejects the claim. The murder and violent crimes are high in the country, but the vast majority of the victims are black.

But Trump said Ramaphosa that white farmers from South Africa fled to the USA and Australia.

“They take the country of people and these people are executed in many cases,” he said.

“They are being executed. And they happen to be white and most of them are randomly farmers.

“We have thousands of people who want to come to our country. They also go to Australia in a smaller number.”

Trump later said a large number of white South African farmers flee to Australia.

“They take a look at Australia – they are flooded and we are flooded with people who want to get out and their farm is worthless.”

The Guardian asked the Australian Ministry of the Interior.

The former minister of interior matters, Peter Dutton, who lost his seat as opposition leader in the federal elections this month, suggested a special humanitarian admission of white South African farmers in 2018.

The committed program would have been modeled on the 12,000 additional locations for Syrian and Iraqi refugees who were sold by the Syrian civil war and the conflict against Daesh.

Dutton said in 2018 that white South African farmers “earn special attention” and “help from a civilized country like ours”.

“I asked the department to look for ways to provide help. We could provide more visas for people in the humanitarian program.”

At the time, the South African government said that “this threat did not exist” and the department for interior matters did not carry out a special program for white South Africans.

South Africa is not in the top 10 countries for humanitarian participants in Australia. Conflict cakes countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Myanmar dominate this list.

Australia -born population born in South Africa (not limited to humanitarian or beginners) is the seventh migrant community in Australia. It corresponds to about 2.6% of the population of Australia born abroad and 0.8% of the total population of Australia.

This year the United States started the resettlement of the White South Africans as refugees, and Trump said that Africans were victims of “genocide”. Fifty Africans arrived in the United States this month to take over Trump's “refuge”. He offered them asylum, although the United States had stopped the arrivals of asylum seekers from most of the other world when it dramatically restricts immigration.

US senator says that giving Africans transforms the asylum system into global apartheid video

The US Senator Chris Van Hollen accused the Trump administration of “mocking” the country's refugee process and transforming them into a system of “global apartheid” by giving Africans the asylum status, while she has left refugees from the war, including Sudan.

On Wednesday, Ramaphosa pushed back the statements of Trump in the US period and recognized the high crime rate of South Africa, but emphasized that most victims are black.

When the meeting became more chaotic and Trump's sound was more loud, Ramaphosa was determined.

“We were informed by Nelson Mandela that people always have to sit at the table and talk about them whenever there are problems,” he said. “And that's exactly what we would like to speak.”
