The United States will begin admitting the first group of White South African refugees next week, whom President Trump’s administration has argued have been victims of “racial discrimination.”
“The refugee program is not intended as a solution for global poverty. And historically it has been used that way…this is an example of the president returning the refugee program to what it’s intended to be used as,” White House’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Friday.
“What’s happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created…race based persecution,” Miller, Trump’s chief immigration policy architect, told reporters.
Miller’s remarks came after he was asked about news reports that at least 50 Afrikaners would be flown from Johannesburg to the U.S.
Around 60 Afrikaners are expected to arrive at the Dulles International Airport Monday on a State Department-chartered jet, The Washington Post reported Friday, citing documents and emails it obtained, along with three government officials familiar with the matter.
