Well....for those who haven't followed South Africa....in the past month or two, the country finally signed off on on the Expropriation Bill [B23-2020]. It basically says when the gov't feels like it....it can take (without payment) farmland, orchards, vineyards, and 'redistribute' to locals. How the locals are determined? Unknown.
So...Trump came out and said this agenda is unfair, and that if you intend to expropriate....you have to pay off the 'hurt-party'. South Africa probably freaked out when they read that comment.
Trump's next reaction? Treat the Afrikaner folks (the whites) as refugees, and ease them into the US.
Who are the Afrikaners. They are a Southern African ethnic group....descended down from predominantly Dutch settlers....who came to the Cape of Good Hope in 1652.
Population? 2.7-million were listed from a decade ago.
Would I divide them into three or more status groups? Yeah....you have the farmers who are still doing well financially, and haven't seen their farms taken.
At the bottom, there's probably around 300,000 in a welfare class and having trouble.
So if they are granted refugee status? My humble view? I think he will sign off on 300,000 being resettled into the US (in 2025)....with at least six to ten jumbo 747 (400 pax) per week.
As for where they end up in bulk? Well....I'm guessing districts that are marginally 'owned' by Democrats today, and in four years...would be less 'owned' by Democrats (like eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, upstate Michigan, and southern Georgia).
Crazy scenario? Absolutely, and only by South Africa reversing it's take-property concept...would it stop.
Just plain white (Dutch) refugees? Yeah, that's the amazing part of the story. Their loyalty to Trump? It would be awful intense.
A problem for CNN to explain why it's racist to deny Afrikaners? Maybe.
