Trump welcomes Afrikaner 'refugees' while door remains closed to others

HOW could we have been so ignorant? Afrikaners were being persecuted right under our nose, in our own country.

- 

They were beaten and driven off their land, their homes looted and many murdered and raped.

How could this happen in this day of mass media and we know nothing about it?

Yet Trump, thousands of miles away, heard about the terrible plight of the Afrikaners in South Africa and felt very sorry for them.

Known for using hyperbole in language, he accused the South African government of “killing the white farmer” and even committing genocide against the defenceless Afrikaner.

Big-hearted as he was, he opened his arms to them and granted them refugee status.

And like Moses, he brought them across the vast Atlantic to the promised land, America, their new home, the land of opportunities and dreams. The Afrikaners are indeed lucky to have the world’s most powerful man who has their welfare at heart.
