Rep. Ilhan Omar is predictably upset with Donald Trump’s offer to resettle persecuted White South Africans.
In one of his first executive orders after taking office, Trump halted all refugee resettlement programs implemented under the Biden administration.
However, he has since announced an exception for Afrikaners, the White descendants of Dutch colonialists in South Africa, who face vicious anti-White persecution at the hands of the ruling regime.
This persecution mainly involves land seizures but also involves general discrimination, harassment, or violence.
Around 17,000 White South Africans, sometimes known as Boers, have applied for refugee status.
“I think making our refugee resettlement system into one that is discriminatory obviously is problematic,” said Omar, who entered the U.S. by obtaining refugee status, in an interview with HuffPost.
“It’s currently halted, and he wants to make an exception only for white people — that just is plainly wrong and ridiculous.”

Omar then suggested that those White people were to blame for apartheid in South Africa, despite the majority of them being only children when the racist regime was in power.
“I don’t think people who facilitated apartheid should be looked at as the ones that are being oppressed,” she complained.
“But Elon Musk is getting his money’s worth.”
The Executive Order, which also stripped South Africa of all foreign aid funding, took aim at “countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners.”
It also accused South Africa of taking “aggressive positions” towards the United States and its allies, namely Israel, by trying to bring genocide charges against them in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over their handling of the war against Hamas.
“The United States shall not provide aid or assistance to South Africa” and “shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation,” it continued.
The far-left South African government has reacted angrily to the move and suggested that the wealth of White South Africans means they can’t face discrimination.
“It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the U.S. for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged,” the South African Foreign Ministry said.
