    [The decision to accept South Africans as refugees]

    South Africa does not have any “refugees”. The very suggestion is ludicrous. This is Trump lie #74394. The democratic majority government took over from the white supremist minority government 30 years ago. If there were going to be any reprisals for the repressive dictatorship it would have all happened 30 years ago.

      I agree these aren’t refugees, but your argument about nothing happening for 30 years so it can’t happen now is ridiculous. The politics change in SA just like in any other country, and nothing is stopping a new government from going after people for anything ranging from past deeds to skin color, even if it didn’t happen before.
