I have no problem with giving tax funds to refugees in need--but this Trump group is so obviously in a class of Whites Only. IMHO.

............The government documents show resettlement officials were told they can use funds administered by HHS' Office of Refugee Resettlement to help Afrikaners secure housing, household items and basic necessities during their first 90 days in America, including "groceries, weather-appropriate clothing, diapers, formula, hygiene products, and prepaid phones."

CBS News reached out to the Departments of State and Health and Human Services about the plans to resettle Afrikaners as refugees.

In a statement, the State Department said the American embassy in Pretoria, South Africa has been interviewing those who have applied for resettlement to the U.S. under Mr. Trump's directive to welcome Afrikaners and that it continues to receive inquiries.

"While we are unable to comment on individual cases, the Department of State is prioritizing consideration for U.S. refugee resettlement of Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination," the department added.
