Thread: Petitions to substitute the Boers for other "refugees"

  1. #1

    Petitions to substitute the Boers for other "refugees"

    South Africa’s white farmers have their collective heads on the block following the vote by the country’s parliament to expropriate their land without compensation. The plan’s main proponent, Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, says white farmers are “criminals” who must be driven off the land. Make no mistake, this is shorthand for extermination. Congress should immediately direct that U.S. refugee policy be reoriented to rescue these victims threatened by looming—indeed, developing—genocide, as it did with the notorious Lautenberg Amendment, which captured the U.S. refugee intake to favor Soviet Jews. But President Trump doesn’t have to wait—there is precedent for immediate Executive Action.

    Even the Leftist Newsweek Magazine takes a dim view of the future for white farmers in a country once touted as a burgeoning “rainbow” paradise where “one man, one vote” and Marxist central planning would lead to prosperity for all South Africans—blacks, whites, coloreds and Asians. [Thousands Sign Petition Asking Trump to Let White Farmers in South Africa Migrate to U.S. After Country Votes to Force Them Off Land, by Chantal Da Silver, Newsweek, March 1, 2018] Newsweek’s story noted a Change.org online petition of more than 18,000 signatures asking Trump to accept white South African Christians in place of Somali Muslims and Middle Easterners who are difficult to vet and prone to non-assimilation. There’s also a White House petition: Immigration Priority to South African Farmers facing Systematic Land Confiscations and Murder February 28, 2018. But Trump already holds all the executive power he needs, and the legal cover, to pull off a sweeping rescue mission of South African refugees. A provision in the 1980 Refugee Act specifically allows for emergency extraction of vulnerable populations subject only to a Congressional hearing (not legislation):
    (B) After the President initiates appropriate consultation prior to making a determination, under subsection (b), that the number of refugee admissions should be increased because of an unforeseen emergency refugee situation, to the extent that time and the nature of the emergency refugee situation permit, a hearing to review the proposal to increase refugee admissions shall be held unless public disclosure of the details of the proposal would jeopardize the lives or safety of individuals.
    Of course, ideally Trump would also get Congress on board with a plan for an emergency increase in refugees from South Africa. He could lean on Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. to pitch in and accept these threatened farmers.
    It’s been done before. In 1990 the U.S. Congress adopted legislation creating the Lautenberg program, named after U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, to resettle Soviet Jews in the United States.
    The Lautenberg program was then expanded in 2003 to pave the way for persecuted Iranian Christians to be resettled in the U.S.
    All that is needed is for the president to step up and lead.

    Hopefully they can find a way to stay. If they have to leave, Holland seems like it should be the first choice, maybe the UK. That being said, there was a lot of migration to the US from SA back in the 90s.

    While not a fan of putting people in the front of the immigration line because "it's for the (refugee) children!", if one does subscribe to refugee priority, this would be a case that would probably qualify.

    Id rather they declare their independence from SA, form their own country rendering the expropriation invalid. Then get Trump to officially recognize their new country and sell them any munitions they want to defend themselves.

    If we were going to get a moratorium I would support it, but since they are going to let in a certain number of "refugees" then it might as well be the Boers who are closer to our culture and are actually in danger of being genocided.

    That would be better, I have said before that they should have divided SA, but I don't see it happening.

    I would rather not take any new immigrants but the Boers are closer to our culture than those they would replace. (it has NOTHING to do with their skin color, I would say the same thing if they were black and the communists in SA were white as long as they were closer to our culture than the "refugees" they would replace)

    You say that, but Mr. Swordsmyth hates secularism, which is enshrined in the first amendment. Perhaps "our culture" isn't as uniform as you might think

    Am sure it has been pointed out, most of the peoples that are being targeted by elitist agendas are peoples that are strongly independent and liberty minded, since they are a direct threat to their system

    The problem with secularists in general is that most tend to be leftists - when people threw out God, they had to replace him with something and most people chose to replace God with the state and worship the state.

    It used to be that Christian religious groups fought over government power in Europe, until Europe decided to separate church and state. Now racial groups, minorities and special interest groups fight over government power. This is called identity politics.

    What we need to do is like what we did with separating church and state by getting rid of identity politics which we can do by ensuring that everyone is treated equally under the law. That will NOT result in equal outcomes between genders and races, but they will have to live with that and understand that the resulting disparity in income that occurs in a free market is not because certain groups are stealing from other groups or because capitalists are oppressive.. it is because of differences in IQ, culture, work ethic, etc. But that requires a conversation that the world doesn't seem to be ready or willing to have at the moment.

    What we need to do is separate church and state as well as get rid of identity politics by ensuring that everyone is treated equally under the law. That will NOT result in equal outcomes between genders and races, but they will have to live with that and understand that the resulting disparity in come that occurs in a free market is not because certain groups are stealing from other groups or because capitalists are oppressive.. it is because of differences in IQ, culture, work ethic, etc. But that requires a conversation that the world doesn't seem to be ready or willing to have at the moment.
    And most non secularists who amble their way into Parliament expect everyone else to worship the state as well in addition to their own God. Except outside of the US its arguably worse. Time for them to get some hobbies instead of creating more mischief.

    Secularism is hostility to religion, throwing the ten commandments (the cultural foundation of our legal system) out of court houses and tearing down war memorials with crosses was never part of our culture or what the founders intended.

    That's interesting, I had no idea that was the definition of secular. I thought it meant non-religious.

    Colloquially I think people generally view a secular society as one that is largley non-religious, as opposed to a religious society that simply resides in a country that allows freedom of religion.
