Not sure if I have posted in the right area, but this is the first time I have signed one of these. Farmers in South Africa are being brutally slaughtered, with their family member being mutilated by death squads. Now the South African government has voted to seize their farms. While South Africa will shortly turn into a Haiti or Zimbabwe, we can do something for the farmers. If you are willing, please sign. immigration-priority-south-african-farmers-facing-systematic-land-confiscations-and-murder
From Petition:
"We the People call upon Congress to apply immigration priority to the South African Farmers facing systematic land confiscation and murder by their own government. These government sanctioned land confiscations / murders are race related (See here - https://tinyurl.com/y7mfmhco ) and our governments responsibility to act by UN law ( See here - https://tinyurl.com/ya5fn63p ) Must not be ignored. White South African Farmers facing genocide in their home land should be given priority as they not only face extinction in their homelands but also stand as a primary example of the kind of immigrants we would want here in our own country as they speak English and share a common ancestry and way of life as our own. Please give precedent to this issue and save the South Africans from this atrocity."
The result will hardly be Boer-ing (pun, pun, pun)
I completely agree. But mass migration based on the quality of the culture leaves the cultural deviants unexposed.
We don't want a cultural migration. We want migrants that want to be Americans. We need to decide that one at a time.
But I look forward to drinking with the blokes that get here.
South Africa is their home. They've inhabited the land since the early 1600s. When Dutch settlers arrived, no one was there. There was nothing. Just prime land waiting to get settled.
This would be like Native Americans telling whites to go back to Europe.
A better solution: Give the Afrikaners arms. And let them have the western half of SA. A giant wall should be erected in the middle. Whites have their half, blacks can have the Eastern half. We'll see which one goes to s--t first.
Is there any verifiable evidence as to how they will vote?
It’s my recollection that South Africa’s white government, before the end of apartheid, was modeled after a typical European Socialist government.
Unless they vote 80% Conservative, send them all back to northern Europe.
Because we don't need any more welfare or food stamp leeches. Just because they're white doesn't mean they're going to magically learn about our Constitution and systems. White South Africans today aren't the same as a generation ago.
You've got more than 10 million illegals who have no such restrictions.
Yeah well...we share a border and hemisphere with 3rd-world nations so that's expected. SA is in a different continent.
If their land is confiscated in SA, then they would be no more than migrants, without money, income, or property. Don’t we already have millions of those here, illegally?
Steyn said America gives Communist South Africa almost $400 million a year in foreign aid.
Forget that noise!
Re: “When Dutch settlers arrived, no one was there.”
I just learned that few days ago.
I read an article that said almost every Black person in South Africa can be traced back to one of the major tribes that migrated in AFTER the Dutch arrived.
But alas, socialism....
I am pleasantly surprised, that ANYONE wants to help whitey these days. Somebody pinch me.
Can’t we just bomb South Africa?
I definitely know about their oil and gas reserves...
Farmland I did not know.
And Climate?
Hmmm. Just a couple hundred miles from the equator, plus tropical humidity.
Unless they have cooler highlands, no thank you.
They can’t just leave until some country decides to take them in, hence, the petition. I agree that they have to work, but we let in others who a total drain on the taxpayer and who face NO violence.
It is about skin color, take the “white owned “farm land, you must have missed that, oh, and what’s his name from south Africa said he didn’t say they should be killed.... yet.
After I read the memoir I mentioned above.....these people are some of the hardest workers around & they are a proud people. Reading where they did not get the expected amount of cash for their crops was heartbreaking. They kept it inside & wives would pawn wedding rings & jewelry to keep them going.
It was a life that would drive the less strong to suicide. I truly can’t recommend the memoir “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight.” Ask yourself if you could have done/ do what they did. These are WORKING people.
Signed it a few days ago. Hope many many people do too.
Nope, I understand. I understand that the Blacks in South Africa threatening to rob and kill these people are racists persecuting folks just because of their skin color. You, on the other hand, apparently want to bring hundreds of thousands of people to the US just because of their skin color. Hmmmm....
Farmers everywhere are hard workers. It doesn't matter if they're farming in the US or farming in Africa. You think African farmers are lazy leeches? Are you racist? LOL
To where will your progeny flee?
The petition says that the UN makes laws that the US is compelled to follow. I wouldn't sign that in a million years.
But, I do not object to those Whites being threatened in SA coming here, in general. What I object to is bringing a large, unvetted population to the US on the assumption that they are all good guys because they are white. The DACA kids are white and how well has that worked out? Anyway, I am just suggesting that we set up an expedited vetting process for these endangered people and admit them to the country as individuals after the background checks.
So, answer a question for me. What are your plans for these folks meaning where will they live, what will they eat, who will employ these hundreds of thousands of farmers, etc?
