Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's the projection of "all immigrants are rapists and thugs".
... especially the ones "of African descent" or from Africa must be what they're going for?
He's trying to import voters
All while encouraging racial violence in the USA.
What the article should have gone into in more detail is that this is utter nonsense, and that there are plenty of population groups across the world that are facing actual persecution, but of course that's of no interest at all to the MAGA crowd.
Last time the south Africans moved back because they didn't find the American Society to be very livable by south African standards.
Which is saying a lot. America is a banana republic
Immigrant hate come full circle to the point it actually becomes useful for once. If we could only rid ourselves of that one South African…
That upgrades South Africa's population by removing trash, no?
I think it's fun to imagine there are only a few hundred freaks with persecution complexes and then thousands of normal people with normal reasons to move who are like 'well this is extremely embarrassing to be associated with but this is super convenient for getting my visa'
I've got a friend working on this process right now. He openly admitted to me that the premise is fucked up and there are far more deserving populations that should be let in, but the simple fact is,he would be an absolute moron to pass up this opportunity for him and his family. It's a fast track to the place he wants to be and provides better futures for his children. Why wouldn't you take the free ticket?
Some of the people here on lemmy forget their humanity sometimes.
The fact is, that is attributed falsely to the end of apartheid by racists, South Africa is a very corrupt single party state; and getting worse since the 2008 recession. Despite the issues America is having at the moment; a lot of people still want to move there by contrast. So as was said; a large portion of the people being admitted are probably not lunatics.
Has anyone actually run into any of these South Africans? Are they giving them housing on military bases or are there Africa towns popping up in the middle of nowhere or something?
I mean 10k is a drop in the bucket; the mostly speak english, probably atomizing, but I don’t know.
These people are all white, so looking for an “Africa town” is head in the sand behavior. You’ll know you’ve met one of these people when they start talking about White Genocide with a Dutch accent.
This is basically a program for people like Elon Musk (rich Afrikaners with generational wealth), to give them a fast-track to US citizenship by pretending they’re being persecuted.
Musk will be happy with the colour choice.
This is musks pet project. Of course he’s happy, he ordered the nazi fucks in to join his ranks. Working on a private army of a apartheid assholes.
Lets import some street gangs from south Africa. That will surely make everything amazing.
They are dragging in the old slave owners of South Africa who are being ‘oppressed’ by their former slaves.
Didn't most of the first wave return because the US is a third world shithole?
So is South Africa. It is just that SA is cheap to live in and with a remote US job, you have a much higher quality of life.
Don't tell me, mine owners?
Did he already admit the 10,000 from like a few weeks ago? That must be a record in refugee admission rates.
