JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?

ANA NAVARRO, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Holland.

ALLISON: -- Holland.

JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?

ALLISON: I'm against the hypocrisy of this administration.

JENNINGS: No. No. That's not the question. The question is, are you against them coming here?

ALLISON: If there was actually a genocide happening like there is in other places in Sudan, in The Congo, I would not I'm not opposed for Congolese and for the Sudanese to come to Africa just like I'm not opposed to Venezuelans and South Americans coming to America if they are fleeing and looking for asylum.

(CROSSTALK)

JENNINGS: Oh -- you're just -- these 50 people you are against.

ALLISON: What I am against, it's not about being against them. What I am against is that they are being given special treatment when there is not a genocide happening in South Africa, and they just don't like the law of the land. You know what they tell people.

JENNINGS: Well, there's been violence.

NAVARRO: But there's -- there's huge -- there's a very high crime rate in -- in South Africa. They have a current problem. I suspect that part of what's going on here is that there is a very high profile white South African named Elon Musk who is very close to President Trump and is probably, making this a very high profile, issue, and -- and talking to Trump about it.

You know, it's been, I mean, Elon Musk has tweeted about it. He's, I think, told the president of South Africa about it. He's been talking about this for a long time. Look, here's -- here's the problem. There's -- there's Afghanis who helped us over there at the -- at risk of their own lives, whose refugee status had been approved, who are now being told to get out.

There -- there is actually a case in court right now -- Pacito. Pacito, the lead plaintiff, is from Congo, and he is, where there is an actual genocide. And there were 12,000 refugees from countries where there is genocide who have been processed, who sold their homes. Some of them have been waiting for years in third countries who have been approved for refugee status, which Donald Trump has banned.

So, it's very difficult to reconcile and understand why these white Afrikaners are okay, but the black and brown people fleeing political persecution and fleeing actual genocide are not. And so the word of the day, which is, I guess, hard for some people to say, is selective racism.

"The white [South] Africans, are not originally from South Africa... if the Afrikaners don't like the land, they can leave that country. They can go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany, or Holland."

It's OK if South Africa fails as a nation-state once all of the Boers are gone because the United States of America and its fountain of White Guilt will always supply plenty of foreign aid to South Africa
