The Trump administration intends to accept a further 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States in addition to the 6,000 Afrikaners already accepted, raising the 2026 cap to 17,500. Meanwhile, several patriotic Afrikaner organizations appealed to President Trump to help Afrikaners stay in their ancestral home.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he was increasing the refugee cap for white South Africans because of “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation”, signing an executive order to “increase the ceiling to 17,500.” Trump blamed the South African government for “recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence”.

The South African Government deeply concerned over dwindling tax base as hundreds of thousands of thousands of Afrikaners (and other whites) leave, or have already left the country.

The biggest concern is over-reliance on the small white taxpayer base:

If too many more top earners emigrate, the tax base will shrink to critical level from which there is little chance of recovery.

One of our Afrikaner contributors said, "On the one hand they hate us and want us dead and gone, while on the other hand they want our taxes. They will soon learn that they can't have both!"
