据周二提交给国会、由CBS新闻获取的一份通知显示,特朗普政府计划在未来12个月内接收最多17500名额外的南非白人阿非利卡人作为难民。

美国国务院告知国会官员,特朗普政府计划在2027财年预留17500个难民名额,且这些名额“主要”将分配给阿非利卡人。特朗普总统称阿非利卡人因白人身份遭受压迫。2027财年将于10月开启。

尽管第二届特朗普政府实际上已叫停针对全球大多数逃离迫害与暴力人群的美国难民安置项目,但却为阿非利卡人开辟了例外,在过去一年半时间里已安置了数千名阿非利卡人。

特朗普政府官员将阿非利卡人描述为后种族隔离时代南非种族压迫的受害者。南非政府始终否认迫害这一由欧洲定居者后裔(大多为荷兰后裔)组成的少数族裔。

国务院在提交给国会的通知中称:“阿非利卡人面临着无偿没收农业财产;旨在破坏就业、教育和商业领域机会平等的政府政策;以及煽动针对受种族歧视少数族裔不成比例暴力的仇恨言论。”

上周,美国对其声称应对歧视阿非利卡人行为负责的南非官员实施了新制裁。

这份提交给国会的通知显示,阿非利卡人安置计划预计将耗资5亿美元。

通知中写道:“美国预计南非阿非利卡人将完全融入美国社会,这样可以将纳税人的资源保留给美国公民,且预计不会有其他国家重新安置阿非利卡人。”

特朗普曾声称阿非利卡人在南非面临“种族灭绝”。去年在一场紧张的椭圆形办公室会议中,他就这一说法与南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨对峙,并向其展示了一段聚焦该国农场谋杀案的视频。

这些说法遭到了强烈驳斥。今年早些时候的一则《60分钟》报道中,阿非利卡人拒绝了“白人正面临种族灭绝”的说法,并表示农场谋杀案与南非一个危害所有种族群体的大范围犯罪问题有关。

Trump administration to welcome up to 17,500 more White South Africans as refugees

The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by CBS News.

The State Department informed congressional officials that the Trump administration is planning to allocate 17,500 refugee spots for fiscal year 2027, and that they will “primarily” go to Afrikaners, who President Trump has claimed are being oppressed for being White. Fiscal year 2027 starts in October.

While the second Trump administration has effectively shut down the U.S. refugee resettlement program for most people fleeing persecution and violence around the world, it has made an exemption for Afrikaners, resettling thousands of them over the past year and a half.

Trump administration officials have portrayed Afrikaners as victims of racial oppression in post-apartheid South Africa. The South African government has consistently denied persecuting the ethnic minority, made up of descendants of European settlers, mostly from the Netherlands.

“Afrikaners face the seizure of agricultural property without compensation; government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business; and hateful rhetoric fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored minorities,” the State Department said in its notice to Congress.

Last week, the U.S. imposed new sanctions on South African officials who it said were responsible for discriminating against Afrikaners.

The Afrikaner resettlement effort is projected to cost the U.S. government $500 million, the notice to Congress said.

“The United States anticipates that Afrikaners from South Africa will fully assimilate into the United States in a manner that preserves taxpayer resources for U.S. citizens and does not anticipate other countries resettling Afrikaners,” the notice read.

Mr. Trump has alleged that Afrikaners face a “genocide” in South Africa. In a tense Oval Office meeting last year, he confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the claims, showing him a video that spotlighted murders of farmers in the country.

Those claims have been strongly disputed. A “60 Minutes” report earlier this year featured Afrikaners who rejected the notion that White people are facing a “genocide” and said murders on farms were linked to a broader crime problem in South Africa that harms members of all races.
