This is how you’re greeted as you enter America IF you’re white, John.
Let’s get this straight:
The Trump administration builds walls, separates families, and labels Black and Brown immigrants fleeing violence and oppression as “criminals” and “illegal aliens.” But they roll out the red carpet for white South Africans.
In case you forgot, Trump effectively suspended the U.S. refugee admissions program in January.
But according to the Trump administration, the pause of the refugee program is subject to exceptions when the refugees “could be assimilated easily into our country.”
This isn’t immigration policy—this is white supremacy policy.
When Black and Brown people seek refuge from genuine violence, persecution, and harm, they're thrown into detention centers, criminalized, and dehumanized.
Yet when white immigrants show up, they’re instantly offered asylum, safety, comfort, and fanfare.
This hypocrisy reveals everything: it was never about borders, never about safety—it was always about race. It’s about who Trump and his administration believe deserves protection, who’s allowed to belong, and whose humanity is recognized.
We refuse to stay silent. Support our fight against Trump’s racist immigration policies and all of the white supremacist policies that this administration is furthering by chipping in right now.
