Why do you assume that black or hispanic voters would be offended by offering refugee to these refugees?
Seriously, well let's contrast this Afrikaner population with Trump's favorite scapegoat, Venezuela. I am interested to see the demographics of these Afrikaners. But what we know now about the Venezuelan refugee population.
Venezuelans comprise one of the fastest-growing immigrant groups in the United States, nearly tripling in size from 2010 to 2021. Much of this migration has been fueled by crisis in Venezuela, where political unrest and economic strife have caused millions to flee since 2015, most remaining in...

Compared to all U.S. immigrants, Venezuelans are far more likely to have a college degree and less likely to be naturalized citizens—the latter an unsurprising development given the recency of their arrival. They are also more likely to secure legal permanent residence (also known as getting a green card) after being granted humanitarian protection.
Venezuelan immigrants tend to be younger than the overall foreign-born population but older than the U.S. born. Their median age in 2021 was about 41 years old, compared to 47 for all immigrants and 37 for the native born.
Venezuelan immigrants were more likely than the native- and overall foreign-born populations to be of working age (18 to 64 years old
Venezuelan adults have higher rates of educational attainment than both the native- and overall foreign-born populations. In 2021, approximately 57 percent of Venezuelan immigrants ages 25 and older reported having a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 35 percent of U.S.-born and 34 percent of immigrant adults. The share of Venezuelan immigrants with a college degree is even higher among those who arrived between 2017 and 2021: 62 percent.
Venezuelans participate in the labor force at much higher rates than the native born and overall foreign-born population. About 74 percent of Venezuelan immigrants ages 16 and older were in the civilian labor force in 2021, compared to 66 percent and 62 percent for the foreign- and U.S.-born populations, respectively. Venezuelans were more likely to be employed in sales and office occupations than other workers
Venezuelans are more likely to be covered by private health insurance and less likely to be covered by public insurance than all immigrants and the U.S. born. The share who were uninsured (17 percent) is slightly lower than that of all immigrants
Educated, more so than native born Americans, working age, more likely than the native population, labor participation rate, highest of all immigrants and most all of them have higher labor participation rates than native born Americans. Hell, they are even more likely to have private health insurance than native born Americans.
These are the very qualities that have been presented as justifying these Afrikaners. Difference, seven million Venezuelans have fled the country in the last decade. How many Afrikaners have fled South Africa, how many even want to? Furthermore, many of those Venezuelans passed through the Dorian Gap, ON FOOT, while the Afrikaners sailed in on a private jet paid for by the American taxpayer.
