Even setting Trump's framing of South Africa aside here, it's important to note the questioner clearly states other refugees are facing "famine and war" and thus, of course, are facing imminent death.

At the end of the day, Trump appears to be letting in mostly β€”Β if not *only* β€”Β Afrikaners.

BREAKING: Pope Francis Dies at 88. Here's How He Should Be Remembered The late pontiff was a progressive pope who was outspoken on Trump, Gaza, the climate, and more.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

#Foreignaid is not the solution to all #development and #humanitarian challenges, BUT slashing an already depressingly low #aidbudget to 0.2% is hugely damaging and very disappointing from a #Labour government.
