Trump plans refugee system favouring White people, English speakers: New York Times

The administration aims to reduce refugee admissions from 125,000 to 7,500 while prioritizing assimilation and giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans, and certain Europeans.

  • President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to prioritize white refugees, particularly South Africans and Europeans, while reducing the overall refugee program, as reported by The New York Times.
  • The proposed plan includes requiring prospective refugees to take classes on American history and respect for cultural norms, aligning the program with the administration's immigration vision.
  • While some proposals are under review, the Trump administration aims to limit refugee admissions to 7,500 next year, down from 125,000, impacting many awaiting resettlement.
  • Critics warn that these changes could transform the U.S. refugee program into a tool for white nationalism, prioritizing specific groups while excluding many others.
