How Libs Reacted to the Arrival of 59 White South African Refugees Was Beyond Predictable

There’s a new batch of refugees coming into America, but the Left and their liberal media allies hate it for a simple reason: they’re white. They don’t even hide it. It’s a few dozen farmers fleeing the violence that’s reportedly engulfed the South African countryside, with some claiming that there’s a white genocide occurring. We can’t say that for sure, though there have been numerous killings of white farmers in South Africa that have been going on for years.

The media is melting down, and now the Episcopal Church is dissolving its relationship with the federal government regarding resettling refugees (via NPR):

In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration. 

In a letter sent to members of the church, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe — the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church — said that two weeks ago, the government "informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees."

The request, Rowe said, crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church, which is part of the global Anglican Communion, which boasts among its leaders the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a celebrated and vocal opponent of apartheid in South Africa.

The announcement came just as flights with Afrikaners were scheduled to arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport, outside Washington, D.C. — the first batch of entries after Trump declared via a February executive order that the U.S. would take in "Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination." The South African government has stridently denied allegations of systemic racial animus, as has a coalition of white religious leaders in the region that includes many Anglicans. 

[…] 

That change has left refugees — including Christians fleeing religious persecution — without a clear path forward and has forced the 10 refugee resettlement groups, seven of which are faith based, to lay off scores of workers while still trying to support refugees who had recently arrived. Four of the faith groups have since filed two separate lawsuits, one of which recently resulted in a ruling that should have restarted the program.

So, we accept a few dozen farmers from South Africa, and longstanding resettlement programs must be nixed. But when it’s a horde of third-world migrants who come in the tens of thousands—that’s okay. It’s ridiculous. Let’s not forget that at the border during the Biden years, migrant encounters numbered the population of Pittsburgh regularly.  

We know why liberals are upset here. 

The rest of the reactions were gold:
