(4,011 posts)They would need to be fleeing based on a WELL FOUNDED FEAR for their safety based on race, ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation...1951 Refugee Convention
These are angry white folks who believe they should be able to oppress the majority.
There is no reasonable and well founded fear for their safety.
These are people who have emigrated from South Africa...to call them anything else plays into the lies that Hispanic refugees (by legal definition) are somehow illegal but these asshats are somehow oppressed.

This is a conservative partisan. I'm not at all surprised she's concerned about white South African immigrants not getting a red carpet welcome, or that she sees them as "refugees".
