Lets see the excuse for this one.
Trump remaking refugee system to favor white and English-speaking people
President Donald Trump came under heavy criticism earlier this year for using the U.S. refugee resettlement program to take in white Afrikaners, based on far-right conspiracy theories of a "white genocide" in South Africa that are debunked by local police statistics and other data.
But this could be just the beginning, according to a new report by The New York Times.
New documents reveal Trump is planning to undertake "a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration," wrote Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz — a change that would "transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out."
One of the major changes, according to the report, would be to require any prospective refugee to take classes on “American history and values” and “respect for cultural norms.” It also advocates for giving refugee status to Europeans who support extreme far-right parties like Germany's AfD, which have faced some sanctions by various governments for expressing hate speech.
