South African Refugees Are Left to Fend for Themselves

A Free Press investigation found that failures in the government-funded refugee system are marring Trump’s decision to welcome South African

...welcome South Africans, a Free Press investigation found. Languishing in cockroach-infested apartments, walking miles to the grocery store for food, and eating just one meal a day to save money. This is life in America for some newly arrived Afrikaner refugees from South Africa. “There were people slumped over everywhere from using fentanyl and prostitution happening on the street corners,” said a former farmer who arrived in Denver with his wife and mother in September. He told me that the nonprofit group funded by the federal government to help the family get back on their feet placed them in a moldy, dirty basement apartment in a high-crime area. The Free Press spoke to 10 people from South Africa who have entered the United States as refugees since President Donald Trump opened the door to Afrikaners who “are victims of unjust racial discrimination,” in the words of his February 2025 executive order. The order announced that Afrikaners, an ethnic minority of white South Africans who are descendants of 17th-century Dutch and French Huguenot settlers, would be prioritized for resettlement in the U.S. That also made them eligible for government benefits and a path to citizenship, even as the maximum number of refugees allowed into the U.S. was cut to 7,500 for the current fiscal year—down 94 percent from 125,000 per year during the Biden administration. Trump’s move to welcome Afrikaners over people from elsewhere was highly controversial. Democratic House members Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, and Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois and Alex Padilla of California, accused the president of skipping over “tens of thousands of refugees who have been waiting in line for years” and “prioritizing a single privileged racial group.” The first 59 Afrikaners arrived in May. As of this week, 1,647 Afrikaners have arrived as refugees, and the U.S. government anticipates that 5,380 more will follow by September 30. Several of the refugees I spoke to said they have been largely left to fend for themselves, a sign of dysfunction in the government-supervised network of seven large nonprofits that are responsible for providing refugees with temporary housing, cash for food, and help scheduling appointments with government agencies for Social Security numbers and Medicaid.
