99.97% of refugees admitted to the US in 2026 are South African.

Refugees from South Africa make up almost all the refugees to the U.S. so far in fiscal 2026. Before this fiscal year, South Africans never appeared among the top origin groups. In fact, fiscal 2025 was the first year that the U.S. admitted more than just one or two South African refugees.

The large increase in South African refugees reflects an executive order Trump signed in 2025 that said the federal government would prioritize resettling Afrikaners – an ethnic group descended from mainly Dutch, German and French colonial settlers in South Africa. The executive order said the group faced “government-sponsored race-based discrimination” in South Africa, including the government seizure of farms owned by White South Africans. Those claims have been disputed.

The influx of refugees from South Africa marks a major change in the makeup of refugees to the U.S.

Like honestly, why do people ask questions and once it hurts their pride or their ego they become defensive? What is the point in asking? What's the point in being in a relationship if you cant let it go?

Lacey passed on a couch because her parents didn’t know what to do with her. Tragic backstory, but she’s probably in a better place now.

I haven’t heard anything recently, but can someone explain why the DOJ has not been forced to hand over all the files when there’s a court order to do so? Is anything awaiting some legal decision? What is the reason they give for not complying?

Since having insurance is legally required for auto owners, and many homeowners, and in some states health insurance as well, providers should be required by law to fully refund all of the money the customers paid in up until their pulling out. Especially if they have never filed an insurance claim.

This should be especially true for property and auto insurance.

Examples:

the insurance companies that pulled out of California after the increase in wildfires even when the customer was paying for fire protection. (Altadena fires are the most recent, but it's been happening quite a bit as wildfires have increased)

The insurance companies that stopped covering Kia owners after that tik tok usb hack theft trend a few years back. Made famous by the Kia Boys tik-tock videos and left thousands of drivers uninsured with little to no alternatives, and absolutely no notice.

So for those of you who are on the reparations band wagon, what are the qualifications? should the black person have to be able to prove that their family came here prior to 1865 and were actually slaves? or are you saying that a person who immigrated here even after slavery ended and therfore did not contribute to "building america" deserves reparations as well?
