First group of Afrikaners granted refugee status are on their way to the U.S.

The first Afrikaners assigned refugee status by Trump are due to arrive in the US today.

This article presents a better summary of the situation than many other non-South African outlets, which fail to present a critical perspective of the false, hyped up or misleading claims the refugee status is based on.

The article is newsworthy because NPR quote an anonymous government employee who says that he personally considers this situation to be immigration fraud.

I have always heard NPR is a reliable source of news, so I figured it is newsworthy to post this piece here before they arrive in the US and the Trump admin has a chance to spread more misinformation.
