A new poll finds that most Americans oppose prioritizing white South African refugees—known as Afrikaners—over others, even as the U.S. government recently admitted a small group under that rationale.
The survey, conducted by Yahoo News/YouGov, revealed that 61% support accepting refugees in general, yet only 36% favored accepting Afrikaners, with 31% opposed and 32% unsure. When respondents were told Afrikaners were being fast-tracked while the broader refugee program remains suspended, disapproval rose: 52% opposed this prioritization, 22% supported it, and 26% were unsure.
