	<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Trump </strong>has reduced the number of <strong>refugees </strong>accepted from 125,000 to only 7,500 which is the lowest in history. Of those 7,500, they are giving preference to <strong>white South Africans</strong> who claim they are being <strong>persecuted </strong>by having a majority Black nation. That claim doesn't hold water. Does anyone remember the <strong>apartheid </strong>in <strong>South Africa</strong> where whites controlled the country despite being a minority? The <strong>apartheid </strong>lasted for 46 years, and only ended when they held <strong>democratic elections</strong> in 1994 and <strong>Nelson Mandela</strong> became president.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Through their actions and their speeches, it's clear that <strong>Trump</strong>, <strong>Marco Rubio</strong>, and <strong>Stephen Miller</strong> only want rich white people to enter the country. <strong>Trump </strong>created his $1,000,000 "</span><i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">golden visa</span></i><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">" so anyone with the money can bypass the system. They've increased the fees significantly for all of the immigration filing fees and there's a huge backlog of cases. It can take years for even a spouse to get a visa and over a decade for other family members. <strong>Trump </strong>created a $1,000 fee for <strong>refugees</strong>, but thankfully it looks like a federal judge is about to overturn that. They have been threatening the <strong>sponsors </strong>of immigrants with lawsuits and fines for any immigrant that uses public assistance. They've started charging $100,000 fees for <strong>H1-B worker visas </strong>which is used by a lot of rural hospitals to recruit physicians. Their entire immigration agenda is racist and despicable. <strong>Immigrants </strong>are the fabric of our communities and they are badly needed. We have to fight back against these changes!</span></p><p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Reporting from <strong>BBC </strong>on the changes for <strong>refugees</strong>: </span><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy40jj71243o"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy40jj71243o</span></a></p>]]></description>
