[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP with some updated information on the new whites-only refugee policy. The NYT recently published a report that provides insight into the thinking of the administration as it reportedly considers a major overhaul of the country's refugee system. The documents they obtained suggest that [b]"the changes would give preference to specific groups, including English speakers, white South Africans, and Europeans who oppose migration[/b]." The article is behind a paywall but the link below summarizes it. If someone has an NYT subscription and can gift access to the article, I'd really appreciate it.

[b]Donald Trump's Refugee Overhaul To Favour Whites[/b]

Some of the highlights in the linked article:

*The proposed changes to the US refugee programme would focus on [b]how well applicants can fit into American society[/b]. Refugees might also be asked to take classes on US history, values, and cultural norms.

*It also [b]recommends giving priority to Europeans who have been "targeted for peaceful expression of views online[/b]."

*"The sharp increase in diversity has reduced the level of social trust essential for the functioning of a democratic polity. [b]The administration should only welcome refugees who can be fully and appropriately assimilated and are aligned with the president's objectives[/b]," according to one of the documents.
