    Excellent, hope you enjoyed your stay. Please write.

    Your ICE concierge will arrange your flight to Venezuela…

    My favorite source for all things South Africa – Latin times. They quote one random guy, and then also mention that a lot of the reasoning behind returning to SA has to do with cost of living, not security. They also fail to state how many are leaving SA in favor of the US vs. the contrary.

    This is agenda pushing at its finest.

    As always, you should read the article because the headline is straight lying to you. 

    A guy who moved here in 2003 says he wants to move back.

    And most outraged responses in this post are AI engagement farmers.

    If they’d just give us another year or so, we’ll have apartheid working here and they’ll feel right at home.

    They was already complaining because they felt they weren’t getting enough money a month.

    But I thought they were all being white genocided by being forced to treat dark skinned people with respect

    When you realize you’re only rich in South Africa, but not self aware enough to understand why

    I think the US is a hellscape right now and agree with the spirit of the sentiment here.

    That said, how many are “some”? 2?

    Healthcare is largely free in South Africa for citizens, residents, and many non-citizens. They got a real surprise in America!

    One point is that you’re more likely to be raped or die of gun death in US than in South Africa, and that South Africa has universal healthcare.

    So I’m not surprised the article mentions they feel that South Africa is safer and has more affordable health insurance.

    These are South Africans who legally immigrated to various countries but have decided to return over many years abroad.

    It’s a trend which has been happening for a while.

    The so-called “refugees” who Trump had shipped in as political props are unable to return even if they don’t like it in the US because of various reasons,since the South African government has basically closed the door after they left since they gave up certain rights after entering the US asylum programme.

    The only way for them to return to South Africa is via the UN Refugee Agency on a special refugee travel document since they are now refugees not South African citizens who can return the usual way.

    But that isn’t easy and will take lots of paperwork.

    So,it’s either picking fruit on farms for them or working three jobs to make ends meet because of the high cost of living in the US.

    Especially jarring since many gave up a comfortable lifestyle in South Africa with a 4 bedroom house and a swimming pool for a free plane ride to the US on a Trump promise that he would take care of them.

    I want to move too. I can’t deal with a president who doesn’t know what’s going on.

    I’m more likely to believe they were hoping trumpism would have been more popular. SA is chock full of white supremacists, and these are the ones coming in from the free pass Trump gave them. Something tells me that wasn’t accidental.
