I think it’s fun to imagine there are only a few hundred freaks with persecution complexes and then thousands of normal people with normal reasons to move who are like ‘well this is extremely embarrassing to be associated with but this is super convenient for getting my visa’
I’ve got a friend working on this process right now. He openly admitted to me that the premise is fucked up and there are far more deserving populations that should be let in, but the simple fact is,he would be an absolute moron to pass up this opportunity for him and his family. It’s a fast track to the place he wants to be and provides better futures for his children. Why wouldn’t you take the free ticket?
Some of the people here on lemmy forget their humanity sometimes.
The fact is, that is attributed falsely to the end of apartheid by racists, South Africa is a very corrupt single party state; and getting worse since the 2008 recession. Despite the issues America is having at the moment; a lot of people still want to move there by contrast. So as was said; a large portion of the people being admitted are probably not lunatics.
That upgrades South Africa’s population by removing trash, no?
