so.... similar experience as other refugees?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 11 hours ago

except these afrikanners, assumed they would get jobs, healthcare, housing,,,,etc once they touched down on us soil. Also because refugee programs are largely run by some charity organization, many refused to help them.

additionally it was a pr stunt by trump and elon, trump had no use for them other than for PR, and elons falling out with trump dint help either.
