Families of 9/11 victims definitely DO NOT want Mamdani anywhere near the 25th Anniversary activities.
I hope they are successful in their petition to ban him.
The Afrikaners are exactly the type of people we want to emigrate here because they want desperately to become not only Americans, but also assimilate into being patriotic ones at that. Better yet, they're people who are interested in being part of, not separate from, our culture, and are determined to work hard to earn their way.
Seems like a no-brainer, right?
You'd think so.
But instead, the Dems flooded the US with foreigners who never intended to assimilate, despise the America we love, and are interested in gaming the system. And they do that all while working against our better interests and coordinating with anti-US interests at every turn to willfully undermine our culture, defraud our generosity (and use it against us), and thumb their noses at the rule of law.
We can do better, and these good folks are a perfect example of how it's supposed to work.
Many Americans do not understand just how different life is in South Africa.
💵 One South African rand is worth roughly six American cents.
That means:
🇿🇦 R100 = about $6
🇿🇦 R1,000 = about $60
🇿🇦 R10,000 = about $600
Those figures may look inexpensive to Americans, but South African salaries are also paid in rand. Families face limited opportunities, high unemployment, violent crime, and enormous economic uncertainty.
This is when my jaw dropped and I was gob smacked, South Africa is officially a constitutional republic, much like the kind of government America was designed to be. But Benjamin Franklin warned us clearly:
"A republic, if you can keep it."
A constitution on paper means very little if people and it's protections are no longer being applied equally.
South Africa's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) policy uses racial classifications in areas such as business ownership, management, employment, procurement, and government contracting. The government says the policy is intended to address economic inequalities created under apartheid. Many Afrikaners are now disadvantaged by them and their children because of their race.
Then there is the chant:
"Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer."
Political leader Julius Malema (the devil himself) and his supporters have publicly sung it. Many Afrikaners know these words are a direct threat against their communities, especially in light of ongoing attacks on some farmers. President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended it as part of South Africa's liberation.
Families do not walk away from generations of history, their homes, farms, businesses, churches, family graves, and everything familiar unless they believe they have little choice.
The more Americans learn about South Africa's economy, its policies, and the concerns many Afrikaner families describe, the easier it becomes to understand why some have sought the opportunity to begin again in the United States.
