YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew U.S. refugee policy sets admissions at just 7,500—the lowest cap in American history—while prioritizing applications from white Afrikaners in South Africa. Dr. Allan Lichtman breaks down what this shift means for humanitarian intake, why advocates say it “lowers our moral standing,” and how it contrasts with prior targets (15,000 in Trump’s first term vs. ~100,000 under Biden). We also cover the broader pattern: cuts to global health aid, efforts to roll back Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and the narrative framing around who is “deserving” of refuge.
