President Donald Trump has only been enthusiastic about allowing one specific group of foreigners into the United States: White South Africans. But even as Trump claims Afrikaners are a persecuted minority fleeing oppression and violence, many currently living in America are deciding to go back " because America is too expensive for them.

According to Reuters, Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber said 1,000 people had reclaimed their citizenship, a number he expected to grow significantly as the programme takes off.

Many of those who are returning, per the report, cite "better quality of life" and "lower cost of living," while others cite crime in America as a problem.

"People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed. I don't want to live in a place like this."

Non-racist Afrikaaners are a jovial, hard-working and hard-drinking bunch.

These plonkas going back-- "Boers" -- couldn't handle black majority rule, but then couldn't stomach America's declining economy and the imminent effects of the BBB.

Besides having difficulty finding gainful employment in the US, medical care is much cheaper in Suid-Afrika than in the US.

One AI Snapshot:

"Private healthcare costs in South Africa are significantly lower than in the US but still expensive relative to average income. For example, a private hospital consultation may cost between $30 to $100, and surgeries or procedures are generally a fraction of US prices.

Health insurance (medical aid) premiums in South Africa vary but are much lower than in the US, often ranging from $50 to a few hundred dollars monthly depending on coverage."

-One such person is Andrew Veitch, who moved to California in 2003 " long before Trump's refugee policy began " after he was robbed at gunpoint in his home country. Now, however, he thinks crime is worse here: "People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed. I don't want to live in a place like this."

My clients hire lots of South Africans. They receive wages and a place to live.

But I'm not in California. No wonder they think the cost of living is prohibitive.

It had already topped $5 a gallon before the Iranian action.

I am seeing $8, to $9 dollars now.

CA went from 40 refineries to 2-3, now we have 10-12 oil tankers with refined fuel sitting in the SF Bay.

All the while Iran has threatened CA with a Drone attack. CA State government has created a national security risk.
