The Trump admin's move to prioritize resettlement of South African refugees in the U.S. has sparked allegations of hypocrisy and questions about who is footing the bill.

Citing “race-based discrimination,” U.S. officials welcomed 59 Afrikaners—while ongoing bans continue to block displaced people from countries like Sudan and Afghanistan.

Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau told the refugees that the U.S. is the "land of the free" after they arrived at Dulles International Airport on Monday.
