    ‘I Don’t Want to Live in a Place Like This’

    According to trump these people are persecuted and discriminated against at levels requiring asylum.

    Under the administration’s own narrative they would rather be discriminated against and perscuted than live in trump’s USA.

    Let that sink in…either it is so bad here they would rather go back to the country they fled because it was so bad they had to flee or every single thing this administration says is complete and utter bullshit.

    Neither of those options are good. Fucking shower of bastards.

Naomi Saphire, who lived in the United States for two decades, moved back to South Africa’s Western Cape last year. “My heart is just full of gratefulness to be here,” she said, adding that her children spend more time outdoors and that health insurance is more affordable, according to Reuters.
