How can the farmers - or people like my husband and sons-in-law migrate without refugee status and all the help that goes with it?? We are not,as far as i can see,accepted for refugee status ANYWHERE - even if we are the most threatened demographic on the planet these days

We have a new president here in usa just dying to flex his muscles and this situation fits the bill.
How about one of his lackeys run it up the flagpole and see.

White South African farmers will be removed from their land after a landslide vote in parliament.
The country's constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema.
'We are not calling for the slaughter of white people - at least for now': South African parliament votes to SEIZE white-owned land as experts warn of violent repercussions

More than 10,500 people have signed a petition asking President Donald Trump to let white people in South Africa emigrate to the U.S. after the country voted to strip white farmers of their land without compensation.
The petition calls on the U.S. leader to "take the steps necessary to initiate an emergency immigration plan allowing white Boers to come to the United States." Boer is the term used to describe South Africans of Dutch, German or Huguenot descent, who are also commonly referred to as Afrikaners.

Having you applied to the US for immigration?
With enough pressure Trump might be able to include South Africans as legitimate refugees (which I believe you are)
Since the SA congress just made running people off their land the law it just might happen.
I have several SA friends who all agree on the political climate there which is why I am so concerned personally. Even former liberals want out.
