Dec. 17 (UPI) -- The South African government arrested seven Kenyans working illegally in a center that processes White South African applicants for American refugee status, accusing the United States of hiring workers who don't have work authorization.
The processing center is run by RSC Africa, a Kenya-based refugee center operated by Church World Service.
There were no U.S. officials arrested, and the operation was not at a diplomatic site, the South African government said.
The United States has drastically cut its allowance of refugees into the country, from 125,000 to 7,500 per year, but said it will prioritize Afrikaners, who are mostly descendants of Dutch and French settlers.
