Rubio says there "may be more coming soon" amid Afrikaner refugee resettlement controversy

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended a controversial new Trump administration policy granting refugee status to White South Africans days after the first group's arrival in the U.S., saying people should be "celebrating" the move, not criticizing it. 

"We've often been lectured by people all over the place about how the United States needs to continue to be a beacon for those who are oppressed abroad. Well, here's an example where we're doing that," Rubio said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Last week, 59 people from South Africa's Afrikaner community — White South Africans largely descended from Dutch settlers — arrived in the U.S., after President Trump earlier this year directed his government to allow South Africans of European descent, and Afrikaners in particular, to be resettled through the U.S. refugee program.
