President Trump has offered an expedited pathway to U.S. citizenship to South African farmers, calling their treatment in the country "terrible" and citing property laws that impose "unjust racial discrimination" against white Afrikaner farmers.

But the president "does not have the authority" to create a visa or citizenship rule without Congress, experts say

The president falsely claimed on social media that the South African government was confiscating farmland, echoing previous statements that the country was mistreating white people.
