Edit to add context.
From the article:
"President Donald Trump opened a fast-tracked refugee status to white South Africans, accusing their government of discrimination, even as his administration abruptly shut down the overall U.S. refugee program. The South Africans jumped ahead of thousands of would-be refugees overseas who had been undergoing years of vetting and processing."
I agree with that for the plasma but the whole blood donation goes to the hospitals. The organization I donated for is a local non-profit that supplies the hospitals in my area!
Unfortunately, I am American. I donated whole blood last week and received a $40 gift card, snacks and drinks! I think plasma donations pay up to $100 some places.
