Directs the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to treat certain residents of South Africa (and certain qualifying family members) as Priority 2 refugees of special humanitarian concern and to permit them to seek refugee admission to the United States. It authorizes where processing can occur, bars denial based solely on certain immigration statuses or politically motivated actions, exempts these admissions from numerical visa limits, requires regular public reports to designated congressional committees, and confirms admission will meet existing refugee law requirements.
