More poor people caught in the crossfire of politicians
Are they even people if they don't have a net wealth over $1billion?
I get the sentiment, but worry that this is punishing people that don't have anything to do with the atrocities being committed by the US regime. Some of those 500 US citizens may be seeking asylum, like some of the rest of us are considering.
They could also be working with aid organisations, and they're almost certainly bringing money with them.
I fear this is a poorly considered retaliation.

As much as this comes amid a flurry of "screw the US" sentiment (and fair play for that), this move also included thirty other countries and has been a long-standing political issue in Namibia. It also was announced months ago and went into effect two weeks ago, and we're only hearing about it now for some reason.
This bold decision, spearheaded by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is framed as a move towards establishing reciprocity in international relations, asserting that if African citizens require visas to enter the United States, then American citizens should also be subject to the same requirements when entering Namibia. The President emphasized that this policy change is not an act of aggression but a matter of fairness and national dignity.
Smart move, especially with the recent mineral finds in the country. Hope they don't get obliterated for having the sheer audacity to not bow to imperialism.
The best way to fight America is to welcome its refugees. Let the brain drain commence. Move remote workers to other countries where they'll buy local goods and services, taking money out of the US economy. Stand up for trans people and welcome them.
Trapping Trump's victims in there with him is what he wants!
Open doors for refugees, closed doors for tourists, wealthy elites, and business.
She has a damn name: Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah
Kudos to her, great move.
Does this really belong here? It may be funny to some, but it's not intended to be.
But Canadians are still good, right?
Namibia and Botswana are decent places to be in, off the radar and politically safe and liberal
... They didn't before? Why not? It only makes sense.
