    The Great Replacement

    This "theory" is being passed around in the media, and the GOP is being blamed for racism based on trying to stop the Great Replacement, which is just an increase in the population of what we now view as minority races and a decrease in white population by percentage.

    There is no deep dark agenda that wants whites to suffer by becoming a minority. There is an agenda to greatly increase the working force in this nation to be able to pay for the social programs we have that are top-heavy.

    But, most of all. A reduction in whites and an increase in minorities doesn't spell doomsday for anyone.

    Cultures shift and societies rise and fall. No one's trying to get rid of the white race.

    Don't buy into hateful bull$#@! that divides us. Ignore it.

    We do need strong immigration laws but not to keep Mexicans out--rather to ensure that immigrants all get a fair shake.

    The "great replacement theory" is not a GOP thing. It is a fringe thing. Fringe people on the left and right believe it but of course they come from different view points.

    I am with you, up until that last sentence.

    Until the time that we enforce current immigration laws regardless of the nationality violating the laws, it's a virtual open door. Overstay's actually outnumber those coming through our Southern border. The difference is usually the employability of the individual that causes the blind eye to most overstay's.

    I agree. I'm just saying the point of strong immigration laws isn't specifically to keep Mexicans out--it's to ensure that we have fair laws that treat everyone the same. Right now, we have restrictions on immigrants from Europe, and those immigrants abide by the rules because they have to--we don't share an easy-access border.

    The democrats have gotten themselves locked into a negative immigration policy by trying to oppose everything Trump stood for.

    In the late 1800s we had a law restricting immigration to those who were most likely to come here and make a good life for themselves. There's no reason we can't still have restrictions like that.

    I might point out that even under the quack science that came up with the notion of races, that white isn't a race. White is associated with Caucasian, but not all Caucasians are white and that the level of albinism associated with 'white' people is actually found in all so-called races. In fact, the term "white race" not all that long ago, excluded all of the people from the Mediterranean and even people from Eastern Europe as well as Irish people, applying almost exclusively to northwestern European ethnicities who also happen to be the people least inclined to reproduce enough to replace themselves.

    Ironically, the trend for lower birthrate began with Protestantism which, generally speaking, didn't encourage having large families as opposed to Catholicism where people were encouraged to "be fruitful and multiply". Had America restricted immigration to 'white Protestants', its current population would be significantly lower. The negative attitude toward large families ultimately spread to the Catholic whites as well, so the seeds of depopulation have in fact become cultural. No one is trying to replace 'white people', they are simply failing to even maintain their own population. If long-term population decline is to be avoided, then bringing in more Europeans who also suffer from a disinclination to reproduce, is not going to solve the problem.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    GRT originates with Camus's 2011 Le Grand Remplacement.

    In Europe it's associated with Muslim immigration. Here, with Hispanic immigration.

    It is not concerned with black immigration.

    I agree in regards to treating all immigrants the same.

    The issue I brought up, overstays, are not necessarily here initially as 'immigrants'. They come on visitation/holiday, some on J-1s, some on H2-B visas, for starters. And then they decide to stay.

    Do we want to curtail foreign tourism? Student exchange programs? I would think not, but they are one of the sources of 'illegal immigration'.

    Like it or not both components of replacement theory are true. First, Democrats changed immigration laws to de-emphasize white Europeans while greatly increasing the numbers of black, brown, and yellow people from authoritarian, third world countries. Since then the ratio of white to nonwhites has steadily shifted toward the nonwhites. I believe Democrats thought the third worlders were far more likely to vote for them than the middle class whites were.

    Also important was the downward pressure on wages the massive numbers of less skilled workers would cause as they competed with American citizens for jobs.

    Flooding the country with immigrants is a terrible idea and it does not matter what color or where they come from.

    A guest worker program gives us everything we need. Flat tax them at a rated that provides them with Medicaid and covers their social costs. Then have an expiration date at which time they have to reapply or leave. They would also be natural picks for citizenship after they prove they can provide for themselves and learn our language.
