    Whites are projected to be less than 50% of the population in a generation and that will make immigration issue even more challenging to solve.

    A leftist believes the white replacement theory?

      Replacement theory believes that the factual demographic shift is being done on purpose for some nefarious end and not just because of higher fertility rates in underdeveloped nations.

        Letting in so many migrants is completely on purpose. We can literally just say no to legals and kick out illegals. How is it not on purpose?

          Plenty of non-white people here that aren’t immigrants that are having children.

          “Letting in” makes it sound like the goverment has something to do with it rather than the typical paralysis and inaction. Like saying a person in a coma purposefully isn’t finding work and getting off of welfare.

            They sure moved quick to ban bump stocks after the Las Vegas shooting. They can move quick if they want to.

            Hell, Biden is signing an executive order to limit immigration, so this exact thing was totally preventable.

            And then they let them go after they get detained. Thats the “letting in” part.

              When people come in to claim asylum, yeah, that’s part of the process.

              We intentionally made it so they had to cross the border to claim asylum, take them into custody, arrest and deport them if they have criminal records, then release the others following the process for asylum.

              10,337 arrested year to date, compared to 15,267 in all of 2023, 12,028 in all of 2022, and 10,763 in 2021.

              How does that compare to the Trump years?

              2017 - 8,531
              2018 - 6,698
              2019 - 4,269
              2020 - 2,438

                No, we didnt make so they had to cross the border to claim asylum, theyre supposed to go to a port of entry.

                Illegally immigrating is a seperate action from claiming asylum, and they set it up so that committing crimes doesnt mean deportation.
