Congressional candidate Joe Kent took to Twitter last summer to repeat a racist theme that has become commonplace in the country’s immigration debate and upcoming elections.

“The left is supporting an invasion of illegal immigrants to replace American voters and undercut working class jobs,” Kent wrote.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...002/?gnt-cfr=1

What part of the truth is racist? Illegal aliens are flooding our border and undercutting working Americans and Biden and the Democrats are doing nothing to stop it by doing away with Trump's immigration policies, stopping the building of the wall, protecting illegal aliens and giving them DL's, healthcare etc. and promising them amnesty and citizenship. Someone please tell me what is racist about the replacement theory of allowiing millions of illegal aliens into our country and what isn't the truth about it? Illegal alien isn't a race either it's an unlawful presence in our country.

The left has no real solutions. They just scream racism when confronted with anything. It's just tired as hell and people are starting to tune out.

The truth is the greatest enemy of tyrants, which is why they tried unleashing the ministry of truth on us. The great replacement theory is not a republican thing though. Leftists have been pushing it for years by explaining the demographic changes that they expect to see. It only became controversial when republicans started talking about it.

Tucker a while back played a clip of about 5 or 6 prominent dems talking about how the demographics are changing. They have been playing the long game while the repugs have been playing with themselves.

and now, by your thread title (since obviously many on both sides don't read beyond headlines), you've promulgated the whacky notion.

My ancestors were looked down upon in America because they were Irish. But the Irish became white and fit in fine over 150 years later. Maybe the Hispanics will become the new white. America has a long history of being concerned about immigrants coming in.

I'd be more worried and robots taking over many of the working-class jobs. For now, only a fraction of the people are needed now to work in auto and steel plants when compared to 50 years ago.

Automation is a real concern, not to derail the thread.

Democrats have been celebrating the changing demographics of America for some time now.

Doing pretty much everything they can get away with to accelerate it, by legal or illegal means.

Then when someone actually calls them on what they're doing, they claim it's just a racist conspiracy theory.

Part and parcel of Liberal 101.

There is nothing racist about it BUT the Democrats see racism in everything. The Border is being overrun by mostly brown and black people from all over the world, that is a fact and it certainly is not racist to point this out.



The Illegal Aliens are under cutting jobs and business.

I used to live and work on an island off Massachusetts that is the playground of the rich, a struggle for the average citizen and home to many Illegal Aliens that are mostly from Brazil. I knew a guy that was making a good living as a finish carpenter but then the illegal aliens under cut his jobs. He was eventually forced off the island because he could no longer afford to live there. He took his family, moved to Maine and hung himself.

I knew another guy that was a Legal Immigrant from Brazil. He worked hard at his painting business, bought a house and he even became a US citizen. He was so proud of that but the Illegals under cut so many of his jobs that he lost the house and was forced to move back to Brazil.

My wife and I were burned by an Illegal Alien. We had a rental unit with a finished apartment in the walk out basement. The upstairs tenant begged us to let his "cousin" and wife stay there for a few months. We reluctantly agreed to it, agreed to the rent and a few months turned into several and then the rent money stopped right about the time the chickens moved in and his pet bird got into the heating system and pulled out wires. Oh well. He finally moved out and the last I heard he was caught up in some human trafficking scheme down in Miami.



I knew of plenty of small business's that the Brazilian community ran out of their rented houses from hair and nail saloons, image the abuse on the septic system with that, to day cares. All were unlicensed, uninsured but try doing that Legally. The state would deny you the license, the town would deny you the permits and the landlord would deny his property being used like that, and the list goes on and on, but do it Illegally and under the table....



Not all Illegal Immigrants are bad people. I think most of them just want a chance to work hard and make money but why should we take the chance on the ones that are criminals and the ones that take advantage of our Gullible Generosity? There is nothing Racist about that.

It's called great replacement "theory". Theories are not facts. They can be as wacky and wild as the people pushing them want them to be. But the demographic changes predicted by those who push the theory have already taken place. Whites probably will be the minority in the next decade or two, barring any unforeseen changes like a baby boom or massive immigration of white Europeans to the USA (dream on, Europe has a higher standard of living according to many).


Most white Americans are having 1 or 2 children, if any at all. That number will not rise so long as the economy remains puny and people cannot afford to have more children. Naturally, immigrants will replace them. Yes, this is a theory, but the most likely outcome unless something totally wacky and out of the ordinary changes all that and whites start spitting out 4-6 children to a couple. Remember, we have a lot of couples nowadays that will never reproduce because biology doesn't allow it. So the rest will have to pick up the slack, or population numbers will decline.


None of this is racist or wrong to bring light to. It's simply reality as it's always been.
