DHS and the Great Replacement

A look into the spending that is facilitating demographic replacement

Most Americans are aware of the typical modes of spending on the country’s burgeoning ‘diverse’ population. The US government, state governments, and local governments fund trillions of dollars’ worth of food stamps, housing assistance, direct cash payments, race-based programs for healthcare and now wealth redistribution, among other priorities. These spending priorities keep the ‘diverse’ population out of the abject poverty which is common in much of the world and ensures that their minority political priorities remain at the top of every agenda in the country.

Still, this is not all of the spending which the American state undertakes on behalf of recent immigrants and their descendants. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent by other departments of the Federal government, namely DHS, which facilitate the entry, legalization, and naturalization of non-Western immigrants into the United States. This is spending we are going to shine a small light on in this piece.

For the 2024 fiscal year the Biden administration has requested a DHS budget of some $103.2 billion, much of which is going to be spent on minority groups and particularly recent immigrants. The most obvious starting point in examining this spending would be the agencies which are explicitly charged with protecting America’s borders: Immigrants and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CPB - which includes the Border Patrol). Between taking office in 2021 and 2024 the Biden administration has increased the DHS budget by more than $7 billion, and Americans have only become less safe.

The combined budget of ICE and CBP will total some $27.8 billion, much of which will be spent facilitating the entry of illegal aliens and “parolees” into the United States. The best example of this is the immigrant detention program. DHS will hold an immigrant for an average of 55 days, according to the American Immigration Council, and at a cost of some $9,994 to the American taxpayer. During any given month for fiscal year 2023 both ICE and CBP can be expected to hold some 30,000 people between the two agencies. The agents which are supposed to be protecting America’s borders busy themselves with migrants: housing them, feeding them, and catering to their medical needs.

These numbers mean that the American state will spend at least $3.6 billion on detaining migrants. Most of these migrants will then be released into the United States with a full belly, a clean bill of health, and a plane ticket courtesy of FEMA.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, plays a crucial role in the relocation and housing of migrants after they are released into the United States. In 2024 FEMA will have a budget of more than $800 million for its Shelter and Services Program (SSP). The SSP grants money to non-profit entities in American communities so they can pay for the transportation and housing of immigrants who have arrived to the United States irregularly.

While the bulk of this spending takes place in border states, such as Arizona or Texas, hundreds of millions are also spent to relocate and house these recent migrants in states such as New York, Maine, Illinois, Minnesota and a handful of other states. “FEMA in your community” would appear to mean that recent immigrants will soon be arriving courtesy of a private-public partnership funded by the Federal government.

Many of those who have their entry facilitated into the United States will then reside in the country for some years before eventually being naturalized, but irregular migrants are far from the only category of immigrants that the US government is importing en masse.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the agency responsible for admitting migrants to the country and processing citizenship applications. With a budget of more than $6.5 billion, an increase of $1 billion since 2022, the USCIS is explicitly speeding up its naturalization of immigrants in the United States and making them the fellow citizens of the founding American population.

The most common nations of origin for newly naturalized citizens (we dare not call them Americans) in 2022 were: Mexico, India, the Philippines, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. A 2021 DHS report goes further, revealing that of the top 20 countries for newly naturalized citizens only two, the UK and Canada, are Western countries. The report also includes a retrospective graph of naturalizations across the decades. In 1966 Europeans accounted for 60.6% of all persons who became American citizens, by 2006 the percentage of Europeans being naturalized had fallen to just 14.4%, and since 2016 Europeans have accounted for just under 10% of naturalizations annually.

On top of these declining European figures, the report also exposes a common lie about the US immigration system, that being the refrain that America is receiving the “best and the brightest” immigrants in the world. Only 13.2% of people naturalized in 2022 came to the United States through an employment program, while some 36.3% were admitted as relatives of current US citizens. This means that a full 50.5% of people who are becoming American citizens were admitted to the country only on the basis of a familial tie to an extant immigrant.

We are confident in declaring that the $6.5 billion being used to facilitate the naturalization process can be classified, in its entirety, as a form of anti-White spending which is facilitating the Great Replacement.

Finally, it is worth acknowledging that after the Department of Homeland Security has done its job in importing, feeding, treating and releasing immigrants into the country the process then passes to the Department of Justice.

The Biden administration has requested some $1.5 billion for the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), more popularly known as the immigration court system. According to the most recent data, roughly 47% of all asylum requests are granted by the EOIR judicial system. A further 10% of those who file appeals, several tens of thousands of people each year, then have those appeals granted.

Policy Alternatives

It is worth briefly mentioning that the cost of deport a single migrant, roughly $10,854 is virtually identical to the $9,994 it costs to keep said migrant in detention for the average of 55 days before his eventual release into the American homeland.

If the series of programs outlined above were reshaped to, in virtually all cases, prioritize the deportation and repatriation of individuals the US could deport hundreds of thousands of people a year and begin to turn the tide on immigration being a mechanism for the demographic replacement of Americans in the United States.

The USCIS budget could be used to prioritize the cancellation of green cards, visas and other residency permits, and more importantly be utilized to investigate the massive rates of naturalization fraud which take place. Millions of criminals could see their citizenship revoked and be removed from the country.

Policies are indications of priorities, and Americans must demand that their priorities come before those of others.
