The Great Repatriation and Asians - (2/4)

Repatriation is the Most Reasonable Way to Solve the Demographic Crisis

(Find Part One Here)

At White-Papers, our core premise is that Western peoples deserve their own voice, their own political institutions and a future free from interference or predation by outside groups. Westerners are a global minority and are now becoming minorities in their own homelands. The inevitable and necessary result of this is a growing political movement of explicitly nationalist news outlets, publishers, and political pressure groups.

Unfortunately, however, it is not uncommon to hear the language of hopelessness or despair about the demographic situation in many Western nations. Nationalists, more than anyone, know the data. They look at the graphs, charts and trends, and understand what will be lost if current trends continue. But, this awareness often leads to nationalists feeling that nothing can ever be done, even if nationalist policymakers were to be installed in the highest ranks of the State apparatus.

White-Papers knows something CAN be done. Something MUST be done.

Repatriation, the return of recent immigrants to their respective homelands or perhaps third-party states, is central to the survival of our nations. Most importantly, though, it is a practical policy which we must enact.

We are not heartless. Westerners, even to our detriment, are some of the most welcoming and hospitable peoples on Earth. Repatriation must, therefore, happen in a dignified manner which respects the dignity of those being asked and incentivized to leave our Nations. Repatriation is not inhumane or disparaging of other races. It is simply meant to reestablish self-respect and security in our own countries.

A quick note as regards racial and ethnic terminology for this series: We realize that some terms are contentious, however for the sake of simplicity and directness, we will be sticking with the Census Bureau terminology for these pieces.

And so, in this second piece of our series, we will examine the largest group of legally admitted recent immigrants in the United States, the group that is largely responsible for undermining both America’s middle class and the demographic character of many American cities: Asians.

Asians have, much like Hispanics, changed the face of the American nation in the post-1965 immigration act era. Their migration has resulted in the transformation of entire geographic regions, business sectors, and even whole states beyond recognition. Since the year 2009, more Asian immigrants have arrived, through legal channels, to the United States than Hispanic immigrants have, and this trend in legal immigration is only growing more severe over time. This demographic switch in the origin of immigrants means that by the year 2055 Asians will be the largest immigrant group in the United States, making up nearly 40% of all immigrants by 2065.

This rapid intake of a diverse set of Asians will take their already large population, numbering 22 million in the 2020 census, and more than double it to 46 million by the year 2060, assuming immigration numbers remain in line with the above projections. This increase has a historic precedent, as the Asian population rose by 88% between the years 2000 and 2022, rising from 11.9 million people to 22.4 million respectively. This demographic transformation is no less serious than that being brought upon Americans by the rapid increase of the Hispanic population and is in some ways significantly more damaging to the middle class.

Solutions abound to rectify this situation, however. Much like Hispanics in the United States, the Asian population is overwhelmingly composed of recent immigrants, many of whom do not have US citizenship.

Additionally, they may retain citizenship in their home country, or remain eligible to regain that citizenship with some ease.

Of the 22.4 million Asians who live in the United States, roughly 13 million were born abroad and 36% of that population, some 4.7 million people, do not yet have US citizenship.

White-Papers, as expressed in our earlier piece, also does not believe in a policy of child separation. Roughly 34% of Asians in the United States, some 7.6 million people, are the American-citizen children of foreign-born Asian immigrants, and roughly 4 million of these individuals are under the age of 18. These children belong with their parents and so would be repatriated to their ethnic homelands alongside their non-citizen parents.

The final group would be illegal immigrant Asians, 2 million of whom are estimated to live in the United States as of 2022.

Through the simple act of canceling visas and insisting that families not be broken up due to immigration status as they are repatriated, a nationalist American administration could reduce the Asian population in the country by a staggering 47.7% in a remarkably short timeframe. These policy actions would lower the Asian population in the United States to a level below that of the year 2000 and effectively roll back more than two decades of largely immigrant-driven Asian population growth.

This does, of course, leave open other serious questions. Many Asians are married to Americans or have children who are American citizens of single or mixed-race heritage. In fact, roughly 14% of all Asian Americans are multiracial. This does not, however, preclude the Asian (or part Asian) citizen children and spouses from relocating to other countries, if they would so prefer.

For example, any ethnic Korean, regardless of citizenship status in another state, is able to apply for the F-4 visa for Koreans of foreign nationality in the Republic of South Korea. This would enable any American citizen Korean who cannot acquire Korean nationality to relocate to South Korea with extreme ease. Japan has a similar scheme in the form of the long-term resident and child/spouse of a Japanese national visas, which would enable ethnic Japanese of foreign nationality, even spouses of foreign-born Asians, to relocate to Japan with minimal effort.

There is a great deal of evidence to back up this assumption that many American-born Asians would want to relocate to their ethnic homelands. Some 51% of Asians in the United States claim that they are primarily friends with people of their own race, including among young people in high school where 62% of Asian youths report friendships only with other Asians. 20% of Asians report that they have hidden aspects of their racial or ethnic identity to attempt and fit in, and perhaps most illuminating of all only 45% of Asian adults in the United States report that they in any way consider themselves to be Americans.

It is therefore not unreasonable to expect that many Asian citizens of the United States would welcome the opportunity to relocate to their ethnic homelands, and the United States government should set out not only to cancel the visas of immigrants but to assist any Asian citizen of the United States who wishes to return to their ethnic homeland.
