The Great Replacement in Arizona
The Copper state begins to corrode
Arizona and most of its Southwestern neighbors are an artifact of conquest. The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, signed at the end of the Mexican-American war, delivered most of Arizona into American hands in 1847.
13 years after the American acquisition of Arizona the territory had barely 6,400 residents and the majority of these locals (some 4,000) were of indigenous origin. Today the state could not look more different, however. Whites risk becoming a minority in the civilization they built out of the sand.
The American nation, a White nation, built Arizona from nothing but sprawling desert and forested mountains into a verdant land of plenty. Canals brought water into the dry heartland, creating a robust agricultural economy. Americans brought modern technology and began pulling copper out of the Earth, and turned the region’s extensive natural beauty into a series of national and state parks which have driven a booming tourism economy.
The Current Situation:
The aforementioned economic and technological developments caused the state’s population to swell and in the century between 1860 and 1960 the population of Arizona grew from the modest 6,400 to some 1.3 million people, the vast bulk of whom were White.
In 1960 the population of Arizona was 75% White, a share which had been steadily increasing over the course of the 20th century.
In 1920 some 26% of the Arizonan population was Hispanic, but the continued inflow of White pioneers soon far outgrew the small contingent of mostly Mexican immigrants resident in the state. By 1960 the Hispanic population’s share of the state’s demographics had nearly halved to 14.9% and all indications were that this share would continue to decrease as yet more modern, White, technologies such as air conditioning and more efficient construction made it possible for yet more people to settle in Arizona’s greening landscape.
This did not happen, of course. The triple combination of the 1965 Immigration Act, the 1986 IRCA (Reagan Amnesty), and uncontrolled mass immigration would see Arizona’s demographic development begin to reverse.
The 2020 census shows that just 53.4% of the population of Arizona today is White, while the Hispanic population has grown rapidly to 30.7%.
The Asian population, which was less than 0.5% in 1960, has grown rapidly and constitutes nearly 4% of the current population and is projected to continue to grow thanks to current immigration law. Large numbers of subcontinental Indians are relocating to Arizona and the family reunification system is likely to see this population increase by multiples in the coming decade.
Still, Arizona’s policymakers responded better than most in the early stages of the Great Replacement. Arizona is one of only two Southwestern states that passed E-Verify laws to prevent illegal immigrants from working and settling in the state. This measure ensured that while California experienced a demographic tidal wave that reduced its White population from 92% White in 1960 to just 57% White in 1900 the same fate did not befall Arizona.
In fact, between 1960 and 1990 the White share of the population of Arizona contracted only slightly from 75% to 71.7%. E-Verify worked wonderfully and prevented the large settlement of illegal aliens, but it did not last.
As U.S. citizen Hispanics began to settle in the state the number of illegals increased as well. Today some 275,000 illegal aliens reside in the state, roughly 92% of whom are non-White.
Some 94,000 of these illegals reside with a US citizen child while another 53,000 live in the state with a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant spouse. Arizonan policymakers were unable to close all avenues of illegal immigration due to constitutionality, and so the White population has entered decline.
Policy Options:
This immigration and demographic reality does not mean that Arizona is without choices, however. The state and federal government could take a range of actions to reverse the demographic decline of the White pioneer population which created the State of Arizona and ensure White majority status for the foreseeable future.
Deporting illegals and their enablers:
The first step is to enforce the deportation of illegal aliens, their non-citizen spouses, and their children. Were the state, or federal, authorities to implement such a policy more than 484,000 people could be removed from the state and deported back to their homelands.
The state should also explore taking naturalized citizens married to illegal aliens to Federal court in order to have their citizenship revoked. This could be hundreds of thousands of non-Whites who have been naturalized in Arizona but are married to or abetting the residence of an illegal alien in Arizona.
Visa cancellation:
Were the federal government to enact a widespread cancellation of visas, or even if the state government were to refer visa and Green Card holders to courts and the Department of Homeland Security for review, it would go a long way to reversing the demographic tide in the state.
Roughly 55% of Arizona’s immigrants are not naturalized U.S. citizens and removing them is as simple as canceling or refusing to renew their visas and green cards.
This would see another 254,000 people, the overwhelming majority of whom are non-White, leave the state as their visas were steadily revoked over the course of some years.
Reviewing Family Reunification:
An additional policy option would be for the state to investigate cases of suspected immigration and naturalization fraud, both of which are widespread.
Some 70% of immigrants in the United States are admitted based on family ties, not for work or school.
This means that a large portion of people who have acquired US citizenship are likely to have done so fraudulently. The proof for this is best demonstrated by a 2008 investigation wherein the U.S. State Department discovered, through DNA testing, that over 80% of individuals admitted into the U.S. as family members of a “refugee” were not related to that individual.
The U.S. government has since mandated DNA testing for refugees who request their family members come to the U.S.
However, this DNA testing mandate has not been put in place for any other category of family reunification.
Simply by requiring proof that immigrants are related through marriage and birth certificates, and DNA testing, it is likely that a substantial portion of naturalized citizens in Arizona, and in the U.S. as a whole, could have their citizenship revoked on the grounds of fraud.
Presuming that the fraud rate is only half of what it was in the famous refugee case, a rate of 40%, would denaturalize some 172,000 additional immigrants in Arizona. Up to an additional 359,000 children of immigrants could also be expected to depart with their denaturalized parents.
Conclusion:
These policy measures would bring the total number of deportations and repatriations from the state to some 1.015 million.
This demographic correction would see the White population of Arizona, the population that created the state, increase from 53% today to some 62.2% of the overall population. This would be a remarkable improvement, but there would still be some way to go in order to fully correct course.
Policies of voluntary repatriation could see the White population of Arizona returned to a much stronger majority status of around 85%, and secure the state’s future for its founding White population.
