When Thomas Hooker and his fellow Puritans established the Connecticut colony some 388 years ago in 1636, they wrote what would become the first constitutional document in the Americans in the Western tradition, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. This document vested all power in the colony’s legislature and made no reference to external powers such as the British Crown or Parliament. In this way Connecticut’s foundation marks one of the foundational moments on the path to sovereignty for the American nation and our fierce pride in our independence from any foreign power.
Today the independent spirit and constant striving for ever-better self-government that defines the American nation is in danger of dissolution and eventual disappearance as Connecticut undergoes a rapid and deeply unpopular demographic transition. Ethnic Americans are declining toward a minority share of the state’s population at a concerning pace and without policies geared toward the deliberate repatriation of the foreign-born, illegals, criminals, fraudsters, and those willing to leave the state, Connecticut will become a minority ethnic American state within a generation’s time.
Connecticut Before 1965
Before the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, the Reagan Amnesty, and the political class generally refusing to represent the demographic and immigration interests of the American people Connecticut had remained a demographically stable and super-majority White state for virtually its entire history. This does not mean that Connecticut was demographically stagnant, though. Successive waves of non-British European settlement in the 19th and early 20th centuries contributed to the character of the state, but crucially did not undermine the historic continuity of Connecticut and its original pioneer settler population.
According to available data the 1960 demographic composition of Connecticut was:
0.18% Asian
4.2% African American
0.416% Hispanic (source)
95.2% White American
Of the 2,535,234 people residing in Connecticut in 1960 a total of 2,423,816 of those residents were White Americans with the overwhelming remainder, roughly 100,000 people, being of African American extraction. Roughly 10.9% of Connecticut’s population was foreign born at this time, a rapid decline from the 1910 foreign born population that peaked near 35% of Connecticut’s overall population.
Connecticut After 1965
With the 1960s through 1980s bringing about a series of policy changes, such as the 1965 Immigration Act and the Reagan amnesty, the demographic composition of Connecticut began to change at a remarkable pace and today the defining ethnic/heritage American population of the state is at risk of being reduced to minority status in the home of their ancestors.
Connecticut’s foreign-born population would hit a century low at 8.6% in 1970 and 1980 before beginning a rapid increase. Today the foreign-born population of Connecticut stands at 591,000 people or 16.3% of the state’s population. If island-born Puerto Ricans are included in this figure the foreign-born population rises to 684,000 representing 19% of Connecticut’s population. The nature of this foreign-born population has also changed, for while Europeans made up 75% of immigrants to the state in the 1960s they comprise just 20.4% of immigrants in Connecticut as of 2022.
According to the 2020 census the demographics of Connecticut stand as:
4.7% Asian
11.4% African American
17.3% Hispanic
63.2% White American
1.1% Native American
This transformation is remarkable in its scale and distressing in its implications. Part of this concerning demographic transition is the complicity of the state’s government. The Connecticut Department of Children and Families has a web page offering support and countless state resources to immigrants, especially illegal immigrants.
The state also provides healthcare funding to illegal aliens and the state even has legislation that forbids all police forces in Connecticut from working with federal immigration officers.
Diversity also serves to skew the democratic government of Connecticut, established by Americans and for Americans, against the foundational population of the state. According to New York Times exit polling from the 2020 election some 43% of White Nutmeggers voted for Donald Trump while 55% voted for now former President Joe Biden.
This stands in sharp contrast to non-Whites residing in Connecticut who voted some 75% for Mr. Biden in 2020. These monolithic voting habits of many non-White residents of the state has led to consistent Democratic super-majorities in the state legislature, supreme court, and state government. Were Connecticut’s demographics to reflect its historic composition (roughly 95% White American and 4% African American) the right-wing opposition in the state would be much larger than it is today with more than double its current seats, furthermore the state would have competitive elections for the office of governor.
The situation looks grim, but this does not mean that there is nothing to be done. Ethnic American/White Connecticuters still represent 81% of voters in the state and could - if they were so inclined - come together to reverse the process of the Great Replacement in their home state, secure their future, and their democratic right to self-government.
Repatriation Policy Options:
Illegal Aliens:
With the Trump administration and its ‘border czar’ Tom Homan already getting to work on the mass deportations of illegal aliens now is the time for the state to change its sanctuary status and begin to help the administration remove the illegal alien population present in Connecticut.
The American Immigration Council reports that 115,000 illegal immigrants reside in Connecticut comprising 3.18% of the state’s population. A further 66,000 American citizens, including 31,000 children, live with at least one undocumented parent. In total 5% of Connecticut’s population is comprised of illegal aliens and the immediate family members of those aliens.
In total some 181,000 illegal aliens and their family members can and should be expelled from Connecticut, and expelled together in accordance with the recommendations of border czar Tom Homan. The state can also expel these aliens without the aid of the Federal government. This is possible because the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ SB4 law on the detention and deportation of illegal aliens by state authorities to enter into force.
Non-Citizens and Visa Holders:
The next group of simple (in relative terms) to deport individuals are the visa holders and non-citizen residents of the state. According to the American Immigration Council 45% of the immigrant population of Connecticut has yet to be naturalized and could therefore be asked to leave as their visas expire or Green Cards require renewal. This would represent a figure of 265,950 individuals who could be peacefully and relatively quickly removed from the state over the course of 5-10 years.
A further 211,000 residents of the state represent the US born children of the immigrant population (both naturalized and not). Many, if not most, of these children would need to depart with their parents as we do not condone a policy of unnecessary family separation.
These would be policy requests that the current Trump administration would certainly be receptive to hearing.
Citizenship Fraudsters:
There remains the 55% of immigrants in the state who have been naturalized according to current American law. Under our policy prescriptions any immigrant who attained their citizenship legitimately has a right to retain their American citizenship. Still, that right can only be ascertained as being legitimate once the government has reviewed all grants of citizenship going back to at least the year 1990.
The citizenship applications and histories of these 324,000 immigrants will need to be carefully scrutinized and investigated. The reality remains that millions of naturalized citizens in the United States have likely gained that citizenship by defrauding the American nation and lying to (admittedly careless) American institutions.
But one example can be found in the incredible fact that 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 through family related scams. A now famous 2008 report issued by the US State Department discovered, through DNA testing, that over 80% of individuals admitted into the US as a family member of a “refugee” were not related. The US government has since mandated DNA testing for refugees who request their family members come to the US, but this DNA testing mandate has not been made mandatory for other categories of immigrants seeking family reunification.
By simply requiring proof that immigrants are related through marriage and birth certificates, and yes DNA testing, it is likely that more than half of naturalized US citizens in Connecticut, and the nation as a whole, could have their citizenship revoked on the grounds of fraud. Citizenship can also be revoked on the grounds of felonies committed before a person becomes naturalized.
Giving immigrants the benefit of the doubt and assuming a fraud rate of just 50% (it is likely closer to the 80% found by the State Department) the process of reviewing grants of citizenship would still result 165,200 naturalized immigrants in Connecticut losing their US citizenship and being removed from the state and the nation. They would also be required to take their underage children and any spouses with them.
When All Is Said and Done:
The policies outlined above could result in as many as 823,000 recent immigrants and their descendants could be removed from Connecticut and returned to their ancestral homelands. This repatriation would increase the ethnic American/White share of Connecticut’s population to 80% and represent a 17-point jump from current numbers and would undo 35 years of the Great Replacement in Connecticut.
The African American share of the state’s population would grow slightly from 10% to 11.4% of the state’s populace. The remaining 9% of the state’s population would be overwhelmingly composed of Puerto Ricans who are a 288,000 strong community in Connecticut.
White Papers has long recommended that the United States amicably cut ties with Puerto Rico, denaturalize stateside Puerto Ricans, and return them to their island home in the Caribbean. Puerto Rican laws grant Puerto Rican “citizenship” (defined within the bounds of their US nationality) to any Puerto Rican resident of the island, born on the Island, or born to Puerto Ricans from the island. It would be reasonable, therefore, for the American government to denaturalize most if not all stateside Puerto Ricans and make provision to return them to a sovereign Puerto Rico.
Connecticut can be returned to the super-majority American status that it held for the vast majority of its history until demographic change took off in 1980 and beyond.

I had lunch in a major city a while back. It was staggering to see. Almost no white people milling about and many looked from the wilds of who knows where.
I suspect that the ESPN employees, hedge fund managers, and Imperial courtiers who live high in that state will take it the way of Rome. Totally submerged and lost to their descendants, except with there being no European tribes to sweep in from the North and reinvigorate it.
I pray I am wrong. The American striver class doesn't care about this issue. In fact, to maintain status, they likely actively and ardently support ethnic replacement in public lest love of their ancestors and children get them shunned as promoting hate.
I live in this overpriced state so I am not very hopeful. I remember working with an illegal Mexican here over twenty years ago, Connecticut eventually made him legal to live here and there are plenty of others like that. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
