The Great Replacement in Ohio

The Heart of It All is Struggling

By Alex C

No state, save for Virginia, has given the United States as many presidents as the State of Ohio. Seven holders of America’s highest office were born in Ohio, ranging from the war hero Ulysses S. Grant to the largely forgotten James A. Garfield.

Much like the rest of the region Ohio is a child of the Industrial Revolution and now a major component of the Rust Belt.

Ohio is the birthplace of American and global aviation and is a cultural hub that has provided the country with seemingly endless artists, entertainers, culinary experiences, and industrial products. In short, Ohio is a cross section of this great country.

Ohio is also becoming poorer, less culturally cohesive, more culturally alien, and all because it is being transformed beyond all recognition through forced and state-sponsored demographic change. For nearly its entire history Ohio was the third populous state in the Union, though this has all changed since the 1960s. Today, Ohio is the 7th most populous state in the nation, boasting a population of 11.7 million people, making it the 2nd most populous state in the Great Lakes region, with Illinois holding first place.

Not only has Ohio suffered some degree of population stagnation, as foundational Americans (White and Black) have moved away in the wake of deindustrialization, but the state is also being repopulated by immigrant populations that the state and federal government have been deliberately importing.

Pre-1965:

At the time of the 1940 census Ohio boasted a population of some 6.9 million people, 95% of whom were White Americans. By the 1970s, or five years after the 1965 Immigration Act came into affect, the state had surged to a population in excess of 10.6 million with the White share comprising 89.8% of the overall population with a significant African American minority comprising the remainder of the population.

Certainly, Ohio’s population has always been somewhat dynamic. Like Illinois and Michigan, the Great Migration of African Americans was the first wave of demographic change washed over Ohio. Cities such as Cleveland went from 90.2% White in 1940 to 59% White by 1970. By the 1990s Cleveland was a minority White city and as of the 2020 census, the White share of the population sits at just 32%. Cleveland’s population has shrunk along with this change. In 2020 the city’s population was 372,000, a great fall from the 1950s when the population peaked at 914,000. This unquestionably brought a great deal of change and various new social issues to the state and displaced long-settled communities, but this was one group of Americans settling in another part of America.

Today Ohio’s story is very different and post-1965 immigration is beginning to have a profound impact on the state.

Post-1965:

As of the 2020 Census the Non-Hispanic White (ethnic American) population of Ohio had fallen to 76% of the overall population while the African American population remained steady at 12.3% (It has been roughly 11% for roughly 30 years now). What is changing, though, is a large cohort of new demographic groups not previously present in the state. The Asian population has doubled from 0.8% in 1990 to 2.5% as of 2020. The Hispanic population, which was effectively non-existent until the late 1990s, now comprises 4.8% of the population. And this still does not paint a complete picture!

The Migration Policy Institute reports that 5.3% of Ohio’s population are foreign-born immigrants, or about 622,000 people. The MPI also provides data showing that only 16% of these immigrants come from Europe, the traditional source of immigrants to the United States. Another survey shows that a further 5% of Ohio’s population, or about 555,000 people are the second-generation children of immigrants. 10.3% of Ohio’s population is comprised of recent immigrants or their children.

The government of Ohio has enthusiastically embraced these demographic shifts. In 2018 the Republican governor created the Orwellian sounding Office of Opportunities for New Americans and tasked the state government with attracting new immigrants. This agency now publishes regular “New Americans Report” to update the native Ohioans on their own replacement and lack of apparent usefulness!

One of the most recent New Americans Reports gleefully speaks of the fact that between 2000 and 2018 the foreign-born population of Ohio grew by 56% and surpassed 528,000 people. The report goes on to boast that immigrants to the state are younger, more educated, and more apt to start businesses than the aging White and Black populations.

Ohio has no programs to increase the family formation (and therefore birth) rates among its historic and ethnic American populations, nor does the state offer a robust set of programs to get Ohioans into higher education or training.

It is no wonder that the MAGA bandwagon-jumper Vivek Ramaswamy – himself the child of immigrants – wants to be governor. Mr. Ramaswamy has apparently called Americans both lazy and mediocre in his X rants promoting increasing the level of immigration to the country. He holds the same positions as the current Republican governor and government of Ohio! Vivek even appears to deny the existence of a core American people, putting the word native in quotation marks in some of his Tweets.

Repatriation Policy:

The people of Ohio have a choice. They can go from an American governor who apparently wants to replace them to an immigrant descended governor who also wants to replace them! Or they can begin electing politicians who are going to protect their interests and those of their children through repatriation. The state of Ohio will not remain solvent or functional if the foundational population is replaced. Already 22% of Black immigrants in Ohio are receive food stamps while the state provides a massive raft of benefits for immigrant domestic abuse survivors, refugees, and legal immigrants alike!

Illegal Immigrants:

The most important step is in dealing with the 130,000 illegal aliens that professional sources will acknowledge are living in Ohio (there are many more, but we are using official statistics for this piece). Illegal immigrants compose a staggering 22.4% of the immigrant population in the state! These undocumented immigrants would also need to take their roughly 32,000 children under the age of 18 out of the country with them, as White Papers has long had a position against family separation, one we share with immigration czar Tom Homan.

Some 162,000 people currently living in Ohio can and should be expelled by state and local authorities. Crucially, Ohio can 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. This is a fantastic backstop of the next administration is not as keep on deporting illegal aliens as the current administration is.

Visa Holders:

To the great relief of American nationalists roughly half (49%) of immigrants in Ohio have not yet become American citizens and are potentially easily removed from the state, depending on their reason for residency. Canceling the visas and green cards of these non-citizens would enable the removal of some 308,000 million people, roughly 84% of whom are non-European.

These legal immigrant deportees would also need to take their children with them regardless of child citizenship. The data indicates as many as 215,000 children fall into this category.

A robust 523,000-plus people could be repatriated and deported from Ohio if the United States adopted a policy of not renewing visas, green cards, and other documents granting immigrants the right to remain.

These repatriation actions would increase the ethnic American share of the population from 76% today to 80.6% post-repatriation! But, these are not the only actions that can or should be taken to reverse the Great Replacement in the state.

There are still those 48% of immigrants in the state who have gained American citizenship. The citizenship applications and histories of these 318,037 immigrants will need to be carefully scrutinized and investigated. White Papers has always maintained that anyone who gained their American citizenship fairly should be able to retain it regardless of origin, but 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 Ohio, 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 fraud rate of just 50% (it is likely closer to the 80% found by the State Department, but in line with immigrant welfare use) the process of reviewing grants of citizenship would still result 159,000 naturalized immigrants in Ohio losing their US citizenship and being removed from the state and the nation. They would also be required to take their underage children with them.

When All is Said and Done:

The policies outlined above could result in the removal of nearly 844,000 first and second-generation immigrants from the state of Ohio. If the number of immigration frauds is significantly higher (and it likely is) and if the nation were to review policies such as the 1986 IRCA and its known fraudulent applicants the number of repatriations could exceed one million individuals.

This process would result in the ethnic American (White) population of the state increasing from 76% today to 82%. This process would alleviate pressure on Ohio’s housing crisis, reduce crime, empty prisons, open up job opportunities and return power to the people of Ohio. It would also reverse the population replacement of Historic Black Americans and native Americans in the state, both groups having been set aside for growing Hispanic and Asian racial interests.

The Great Replacement can and must be reversed and Americans must reassert our right to our nation-state.
