‘The Heartland Visa’: The Push for a New Visa Category to Repopulate American Towns With Foreign Workers

[Major Matt Mason]

Washington has a new pitch for struggling American towns: turn their economic decline into an argument for more immigration.

The Economic Innovation Group, a think tank co-founded by Facebook’s founding president Sean Parker, spells out the transaction in its Heartland Visa proposal:

“In exchange for living in a Heartland Visa community, workers with sufficient earnings will gain permanent residency”

[Major Matt Mason]

More NGO/immigration nonsense.

[No name given]

We need a moratorium on ALL immigration until further notice.

[packagingguy]

Why don’t they set up job training centers for the Americans who already live there?

Oh, because they’re American of course.

[LouAvul]

This is another globalist/liberal scheme. Yeah, I'm on board with repopulating American towns with immigrants. But only if said immigrants are white, English speaking Christian families from Ireland, England, South Africa, maybe?

No more of these stone aged mongrels who take ten times more than they give. Mongrels who refuse to assimilate and turn their host countries into the same sewer they left.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Remember people, “The Great Replacement” is all in your head.

[escapefromboston]

More anti white racism.

[rktman]

Um, after serious consideration of this, NO!

[ArcadeQuarters]

Sounds suspiciously like replacement theory.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But only if said immigrants are white, English speaking Christian families from Ireland, England, South Africa, maybe?

How about no.

[CarmichaelPatriot]

This would essentially be importing future MAGA voters. People who want to work, pay taxes, settle down in and support small communities instead of people who want to take over and big cities dry via welfare programs.

It could be one answer to the demographics issues between the right and the left.

[con-surf-ative]

Are you kidding me? This would be importing a new majority to snuff out the last vestiges of Americana.

[ansel12]

More foreign enclaves inside of an advanced military power, aside from the ending of any capability to protect ourselves within our own borders, will there be any native soil left for us?

[Major Matt Mason]

We need a moratorium on ALL immigration until further notice.

+1.

[I-ambush]

From Bible Belt to Koran Belt.

[boycott]

They want to take away areas that could be a refuge for us to get away from their “refugees.”

We don’t want to be around most of them. We become the refugees.

[Mogger]

But only if said immigrants are white, English speaking Christian families from Ireland, England, South Africa, maybe?

How about no.

Well then, it's either bring in whites from those countries or if we don't start producing our own, our race is done for in the USA.

[ansel12]

The start of the Catholic Irish immigration during the 1840s is what started the immigrant decay of America in the first place, and the English would have to be looked at today individually to see if they resemble the early English.

[Drew68]

How about no.

Why not?

America is a white country founded by white Europeans.

And please don't tell me all immigrants are the same because you and I both know damn well that an Englishman is not the same as a Congolese cannibal.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Because they are not the same. You say it but you do not understand it.

Mass migration of any sort from any where changes the country they migrate to because they see no reason to change.

They bring all the problems of their homeland here. All the bad traits get amplified into "their culture". Especially for the next generations.

I like the Brits and South Africans I have met. But they are not Americans. And if they are imported in bulk they never will be.

A good immigration policy is one at a time with diffusion. They become you.

You do not become them.

America has a culture. I would like to see it kept.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I would like to point out that we did not start importing people in the 1960s because the birth rate was too low. We started mass importation and the birth rate dropped.
