Illegals are a greater threat to democracy than anyone supposed, yet not quite in the way many had predicted.
Up until now, I'd always thought the 'great replacement' theory to remove the current Western electorate and replace them with third-world illegal migrants was some nutty fringe-right conspiracy theory.
The idea has been roundly denounced by the establishment as racist, although the French novelist who invented the theory in 2011, Renaud Camus, insisted that his theory was about civilizational values, not skin color.
These days, based on how the migrant crisis is unfolding in a couple of developments, it's possible to wonder.
According to Fox News:
Immigration experts are raising the alarm about how the increasing flow of migrants illegally crossing into the U.S. may significantly impact states' representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College.
Shortly after taking office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation of the U.S. population.

True, but they want to limit it to 5,000 a day now and they really mean it this time.
I know what you mean. Here in central Florida about 1/3 of radio stations seem to be Spanish format. Many business signs are in Spanish only. The roads are becoming like those in Mexico City.
It used to be like that here in Atlanta. Now its also Muslims everywhere and Indians in addition to the latinos.
“True, but they want to limit it to 5,000 a day now and they really mean it this time.”
ONLY 5000 per day.
(And that’s just an arbitrary number where Chomo Joe ‘can’ do something about it but there is nothing saying something MUST be done.)
