Historic Americans have been told for decades that “diversity is a strength” and that immigrants are needed for a variety of jobs and tasks. There exists, in the narrative of the neoliberal ruling class, jobs which “Americans just won’t do”, such as pick fruit or build homes. While in other cases, Americans are fed stories about labor shortages which are “limiting economic growth”. A narrative which is being broadly pushed at the current moment, especially by the Chamber of Commerce.
We have made many proposals regarding a Great Repatriation, meaning: an attempt to reverse the demographic decline of Heritage Americans in the United States. One of the primary concerns which we have yet to address, however, is the working population of the United States. Who will pave the roads, care for the sick, pick the fruit, and ensure that businesses are able to find enough workers to function?
The answer is the American people!
In a previous piece entitled The Great American Crisis we covered how, despite declining recruitment, Whites still make up the vast majority of the public servants in the United States. Nearly 75% of healthcare workers, 76% of police officers, 85% of EMS workers, and 84% of firefighters. To name but a few professions.
But, what about those jobs in the private sector or the trades based professions which Americans rely upon every day? What would happen to those positions and related services if America began reversing the Great Replacement?
It seems sensible to begin with an age old refrain of the Chamber of Commerce and Republican party. That “the fruit will rot in the fields!” without cheap immigrant labor.
Whites make up the largest share of farm workers, at 45% of the total agricultural workforce in the United States. While Hispanics come in second place at 40% of the nation’s agricultural workforce. This means that, despite popular portrayal, great American farm is still overwhelmingly powered by the management, labor and toil of the Europeans who founded the country and through Manifest Destiny civilized an entire continent..
Regardless, losing a large percentage of the farm workforce may seem like a hobble, until one takes into account several factors. Farm laborers are only 1.3% of the total US working population, and these numbers decline more and more with each passing year.
