New York is an icon of the United States. From the Statue of Liberty to the titular city, the state has long been at the heart of American identity and self-image. Still, it no longer reflects the historic nation that once dominated the Empire State. The dispossession of New Yorkers is underway and the Biden government has only increased the speed of the Great Replacement in the state through its uniquely lax immigration policies. Still, there is an alternative for New Yorkers. The reversal of immigration-driven dispossession is possible, practical, and necessary.

New York is oft considered the East Coast version of California: A state with a hyper-liberal population hopelessly dedicated to welcoming the world to their shores regardless of the cost to Americans. But, just as with California, this is not the full picture of New York. 48% of White New Yorkers voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election and just 50% voted for Joe Biden – 1% less than Biden received in California and effectively a tie.

Just 22% of minority voters in New York supported Trump while 77% backed Biden. We not endorse either of these candidates, but it is nonetheless important to note that if the demographics of New York today reflected the majority of its history the state would at least be politically competitive in nature and not subject to hegemonic uniparty domination at the hands of the Democratic party and its imported voter base. Historic Americans comprise just 60% of the voting population of the state, and with their own vote split, reversing the demographic trends in the state is key to restoring political competitiveness. Not to mention securing the future of Americans in their own nation.

In 1970 the foreign-born population of New York hit a record low of just 12% and even then it was still the highest percentage in the entire country. At the time no other state came close to New York’s total and 80% of states had a foreign-born population below 5%. As of 2022, the foreign-born population of New York has effectively doubled to 23%. The US has gone from having only six states with a foreign-born population above 10% to having 18 states which now feature foreign-born populations at or above 10%, with an additional 5 states not far behind at roughly 9.5% foreign-born.

In total some 4.5 million immigrants reside in the State of New York. Furthermore, 37.5% of all children under 18 in New York, or some 1.4 million people, are the children of recent immigrants to the state.

This rapidly growing immigrant population has had a drastic effect on the racial demographics of the State. In 1970 80.1% of the state’s population was White, while today the White population of New York stands at just 52.5%. Additionally, millions of native-born Americans have fled the state in recent decades due to rapidly increasing immigrant populations. Since the early 1970s, New York has suffered record amounts of net migration out of the state, with more than 200,000 Americans leaving each year. Between 2020 and 2023 alone New York is estimated to have lost 884,000 residents while welcoming hundreds of thousands more foreign immigrants.

New Yorkers are in desperate need of policy change to pull their state out of terminal decline and in order to do so will require a large-scale repatriation of their recent immigrant population.

Roughly 40%, or 1.75 million, immigrants in the Empire State have yet to become naturalized citizens of the United States. This means that these foreign nationals could be easily removed through simple administrative measures. Canceling the visas and green cards of these non-citizens would enable the removal of some 4.725 million people, 88% of whom will be Hispanic or Asian.

Combined with the enforcement of immigration law to deport the one million plus illegal aliens in the state (there are many more, but we are using official statistics for this piece), New York could see an immigrant population reduction of up to 2.75 million people. This would not only help to restore demographic balance, but it would also save the New York taxpayers billions of dollars.

As illegal aliens leave the state, and immigrants pack up to return to their homelands thanks to these policy prescriptions, they must also be obligated to take with them their underage children. These children, numbering some 1.4 million, will have to return to their ethnic homelands and will pose no immediate risk of becoming new left-wing voters unduly influencing American politics.

With illegal aliens, resident aliens and non-U.S. citizens out of the way, this brings us to the very large immigrant-descended and naturalized-immigrant populations who have acquired U.S. citizenship.

The most efficient method to deal with this population is through mandatory review of their citizenship and immigration paperwork, specifically in the realm of family reunification.

Some 70% of immigrants in the United States are admitted on the basis of 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. The proof for this is best demonstrated by a 2008 investigation wherein the U.S. State Department discovered, through DNA testing, that over 80% of individuals admitted into the U.S. as family members of a “refugee” were not related to that individual.

The U.S. government has since mandated DNA testing for refugees who request their family members come to the U.S.

However, this DNA testing mandate has not been put in place for any other category of family reunification.

Simply by requiring proof that immigrants are related through marriage and birth certificates, and (yes!) DNA testing, it is likely that a substantial portion of U.S. citizens in California, and in the U.S. 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. This happens with some regularity, and with a great many Hispanics having felony convictions, it would not take much for the state government to simply refer these felons to the USCIS for a citizenship review.

These policy prescriptions would drastically increase the Historic American population of New York state and more importantly, increase the native-born share of voters to nearly 75%. The people of New York could once again enjoy competitive elections which would send more Republicans to Congress and the Statehouse and perhaps even make the state competitive at the presidential level.

The incentives for policymakers and the population are clear. The Great Replacement can be reversed and all for the better.
