This demographic transformation has brought consistent misfortune to the state’s founding White population.
At the start of 2024, a White pastor and father of two, Nick Davi, was shot dead by a Filipina Onlyfans model. This killing came on the heels of the violent death of Jonathan Lewis, a White teen who was beaten to death by a group of 15 minority teenagers comprising both Blacks and Latinos. In a final example of the ‘wonders’ of multiracial Nevada, we can look to April of 2024 when a student was savagely beaten by a Black teacher in Clark County for the purported and unproven use of a racial slur.
Violence is not the only thing that defines modern multicultural Nevada, though. The economy has entered a period of prolonged stagnation which coincides with its growing minority population.
The state’s unemployment rate is two points above the national average and Nevada has the distinction of being the second most unemployed state in the Union, behind only California. The state’s real median household income has not risen since 2000 and the cost of living is more than 2% above the national average.
Between 2020 and 2023 the state population has grown by nearly 100,000, virtually all non-Western and the cost of housing has increased significantly. Rents in the state have increased to a point where they cost nearly 50% of the average monthly income of a Nevadan and affording a one-bedroom apartment on the state minimum wage of $11.25 would take 82 hours of work each week, according to the Nevada Housing Coalition.
This state of affairs most notably impacts Nevada’s large population of Americans over 60, nearly all of whom are White. Immigration and demographic change are pricing Whites out of a state they founded, built, and continue to uphold financially.
And the state government welcomes these demographic changes. Nevada has established a web page of its Department of Health and Human Services dedicated to getting employment licenses for immigrants. Nevada also offers driving licenses and other identity documents to illegal aliens, giving them access to countless public services that Americans pay for.
Policy Options:
This state of affairs need not be permanent, however. Nevada has a White voter base that is growing more right-wing. In 2020 Joe Biden took Nevada with a 5.3-point lead ahead of Trump, but recent polling shows that there has been a significant shift. Former President Trump leads by an average of 6.5 points in Nevada as his promise to enact the “largest deportation in American history” resonates with the state’s embattled White minority.
Still, Nevadans have a range of policy options beyond the simple deportation of illegal aliens. A series of other executive actions could radically transform the demographics of the state, and bring about a White majority once again.
In total some 96% of immigrants in Nevada are from racial minority backgrounds and the 587,000 immigrants in the state comprise a 20% share of Nevada’s population, though only 51% possess US citizenship. An additional 95,973 children in the state reside with an illegal alien family member.
In total, some 380,000 people could be removed from Nevada if the state government enacted policies on the model of Florida or Louisiana. These states ban foreigners from certain countries from purchasing, leasing, or renting land near critical infrastructure such as military bases or pipelines. Nevada could easily expand these laws to cover the state as a whole, thereby removing the ability of foreign-born people to settle in the state.
This same process could also be achieved if the Federal government canceled visas and green cards, and enforced deportation against illegal aliens.
Still, simply enforcing the removal of Nevada’s non-citizen immigrant population and their children would increase the White share of the population to 51.4% and reestablish Nevada’s historic White majority, if only slightly.
An additional policy option would be for the state to investigate cases of suspected immigration and naturalization fraud, both of which are widespread.
Some 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. 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 DNA testing, it is likely that a substantial portion of naturalized citizens in Nevada, and in the U.S. as a whole, could have their citizenship revoked on the grounds of fraud.
Presuming that the fraud rate is only half of what it was in the famous refugee case, a rate of 40%, would denaturalize some 121,000 immigrants in Nevada. Up to an additional 154,000 children of immigrants could also be expected to depart with their denaturalized parents, bringing the share of total deportations and repatriations from the state up to 655,000 people.
This entire policy suite would bring the White share of Nevada’s population to 57.2% and establish a much more secure political and economic future for the state.
Conclusion:
The policy options are available to put Nevada on a path to resecuring a majority White population. If the state, or Federal government, or some combination thereof were to take the necessary policy options to make this happen it would prove to the American people that repatriation is human, viable, affordable, and replete with benefits.
Then a national conversation about voluntary, paid, repatriation for naturalized and American-born minorities could begin.
