White Papers is proud to present its first piece of draft legislation on the topic of remigration! The Remigration Act of 2025.
Our team has created a draft bill that we feel touches on many of the necessary reforms to enable remigration. The draft legislation creates many of the necessary programs to enable both mandatory remigration, for criminals, frauds, and welfare dependents and voluntary remigration for the tens of millions of people that polling in recent years has consistently shown would leave the United States if they had the resources. This draft legislation provides those resources to those populations!
While there is certainly no room in this country for those immigrants and their descendants who have lied, cheated, dissembled, and , the core of this bill is about choice. Our remigration programs offer the unhappy and poorly integrated elements of the post-1965 immigrant and African American populations the choice to depart the United States with money in the bank, less debt, and a world of opportunity before them. More importantly though, this legislation represents a choice the American people can make to reverse much of the damage to our nation that the past 60 years of mass immigration caused.
Please read the legislation, share your thoughts, share it with your Congressmen and women, and spread it around!
H.R. 1965
