It has been theorized by some on the right that a thinly veiled goal of the left's open borders and broadly welcoming immigration policies is to eventually outnumber and replace majority-white native-born American citizens with foreign-born migrants and their offspring, in the interest of "diversity" for diversity's sake.

Though Democrats and the media are quick to denounce that "replacement theory" as racist and xenophobic, Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has essentially been talking about doing exactly that during her campaign, Breitbart reported.

One of her plans, if elected, is to dramatically increase the size of a federal program that is literally called the Diversity Visa Lottery and was intended from its inception to specifically increase the nation's racial diversity with the importation of foreign-born minorities.

Diversity for the sake of diversity

Breitbart noted that VP Harris, in campaign events and media interviews, has discussed resurrecting a failed piece of legislation she previously supported known as the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, various provisions of which would massively increase both legal and illegal immigration into the United States and place them all on a fast-track to naturalization and citizenship.

One aspect of that plan is to increase by half the number of migrants allowed entry annually from a select group of nations that are part of the Diversity Lottery Visa Program, which was passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress in 1990 and was signed into law by former President George H.W. Bush.

The explicit goal of that program is to increase America's racial diversity by randomly awarding entry visas to applicants from predominately non-white foreign nations that historically have low rates of immigration into the U.S., mostly including countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, many of which have serious problems with terrorism.

That diversity lottery program is currently capped at 50,000 migrants per year, but under Harris, she would push to increase that cap by at least 25,000, either through legislation or executive order, to a new total of 75,000 per year, which would amount to three-quarters of a million new arrivals brought into the U.S. and granted citizenship over the next decade simply because they are not native-born white people.

What is the "great replacement theory"?

To be sure, very few on the left or in the media will acknowledge the unspoken reality of the so-called "great replacement theory" in action, and as noted most are quick to denounce the very notion as "nativist," "racist," and "xenophobic," among other derogatory rejoinders, even as it is clearly taking place.

There are a few different variations of the theory, some more extreme than others, such as one based on a leftist-enabled "invasion" of minority migrants to eventually replace white Americans as the population's majority -- a goal that coincides with America's current declining birthrate for native-born citizens that is below the standard replacement rate.

Interestingly enough, though he'd likely never openly admit it, former President Bill Clinton seemed to subtly endorse the replacement theory when, according to the New York Post, he suggested while campaigning for VP Harris that more immigration was necessary because "America isn’t having enough babies to keep our populations up."

Another variation of the theory is based on politics and entails rapidly granting citizenship to non-white migrants who will vote predominately for Democrats to dilute and override the votes of white conservatives, while still another is based on antisemitism and accuses Jewish elites of facilitating the replacement plot.

What would Harris' broader plan do?

As for the broader U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 that VP Harris plans to revive if elected in November, the conservative Heritage Foundation sharply criticized it at the time it was introduced as the "most radical piece of immigration legislation ever introduced in America" that "seeks to reward illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens."

"It is a bold attempt to trade American national security, sovereignty, and well-being for perceived political benefit," the organization continued. "America deserves immigration laws that prioritize Americans, lawful immigrants, U.S. sovereignty, and national and economic security, not illegal aliens, smugglers, cartels, gangs, and breaking the law."

Heritage added, "The USCA would erase the distinction between legal and illegal immigration, includes no border security, would increase both illegal and legal immigration, would skyrocket costs for the American taxpayer, does not advance American interests with regard to immigration policy, and cheapens American citizenship."
