NYTimes: Population Replacement Is Routine and Renewing

American populations are repeatedly being replaced by migrants and the process is natural, routine, and renewing, says a May 17 op-ed in the New York Times.

The periodic population replacements are essential to the health of the State, wrote Bret Stephens, an op-ed columnist and a zealous advocate for greater economic migration.

The phenomenon of [population] replacement, writ large, is America, and has been from the beginning, sometimes by force, mostly by choice.

The column was posted as the newspaper’s journalists use the Tops marketplace massacre in New York to lash the growing public opposition to the government policy of mass migration.

The fifth [replacement] is the most contentious but also the most routine and unexceptional: the alleged replacement of the native-born white working class with a foreign-born nonwhite working class.

The United States has, from its earliest days, repeatedly “replaced” its working class with migrants, not as an act of substitution, much less as a sinister conspiracy, but as the natural result of upward mobility, the demands of a growing economy and the benefits of a growing population.

The prior replacements include the European takeover of the Indian-held continent, and then the gradual displacement of Protestant societies by waves of Catholic migrants.

The third replacement was caused by the arrival of non-English migrants from Ireland and mainland Europe, and the fourth replacement was the replacement of “WASP elites’ by arriving Jews, he said, adding: “To judge by enrollment figures at Brooklyn Tech or elite universities, the next generation of elites will also be immigrants or their children, many from South or East Asia.”.

For example, a top New York Times editor, Jia Lynn Yang, has shown herself to be a fervent advocate for importing unsullied immigrants to redeem Americans’ homeland from Americans’ sins.

The current generation of immigrants and children of immigrants — like those who came before us — must articulate a new vision for the current era, one that embraces rather than elides how far America has drifted from its European roots.

But the colonialism-like economic strategy also kills many migrants, exploits poor people, and splits foreign families as it extracts human-resources wealth from the poor home countries
