Legal Immigration – A Federal Policy, Not a Border Crisis
In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. issued approximately 1.3 million green cards. This massive intake is not a result of “broken” borders; it is federal policy operating on autopilot. Most of these visas were granted through family chain migration, not economic merit. Most of these new residents originate from nations that do not share the Western Christian heritage of the American founding. Our system prioritizes foreign family reunification over our demographic and cultural continuity of the historic American people.
Why We Must Expand Our Talking Points. Our club has focused too narrowly on illegal immigration. This is a tactical error that concedes the moral high ground. We must address the “legal” system for the following reasons:
- The Legitimacy Trap: By obsessing only over illegal entry, we implicitly validate the current legal system as beneficial. Legal status does not equal benefit to the nation. The 1965 Hart-Celler Act was explicitly designed to dismantle the quotas that kept America a cohesive, European-descended nation. Accepting this legal framework means accepting our own demographic displacement.
- The Assimilation Failure: Mass immigration, whether legal or illegal, is too high for genuine assimilation. When we import millions who hold different social and political values, we do not get “new Americans.” We get balkanized enclaves. A high-trust, liberty-oriented society requires a shared culture, not a collection of fragmented, foreign populations.
- Duty to Posterity: Our mission is to secure “the blessings of liberty” for ourselves and our posterity. We have a fundamental duty to our own people. Prioritizing the “rights” of foreign nationals to move here over the preservation of our nation’s historic character is a betrayal of the American project.
We must stop merely managing our national decline. It is time to advocate for a drastic reduction in legal immigration. If we want a future for our country, we must protect our borders and our demographics.
Even when counting all formal, non-voluntary removals—combining ICE interior enforcement and CBP border processing—the total for 2025 reaches only about 622,000. The 1.3 million green cards issued annually, the vast majority of which facilitate chain migration from nations that do not share our Christian, Western heritage, dwarf this figure.
The math is undeniable: our federal system is institutionalizing mass population growth, importing foreign nationals far faster than enforcement can ever hope to counter.
