Replacement and Remigration in Rhode Island

250 years ago, the United States was the first nation of European settlers to declare independence from the sovereigns of Europe, and Rhode Island was the first colony to declare itself free of British rule.

... Rhode Island has served as a representation of "America in miniature" since before there was a United States of America...

In the year 1960, just five years before the passage of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act that would throw open America’s borders, Rhode Island was over 96% White American. In the year 1970, when America’s foreign-born population reached its historic low of less than 5%, the foreign-born population of Rhode Island was low at just 7.8%... and overwhelmingly European in origin. Rhode Island was not only one of the most homogeneous states in the United States, but it was one of the most homogeneous societies on the planet...

Were these policies to be implemented comprehensively then Rhode Island could see a decline in its foreign-born population from 16% today to roughly 8% post-remigration. The overall state population would decline from about 1.1 million to roughly 1.02 million and the White American share of the population would increase to around 78%, a meaningful 10-point increase on the current demographic...
