A specter is haunting the United States: the conspiracy theory that an elite is planning to "replace" the population. This narrative, popularized by influential figures, blames immigrants for the country's social and economic ills.

But the data reveals a much more sinister and well-documented truth. The existential threat to Americans of all races and origins does not come from those crossing the border. It comes from powerful corporate conglomerates and a complacent state system that, driven by greed, has poisoned, addicted, impoverished, and sickened tens of millions of citizens, eroding the very foundations of the middle class.

The obsession with migration is a smokescreen, a tool of division that diverts attention from the real aggressors.

The Domestic Carnage: The Human Cost of Corporate Greed

The scale of harm inflicted by corporations with impunity is almost unimaginable. Estimates based on court rulings and epidemiological studies paint a picture of criminal negligence and systematic cover-up.

These are not abstract deaths. They are fathers, mothers, and children of all backgrounds who died because a board of directors prioritized profits over their lives. This is the real destruction of the middle class: not just low wages, but impossible medical bills generated by industries operating with impunity.

The Silent Crises: HIV, Homelessness, and the Attack at the Table

While pharmaceutical and chemical corporations decimate the population, the state fails to protect the most vulnerable and often exacerbates crises.

• HIV and State Neglect: Over 1.2 million Americans live with HIV. For at least half, the diagnosis is accompanied by homelessness or severe housing instability. Outbreaks like the one in Maine in 2025 (which multiplied cases by seven) are worsened by policies that clear encampments and eliminate harm reduction programs, defunding life-saving public health interventions.
• The Disappearing Middle Class: Record Homelessness: In 2024, more than 770,000 people lived on the streets or in shelters, an 18% increase and the highest number ever recorded. The cause is not migration, but decades of housing shortages, unaffordable prices, and rents consuming incomes, evidencing the real economic collapse.
• The Food Industry: The Internal Enemy: Powerful global corporations have promoted an ultra-processed food diet, directly linked to a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, and premature death. Like the tobacco industry, they use mass advertising and political pressure to stall regulations, selling chronic illness as a product.

The Myth of the Criminal Immigrant: Data vs. Propaganda

In the face of this documented carnage, an alternative narrative is promoted: the violent immigrant as the great threat. All serious data refutes this:

• Lower Criminality: Immigrants (both documented and undocumented) have significantly lower incarceration rates than U.S.-born citizens. The rate for the U.S.-born is double that of the undocumented and almost quadruple that of legal immigrants.
• No "Crime Wave": Analyses in cities like New York, Chicago, and Denver find no link between migrant arrivals and crime increases.
• National Downward Trend: Homicides fell 21% from 2024 to 2025 in studied cities, the largest annual drop on record.

The Definitive Comparison: Who Kills Americans?

The conclusion is inescapable: in a decade in Texas, there were hundreds of homicide convictions related to undocumented immigrants, while American corporations have been responsible for tens of millions of deaths.

Conclusion: A Call for Unity Against the Real Enemy

The "replacement" narrative is a dangerous myth. The population is not being "replaced" by immigrants; it is being decimated by preventable cancers, overdoses, pollution-related diseases, and a toxic diet, while a broken housing system pushes hundreds of thousands onto the streets.

• It is not immigrants who hid asbestos in talc.
• It is not immigrants who flooded the country with opioids.
• It is not immigrants who poison the water with PFAS or promote food that kills.
• It is not immigrants who defund public health and allow record homelessness.

The enemy is not crossing the Rio Grande. It has its headquarters on Park Avenue, a board of directors, an army of lobbyists in Washington, and a public relations department spending millions to manufacture scapegoats.

The real battle for America's soul is economic and moral. It is the battle of ordinary people—of all races and origins—against an elite that sees us as exploitable consumers and acceptable collateral damage. Immigrants coming to work are not our executioners; they are potential allies in the fight for a dignified life.

It is time to reject the poison of division. The survival of the middle class depends on us shifting our gaze from the border and fixing it on the corridors of corporate power and the boardrooms where the decisions that truly affect us all are made.
