The blog in the past has voiced opposition to the [[Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965]], preferring for the [[United States|United States of America]] to move to a white-only immigration policy, along with an [[ethnic cleansing]], (peacefully or otherwise), to make the U.S. a white [[ethnic nationalism|ethnic state]].
