" Great Replacement " conspiracy theory has inspired violence in the past and could do so again in the future.

An antisemitic version accuses Jews and Jewish organizations of engineering the surge of asylum seekers.

Another version asserts that Democrats are intentionally bringing in immigrants to dilute the strength of Republican voters.
