    Like helping refugees return home could be a decent reason that gets twisted to sound bad.

    Probably isn’t, but it’s possible.

      He is working together with the Sweden Democrats. You don’t need to second guess the motivations there. The Sweden Democrats don’t care one bit about the well being of migrants. The whole idea is absurd.

      The term “Remigration” does not mean “helping” anyone with anything. It’s exclusively used by people demanding ethnic cleansing, or at the very least systematic deportations of all refugees (rather also other immigrants, choice of groups may vary and in it may also include 2nd, 3rd or even 4th generations depending on their background and/or religion)

        Oh lovely… Sounds like Reform here in the UK then.

        It also seems to be part of escalation from the far right. Before it was no more immigrants, now that immigration in the UK is coming down its turning into get rid of the immigrants already here.

          That’s correct. And this is coming from the “I’m not racist” crowd. It’s never been about simply reducing net migration, it’s always been about ethnic cleansing and making sure there’s no more brown people in the country. While they’re at it, they’ll go after queer people and political opponents too.

          Almost starts to sound like something we’ve seen before in history.
