Remigration
A remigration is a migration back to the place of origin.
Origin
The term was first used in English in the writings of Andrew Willet, an early 17th century Church of England theologian.[1]
Modern use
Since the mid-2000s, the idea of remigration has been used by thinkers and political leaders of the Identitarian Movement, such as Renaud Camus or Martin Sellner, as an euphemism for the mass deportation of non-European immigrants and native residents with a migrant background (the criteria of exclusion being a vaguely defined degree of assimilation to European culture), back to their country of origin, from Europe and the rest of the Western world.[2][3] The term is often connected to the concept of the Great Remplacement, which states that the white Christian European population in Europe is being progressively replaced with non-European people, specifically populations from North Africa and the Middle East, through mass migration and demographic growth.[4][5]
