Remigration

A bold and meticulously argued blueprint for solving Europe's immigration crisis, and how nations can reclaim their identity in an age of demographic upheaval. Across Europe, decades of uncontrolled immigration from the developing world have plunged the continent into an era of political and cultural upheaval. The causes and consequences of this crisis have been endlessly debated-by voices on both the left and the right-but few have seriously considered what a politically realistic and morally defensible solution might look like. In Remigration, Austrian writer and activist Martin Sellner presents a clear and unsparing account of how Europe reached this point and what must be done to recover its balance. Far from the caricature of an extremist right-wing demagogue, Sellner writes with restraint and analytic precision. He argues that the continent's paralysis stems from a "politics of guilt" that made national self-preservation morally suspect and demographic self-replacement inevitable. Sellner's proposal, while controversial, is both humane and meticulously reasoned: The voluntary return of large numbers of unassimilated migrants to their countries of origin, combined with a renaissance of civic confidence at home, opens the path forward for a healthy Europe. Drawing on existing European and international models, he outlines how such a policy could be implemented peacefully and pragmatically.Remigration offers a warning from Europe's experience and a mirror for America's own immigration dilemmas. As the United States faces unprecedented border pressures, Sellner's analysis raises the question that defines our time: What constitutes the contemporary nation, and do its people have a right to remain themselves?
