Europe Prepares for Remigration?

"Remigration" being the preferred euphemism for "kicking them out and sending them back home."

They plan to send illegal aliens to detention areas outside of Europe as their meritless asylum claims are processed.

The European Union could have its first deportation centres operating outside its borders before the end of 2027 and could even begin establishing them as early as next year.

That was the message from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in an interview with the Financial Times, in which she said that several European governments are already working alongside the European Commission to turn into reality one of the most controversial migration proposals of recent years and one of the key priorities championed by patriotic movements seeking to reverse the damage caused by years of uncontrolled immigration.

According to Frederiksen, there is a genuine "coalition of the willing"--using the phrase normally associated with European countries unconditionally supporting Ukraine--among several member states that aims to develop these return hubs in third countries with European funding.

The Social Democratic leader said that preparations are already sufficiently advanced for the first centre to become operational within a relatively short timeframe. Her position demonstrates that concerns about immigration are not merely ideological but also a matter of effective governance.

Her comments come only days after nineteen EU member states publicly endorsed the possibility of financing similar structures with European funds, inspired by the model established by Italy in Albania. The European Commission has also confirmed that the necessary legislative framework is already in place and that it is now up to member states to submit concrete proposals.

The shift is difficult to overlook. For years, outsourcing migration management beyond Europe's borders was considered both a political and legal taboo. When Denmark proposed transferring asylum seekers to Rwanda in 2021, the initiative triggered strong criticism from human rights organisations, left-wing parties, and numerous European governments.

Today, the debate is no longer about whether such a system should exist, but about how it should be implemented. The question is no longer what, but when.

Well, those seeking "asylum" should have no objection because they will be granted asylum in these third country areas while their claims are processed, right?

On the other hand, if they're just migrants gaming the system to gain entry into the countries with the welfare systems of their choice, they might not like the plan.

But I'm sure it's mostly the former, right?

Meanwhile, the same left that insisted that Haiti was a beautiful country when Trump offhandedly referred to it as a "shithole" are now saying it's a death sentence to send Haitians back to Haiti.

But I thought it was a beautiful country...?
