1. Wikipedia definition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration

Remigration, also called repatriation, is a far-right and Identitarian political concept referring to the forced or promoted return of non-ethnically European immigrants, often including their descendants who were born in Europe, back to their place of racial origin, typically with no regard for their citizenship. It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement in Europe. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some residents with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly-defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

Advocates of remigration promote the concept in pursuit of ethno-cultural homogeneity. According to Deutsche Welle, ethnopluralism, the Nouvelle Droite concept that different ethnicities require their own segregated living spaces, creates a need for remigration of people with "foreign roots". Scholar José Ángel Maldonado has compared the idea to a "soft type of ethnic cleansing under the guise of deportation and segregation".

Presented by far-right extremists as a remedy to mass immigration and the perceived Islamisation of Europe, remigration has increasingly become an integral policy position of the Identitarian movement. Research from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, conducted in April 2019, showed a distinct rise in conversations about remigration on Twitter between 2012 and 2019.

Yes, it should be reported on more. I had to look it up.

2. He's flooding the zone with bullshit.

The media has pretty much lowered the bar for him so much that nothing triggers their outrage meter anymore. And no way will it stop a story about how Kamala still has "work to do."

8. Republicans are firehosing in desperation right now.

9. They are looking for ANYTHING that bites.

And they don't care if it's supportable at all.

3. At one time of immigration, the Irish and Italians were considered non-white.

Trump called DeSantis 'Meatball Ron'.

4. My mom is terrified. She hears the dog whistles loud and clear

Like trump and all of his kids (except for Tiffany), my mom is from another country. She immigrated here with her family from Guyana South America in the mid-1970s and met and married my dad in New York City. She has done more for this country than trump ever could or would.

I'm glad that trump and his racist, xenophobic thugs are finally saying the quiet part out loud. At least now, the millions of Americans who were born somewhere else, or whose spouse or parents were born somewhere else, will hopefully think twice before supporting trump in this election.

6. Probably because so few (including in the media) know what it means. I note Dennis Donnovan included definition

in his post upstream, but the full context may still be unappreciated.

7. DonOld probably got that terminology from Bannon or nazi Miller

tRump just pulls this crap out of his butt as dog whistles to his cult. he is too dumb to have any facts to back up his daily lies

10. As a side note, when I studied immigration history in grad school years ago, we used the term "reverse migration"

to describe people who moved back and forth — i.e, Italian migrants who came to the U.S. to build our cities, saved money, and returned home to marry and build their homes there. This is not what Trump is talking about.
