A far-right, white supremacist ideology known as “remigration” is gaining traction, aiming to make life so punishing for immigrants that they leave the United States. This concept has now become official policy under the Trump administration.
Official Endorsement of Remigration
The State Department has established an “office of remigration,” and the Department of Homeland Security has publicly supported it on social media, stating: “The stakes have never been higher and the goal has never been more clear: Remigration now.”
Journalist Investigation
Carter Sherman discusses the issue with journalist and author Paola Ramos, who has documented the stories of immigrants who have made the difficult decision to leave the US. Ramos’s Rolling Stone article, The Great Reverse Migration, highlights how this departure could spell the death of the American Dream.
Implications for the American Dream
The exodus of immigrants, driven by hostile policies, raises questions about the future of the US as a land of opportunity. Ramos explores the human cost and the broader societal impact of this reverse migration.
