This tile mural on the Igreja do Carmo church in Porto, Portugal tells the story of the founding of the Carmelite Order, placed there in honor of the monks who occupied the church. Though an ancient story, the artist borrowed modern (at least, modern in 1912) inspiration from Dutch delftware artists to give the mural a classic, timeless feel. Incredibly, Porto felt no need to import vast numbers of Dutch people into the body politic to have Dutch-inspired art.
Last year, I had the immense honor of presenting at the first Remigration Summit in Milan (we posted it in full here). In preparation for this year’s conference in Porto (get your tickets here before they sell out!), we prepared a set of infographics for Europe that we hope will serve you as a quick-reference guide to your country’s demographic situation and the effect on those statistics that we can reasonably expect from our practical Remigration strategies.
We propose a combination of both Mandatory and Voluntary Remigration policies:
Mandatory policies include:
- Deport all illegal immigrants
- Denaturalize and deport criminals and those who obtained citizenship through fraud
- Visa cancellation
Voluntary remigration policies include economic incentives for people to remigrate back to their home countries. Polling data reveals that consistently across Western counties, anywhere from 45% of People of Color (according to a Monmouth University poll) to 66% of working-age non-Westerners (per a Word on the Curb survey in Britain) would leave if given the resources to do so. Therefore, in our projections, we assume a moderate 50% of people would opt-in to voluntary remigration with the appropriate economic support.
