Negative immigration
In the right-wing political spectrum, especially among the FPÖ and Republicans , the term negative immigration (also known as negative immigration ) denotes a concept that aims to reduce immigration to a country or region and ultimately enable certain migrants to be expelled to their home countries. Reference is made to the fact that these are only people of foreign origin who are guilty of criminal behavior or who refuse to integrate , e. B. by refusing to learn the language of the country.
The term is most commonly used in Austria by the FPÖ. The word "negative immigration" was voted " Unword of the Year " 2005 by the jurors of the Austrian German campaign at the University of Graz . As a justification, the jury stated that on the one hand the word would "cover up the intended content in several ways" and that it expresses "a clear contradiction in terms , since immigration means an increase in the population" and on the other hand the word "could refer to this Wise veiled to express the desire for undesirable people to emigrate to their home countries " , so the jury.
