In France a recent opinion poll shows that 83 per cent of those surveyed want to expel foreigners who are lawbreakers, criminals or long-term unemployed from the country.

Among the youngest, the proportion who want this is as high as 90 per cent, the poll, which CSA conducted for Journal du Dimanche, CNews and Europe 1, shows.
There are slightly more women than men who say yes to remigration:

82 per cent of men are in favour, and 84 per cent of women. Among those with higher education, 78 per cent are in favour, among those with lower education 84 per cent are in favour, and among those who are not in work, 87 per cent are in favour.

Support for expulsions is high across the entire age spectrum:

Except for those aged 35–49, where 77 per cent are positive about this, all other age groups are over 80 per cent: those aged 25–34 are at 81 per cent, those aged 50–64 at 83 per cent and those aged 65 and over at 87 per cent.
Those between 18 and 24 years old are the most positive about introducing negative immigration, with 90 per cent supporting this.

A majority are in favour of expulsions across the entire political spectrum:

On the left, 69 per cent of voters are in favour (66 per cent for LFI, 75 per cent for PS and 68 per cent for the Greens). On the right this will is even stronger, since 96 per cent of those who put an LR ballot in the urn want this process to be introduced. RN voters follow closely with 93 per cent who are positive about this.

Mainstream media often give the impression that remigration is a far-right concept, but the CSA poll shows that it receives support from many ordinary people in France.
