EU sees rise in deportation rates for non-EU migrants
June 28 (Reuters) - A growing proportion of non-European Union citizens ordered to leave EU territory are being returned to countries outside the bloc as part of efforts to rein in irregular migration, data from the EU's statistics office shows.
Curious how much of this is expats from the UK not realizing they can’t live in the EU anymore.
Man good we throw out the English people.
On the other hand more news like this might get people away from far right.

Xenophobic arguments are not "about the numbers" or rationality. They are about fear. You can deport as many people as you want, the argument will not go away, as long as there's a single migrant anywhere (and possibly beyond). Also, voters tend to be more right-wing if they don't know any migrants themselves because either there are few/no migrants where they live or they're segregated from them.
Also look at Biden or Obama — they had more people deported than any US president who came before them. Biden even instituted an "upper limit" on migration recently. Yet, they will still be attacked as "weak on migration".
The only way to win (as a society) is to integrate migrants well. And to make sure people don't need to flee their home countries.
Exactly and working against that fear is the important part, throwing out people that are problematic is a good step, you can simultaneously work on better integration, like Germany did with the overhaul of the citizenship program.
Efficient integration also means reducing the number of immigrants in certain areas that have too many, moving them somewhere else is better as they don't have the ability to build subsocieties
And of course its not about the numbers itself, its about the number of immigrants that shouldn't be here due to crimes, there was almost a decade of the issue being effectively ignored and the voters show that, every other day is a headline about a immigrant doing crimes and being known beforehand to the authoritys, its a actual issue, this issue causes xenophobia.
And im not in favor of a "upper limit" or throwing out people that integrate. Its idiotic to do that and doesn't help at all, its even counterproductive.
And of course, fighting the root of the problem would help a lot but its often not possible or too complex, or in some cases counterproductive "look how much money we spend on those [slurs] while people here have it so bad" -right people fishing for voters (efficiently due to our current economic situation)
Yes because appeasing to voters by copying inhumane far right rethoric and politics has worked out so well in the past for the parties on the democratic spectrum.
EU migrants not yet!
