A new poll conducted in France has revealed a stark reality: 83 percent of the population supports deporting certain categories of foreigners already living in the country, including delinquents, criminals, and the long-term unemployed.
The polling data shows a clear national verdict on decades of mass immigration, failed integration, and political cowardice from an establishment that has treated France as a dumping ground for the rest of the world.
The survey, which asked whether specific categories of foreigners already present in France should be returned to their countries of origin, found that more than eight in ten respondents said yes.
Support for deporting foreign delinquents, criminals, and the long-term unemployed was nearly identical among men and women, with 82 percent of men and 84 percent of women backing the measure.
The numbers also spanned various social categories, with support reaching 78 percent among higher-income professionals, 84 percent among lower socioeconomic groups, and 87 percent among inactive respondents.
The strongest figure came from the youngest cohort, with 90 percent of 18–24-year-olds supporting what the survey called “negative immigration” for targeted categories of foreigners.
This number destroys one of the left's most comfortable myths: the young are far from sold on open borders, and most have grown up inside the catastrophic consequences of mass immigration.
On the left, 69 percent of voters backed the removal of foreign delinquents, criminals, and the long-term unemployed, while even far-left voters supported the measure at 66 percent.
On the right, the consensus was overwhelming, with 96 percent of center-right voters and 93 percent of national-conservative voters supporting the measure.
The polling data suggests that remigration is no longer just a slogan used among radicals; it is the democratic demand of a country that wants its borders, streets, and welfare system back.
For years, a globalist, out-of-touch ruling class has told the French people that any serious discussion of mass deportations, remigration, and immigration restriction is immoral.
Now, the voters are overwhelmingly saying that the immoral policy is leaving foreign criminals and permanent welfare dependents in the country while French citizens pay the price.
The term “negative immigration” has gained force because the public no longer believes that slowing arrivals is enough; many French people now want a net reduction in the foreign population where crime, delinquency, non-integration, or long-term dependency are involved.
This gets to the core of remigration as an idea: residency in France is not an unconditional entitlement, and foreign nationals who abuse the country's hospitality should be removed.
France has spent decades expanding the language of welcome while shrinking the rights of its own people, with working-class communities, small towns, schools, hospitals, and housing markets absorbing the costs.
Now, ordinary French citizens increasingly understand that mass immigration is not just an economic issue, but a question of national survival, cultural continuity, and democratic consent.
The polling data also comes as the globalist French state continues to issue residence permits at record levels, with 384,000 first residence permits granted in 2025, an 11.2 percent increase from the previous year.
These numbers confirm that France is being rapidly demographically transformed without the clear consent of the French people, and critics argue that the state's policies are contributing to this demographic change.
Éric Zemmour has long argued that France must go beyond cosmetic restrictions, supporting “zero immigration” and “negative immigration” as a means to restore national control and protect French citizens.
His position, once treated as unspeakable by establishment commentators, now looks closer to the national mood than the open-border dogmas of Paris and Brussels.
The CSA poll shows that the French public is far ahead of its rulers, with voters demanding foreign criminals be removed, welfare dependency ended, borders enforced, and the principle restored that France exists first for the French.
For the globalist class, these numbers represent a stark warning that the old regime of silence is collapsing, while for the national right, they are proof that remigration has become nothing more than common sense.
