Florida district 3 Representative Kat Cammarck (R-FL): "1/6th of people in the US are foreign born. That is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for in the United States."
Cammack was one of 139 representatives who voted on January 7, 2021, to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.[43] On the House floor, she said the January 6 attacks "furthermore resolved" her objection to the certification process and that, as representatives of the people, members of Congress must stand for a free and fair election.[44] Numerous inquiries have found no evidence that the election was unfree or unfair to an extent that changed its outcome.[45][46]
DHS posted a declaration on X for immigrants to “remigrate,” threading a link to the agency’s self-deportation app.
At first glance, the post could be seen as a straightforward reference to the Trump administration’s long-standing immigration policies, which have called for immigrants to “voluntarily self-deport” back to their home countries.
But experts who study and monitor extremism and the far right told CNN they’d urge caution when invoking the word, which has historic roots, including Nazi ideology and, more recently, a violent conspiracy theory that’s inspired terrorist attacks in the US and abroad.
Here’s what we know:
A brief, dark history of a loaded word
Extremism expert Cynthia Miller-Idriss was researching Nazi iconography for her 2019 book when she said she came across an image that made her pause.
The picture – emblazoned on a T-shirt – showed Jewish people being loaded onto a ship bound for Madagascar. It was captioned, “Have a nice trip,” she said.
And it was a reference to the Nazis’ “Madagascar Plan.”
In the late 1930s, “before the concentration camps and gas chambers … there was a solution to remigrate Jews to Madagascar,” Miller-Idriss explained.
Indeed, Adolf Hitler weighed multiple remigration policies and other antisemitic proposals before arriving at his final, devastating solution to the “Jewish Question” – the Holocaust.
And although the world vowed “never again,” Miller-Idriss said decades later, neo-Nazis were proudly wearing references to the antisemitic remigration proposal on T-shirts.
Remigration is “this idea that you should send people ‘who don’t belong in this country’ to another place,” Miller-Idriss said.

The Great replacement in the United States is the American version of a white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory that racial minorities are displacing the traditional white American population and taking control of the nation.
