A theoretical re-allocation of EU migrants
“Wir schaffen das”, when it comes to re-migrating (or I like to call it re-allocating) the unadapted migrants of Europe.
If there is such a thing, I leave that in the middle.
The idea here is to explore the possibility of a real-life setup for a re-allocating solution for migrants and fake/real asylum seekers in Europe in case the political decision would be made to do so.
Because most of the migrants, want to stay, and most of them are apparently non-desirable for all kinds of reasons (partly socially, security wise (many murders and incidents) and partly from a religious standpoint).
A theoretical re-allocation of EU migrants
Editorial note:
This piece is a thought experiment, not a political statement. The aim is to examine the practical feasibility of large-scale reallocation of migrants in Europe, independent of ideology. By analyzing logistics, we can better understand both the challenges and possibilities of such scenarios.
Reallocation as a concept
When politicians or movements speak of “remigration,” this usually implies deportation. On the opposite side, other groups actively push for more immigration and defend newcomers regardless of social consequences. This article sidesteps the political debate and looks only at the logistics: what would it take, in practice, to relocate large groups of people from Europe back to sub-Saharan Africa if such a decision were made?
A Maglev solution
Instead of slow or small-scale methods (planes, trucks, boats), a high-capacity Maglev train system could serve as an industrial solution. The idea: connect Spain to sub-Saharan Africa with a dedicated four-lane line (two outgoing, two incoming). Trains would travel continuously at 230–250 km/h, each carrying 700–850 passengers depending on configuration. With optimized loading and unloading, one loop could transport around 8,800 people per day. About 12 trains for each round-loop pair of maglev tracks. Two loops (four tracks total) could handle roughly 17,600 passengers daily this way, or more than 500,000 per month. Even factoring in maintenance and operational limits, a steady flow of 300,000–500,000 people per month is feasible.
Timeframe and infrastructure
Building such a line would take 2–3 years with existing engineering expertise, using knowledge from Asia’s high-speed systems. Electricity supply could rely on solar in the desert regions. Platforms at both ends would use Y-shaped split terminals for efficient simultaneous loading and unloading.
After arrival
At the endpoint, new sub-Saharan settlements could be developed with basic infrastructure (water, housing, power), financed initially by Europe. With incentives and microcredits, such hubs could become self-sustaining communities—or fail, depending on local dynamics.
This would stimulate local economies through employment in construction and agriculture, and with microcredits as an extra boost, it would become a self-sustaining hub that contributes to regional stability. Or it could become a cesspool of violence and destruction. The nice part is, that they have a new start, and they can choose their destiny, over there.
The key point: the logistical relocation itself is technically possible.
Conclusion
Europe has received millions of migrants since 2014, while current deportation systems handle only ~200,000 per year—making large-scale “remigration” nearly impossible with existing tools. A dedicated Maglev system could accelerate capacity 20–25 times, moving half a million people monthly.
While political and ethical challenges remain immense, the infrastructure and logistics are, at least in theory, within reach.
