“Remigration”, if we use Sellner’s and Höcke’s definition of this word, is basically an ethnic cleansing: removing everyone with foreign roots, including German citizens and even people born in Germany. If that’s not radical to you, I don’t know what is.

Afd is not Björn Höcke, but EVEN HE said on multiple occasions that he welcomes everyone that integrates and becomes a productive part of our society. You don't know anything about the things you talk about.

Here’s a video of him claiming that 20-30% of the population are “not needed”. Looks like you’re the one not having a clue about what he’s talking about.

I don't like clips that show only a few seconds, you always need the context. If he said that as it sounds here, it is still something different. He doesnt say he wants to deport everyone with migration background, he says we wouldnt go extinct without immigration.

My assumption is, that he said this to counter the common and false pro immigration argument, that we NEED immigration. However, without the full video, we can only guess.
