What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Actually, I disagree. While we do need to enforce deportation orders, we shouldn't jump to the extremes. Yes, closing our borders is an extreme.. it's also incredibly foolish, because it would alienate the nation.. a nation that heavily relies on foreign companies, and foreign investors.

Asylum, and granting refugees a safe place to live, simply needs to be handled better. Not cancelled completely. The problem is the entitlement culture that has developed, along with the expectation that the help provided should be extended forever. It shouldn't. Asylum seekers and refugees should simply be extended a 3 year visa to establish themselves, and to get the funds or education needed to become self-sufficient. After that period, their visa is cancelled, and they would apply here or elsewhere as a normal economic migrant seeking employment and a place to live. Any period in Asylum or refugee should not count towards the requirement of a citizenship application.

Immigration needs to be overhauled and regulated better. The schemes of other countries such as visas being tied to the employer/employment works well. Lose their job, they're given a short timeframe to find new work sponsor. Otherwise they are required to leave, or face deportation. Simple enough, and is common throughout the world. Make the employers financially and legally responsible for their foreign employees.. and on top of that, place all migrants on a reviewable/accountable parole/probationary status, whereby any behaviour which runs counter to our laws or values, results in deportation.

None of this needs to be all that complicated.

But we shouldn't jump to the extremes in reacting to all this. Badly thought out policies and feel-good measures have brought us to this situation. Some common sense, and moderate thinking is what's needed. Let's leave the bleeding hearts out of it.. but so too, leave the isolationists out of it too.

Unfortunately it doesn't come naturally to women to think clearly and logically without their emotions getting involved, particularly in relation to migrant issues. They often overreact to the crisis like Merkel did, by point blank ripping up all the rules on an emotional whim. Then when the consequences were apparent several months later, she tried to push the problem on to others. When that didn't work she led a very dirty and expensive deal with Turkey to act as security guards for Europe.

They simply don't have the required ruthlessness when it comes to this issue. The exception to all of this, of course, is mothers protecting their children. In those situations women are at their absolute best. Unflinching, and willing to sacrifice themselves for their children.

The Scandis are hopeless on this

We have too many NGOs to possibly keep track of. No oversight on how our money is spent.

Chop them ruthlessly, deport illegals, control our borders and spend the billions saved on housing and infrastructure.

The midlands are quickly turning into a dumping ground for anyone the government wants to forget about.. You'd think they'd take one look at a town like Longford and recognise that such infusions of foreign population doesn't work very well, without the infrastructure in place to receive, and manage them. Now they want to do the same to Kinnegad. Which is a strange choice since it's more of a stopover, rather than a town capable of easily taking in such numbers.
