Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings and threadbans - updated 11/5/24*

Did you mean family reunification ? I’m presuming you did. Again, asylum seekers granted leave to remain get no automatic family reunification. That applies to people granted protection only [i.e refugees). Leave to remain is not international protection. Once again, could people please understand the terms that they are using ? Makes it much easier to have a debate.

SF want more arriving, a strategic and disingenuous long term move to gain favour and votes. To get an iron grip on the country. To properly tap into the multiple diaspora, the left and their own set.

Labour here are finished, nobody is listening to them..7 Dàil seats out of the 160 are Labour TDs. 4.38%…they mean at this stage practically nothing to the Irish voter… nothing even to the left.

For all the parties we have, there are no reasonable alternatives….nobody is even willing to debate or even recognise the documented concerns of citizens, we who pay them to represent us, our interests and wellbeing... no calling for compromise ? Alternate solutions ?

can a zero policy not be instead a policy to limit the numbers ? Yes there are implications on our EU membership but look, the EU as it stands is fûcked. British gone and Italy next to say bye bye. The core is being ripped from the EU by its policies…. It’s no longer working for the EU citizens. No longer prioritizing its paymasters.

temporary protection is BS… most of us knew this from word go…nothing temporary. A bundle of lies from the get go.

Italy, Greece, Poland and France are according to the bookies to be the next countries out.

I can see the whole thing coming down like a house of cards in the next say 15 years.

get back border control… accept refugees yes… limit them yes.

I don't know if this is real but is seems to be posted in Russian. Very odd.?

People need to think about this stuff before they vote. Okay immigration was not a major issue in the last general election, and most of the parties were not talking about it a lot in the campaign. But were any of them indicating they would pursue restrictive policies if they got into government? Okay nobody could have foreseen the Ukranian exodus, but I don't see any good reason to expect the parties of government to have handled it much differently to how they have.

This is the best recent post, laying out the issues unemotionaly.

MEANWHILE we have out of touch Ministers such as O'BRIEN openly stating we need to prepare to take in another 80,000 this year when we can't accommodate the existing asylum seekers, never mind have remotely enough school places or hospital beds or guards or you name it....

There should be limits. Even asylum seekers and refugees that came here often state the same thing, after they arrive.

About 1200 migrants were recently rescued from Italian waters. The story is they set sail from Libya or Tunisia. Is that credible? Could they have really unaided traversed the entire Mediterranean sea?

Laying out fake figures 🤣

There should be loads of supporters opening up their homes and back gardens for the homeless asylum seekers that they are encouraging to come here.
