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

Do please enlighten dont keep us in suspense .

I recall my elderly geography teacher frequently commenting how Bangladesh was unsuitable for human habitation, due to the inevitably of catastrophic flooding and associated tropical diseases. This was before Climate Change was taken into account. However, there was no talk of the population of Bangladesh moving to Europe to escape.

Monsoonal Climates in general are doomed to either have too much or too little rain from year to year. It is a human conceit to assume the weather should behave as we expect or desire.

If the hurricane that struck the North East USA in 1938 occured today we would never hear the end of it. It would be held to up as an example of Climate Change for decades to come.

For thousands of years we adapted our ways to suit the climate. Nowadays we live the way we want to live and how dare the Climate not cooperate!

The beauty of PRSTV though is you don't have to worry about the highlighted bit. You just give your first preference to whatever candidate you feel closest to ideologically, irrespective of how likely you think they are to get elected. And as you move down the ballot paper you can take realistic options into more consideration...

Refugees and immigrants are extremely beneficial.

Ireland is a much better place now than it was in the 1950s where we were an insular theocratic backwater.

The vast majority of refugees find work and contribute to society once their application is processed. They bring food, music, culture, sporting ability and enrich our lives.

Refugees are not a burden but an opportunity - OECD

Can you provide a link the vast majority of refugees and leave to remain are working ? The 90k Ukrainian refugees and asylum seekers that have recently come will soon be working . I love your optimism .

Your link is outdated and does not mention Ireland but makes comparisons with other countries . The cost of welfare , accommodation, language and skill training is substantial in comparison to those that come legally and find employment .

Lol. Sweden sure got enriched recently until they stopped pretending everything was going great.

If we had surplus housing, a functioning healthcare system etc. then maybe we might have a chance of integrating huge amounts of refugees properly, but you are deluded if you think the current trajectory of just letting everybody in from everywhere with nowhere to put them is going to enrich anything.

No point trying to get somebody so fully onboard with this ideal to see reason though.

German bring in striker controls.

Cause and effect.

“In the first four months of 2023, some 101,981 asylum applications were filed in Germany, an increase of 78 percent from the same period in 2022.”

“The anti-migrant party is currently polling at around 15 percent, compared with 10.3 percent in the last general election in 2021.”

So the Irish improvements are down to immigration or hard work domestically by citizens across all spectra of life here ?

this unlimited policy is going to be to the detriment of Irish citizens long term. The sooner the deniers realise this the better,

We have court cases for to house people who came here with no passport and we have Leo on VM1 tonight show saying about the 78yo woman that will be homeless soon "I know the case and it is going to get worse".

VM1 still haven't uploaded the video bit I will if the don't by tomorrow evening.

So what is Musa Dogan the guy in a video on Twitter who was swinging a steel bar at people and is wanted by the authorities in other countries doing to enrich our lives I wonder?

I also wonder how he was able to enter the country in the first place?

Could it be that unvetted men are coming here and nobody is checking to see who they are?

Surely not because the left are always saying to suggest this is fake news by the far right.

People really starting to see the likes of Phillip Dwyer for the absolute gutter-scum that they are. Braindead perma-dole scumbags and scangers with nothing going on in their lives so they have to try to lash out and blame others for their wasted lives.

And that's why people like you need to be locked up.

If a camp went up on Shrewsbury Road (or any other middle to upper class environs that preach the most upon everyone else) you'd see racism from those individuals like you've never seen before.

They won't be accepting camps in their own neighbourhoods. They won't be on the streets like the scumbags, they've quiter ways of protecting their areas.

That's not how the refugee / asylum system works and would render the entire refugee system inoperable.

In fact, it would be extremely difficult to even operate a regular immigration system visa system like this (who is to say that a hotel worker or nursing home employee is less valuable to Ireland than an IT worker?).
