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

Yeah, theres no point in complaining. Almost every politician is reading from the same script "we have a duty and a legal obligation to look after these people fleeing war and famine ", never a mention of economic migrants. They are never asked is there nowhere else in the whole of Africa they could move to.

Ciaran Cuddihy on Newstalk yesterday said he went to talk to protestors in Santry and came back telling stories of how he was told this was part of the great reset, that Covid was a hoax designed to kill off the indigenous population and replace them with immigrants. I saw interviews with Santry protestors who in the main were middle aged women who expressed legitimate fears of placing 300 men in a small community. Must have been off when Ciaran called and the crazies were on shift?

Like Greens flying all over the world on St paddys day junkets, a disconnect from their own rhetoric when it suits.

Joe O'Brien's comments are frightening. How did this country ever let the Greens come to power. The far-right angle taken by media heads is also mind-numbing. People talk about integrating IPA's into our culture, at this rate in two generations time it will be their culture that has to integrate us.

I haven't heard anyone ask where do IPA's 'graduate' to when asylum is approved - do they stay in the 'temporary' accommodation, rent, or get on the housing ladder? How many jobs are going in places like Inch for them? Think I read statistics that only 10% of rejections are followed through? What about the 1,000+ torn up passports? The 20+ family members asylum clause?

Population explosion was always going to be a problem here considering strain on services and housing, why are the leaders exasperating the problem?

The GP just doin what they said they would do, "bringing people in AS refugees in scale"

Surely if Ireland is full it's time to start withdrawing visas?

I mean if we can't house our own.....surely we shouldn't be taking in people from any countries?

There wasn't a massive housing issue in the 80s

He blatantly lied when saying most applicants who are served with deportation orders go home.

Complete lies which I was hoping Pat would pull him up on which he didn’t.

Imagine they're from ex British colonies who are allowed in.

They won't be able to stop the migrations and it will only get worse. The migrants will be able to move freely into Ireland too. The UK will have to cooperate with the EU to formulate a policy and plan to cope.

Still no link for your claim ''Irish people did not wan t those houses '' .

France took in 140k apparently, way less than us per head of population.

Put another way . The large number of refugees/asylum seekers coming requiring accommodation and welfare , so the money goes in that direction ..

I wonder if we would be completely alone in the world if we thought housing, especially social, should, maybe, be for our own, first.

Think you don't understand either me or the post if you think I am far left /s.

And if that is what you got from that very detailed post you really need to read a bit more .

But I suppose to those who are far right anyone remotely left of centre must be " far " left .

(Not saying you are as I have never read a post from you before this one )

Anyway am not going to explain to you now as that was being discussed a few days ago do I suggest you go back and read the thread instead of taking my post entirely out of context.

You've hit the nail on the head there ...:)

But yes it doesn't make sense .

Why are you arguing against refugees coming from , as you say in your post " countries where these minorities are treated like dirt and jailed in cases for how they live their life " ?

How do you know they have those attitudes , or are not themselves fleeing from that type of environment??

That is exactly what asylum seekers who are not fleeing from war are claiming .

So how, if you know their home country is like that , do you not understand why they are fleeing ?

No sense indeed .

I briefly flirted with the Socialist Workers Party in the late 90s. Even back then, Nazis were everywhere apparently. Nazis making a comeback was as certain as the Worker's revolution that was about to happen any day.

I thought they were nuts.
