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

It's not merely a few cases of violence though. If you counted it all up its easily in the hundreds.

Answered already To another poster.

Agree with you on Rabbitte, barely got in last time and will probably retire on her big pension now that she has her 2 terms done and dusted.

🤣...

Again @treemasteryou have been paying attention to my posts.! I discussed this over the last few days, and the issue was not immigration but lack of integration. You need to try harder.

Links posted to back up everything.( Happy to repost it all again for everyone else to read.)

Unlike your posts which just spread anti immigration and pro far right rhetoric.

Even condoning violence as seen by your replies to another poster, to get what you want.

No problem with majority of people having opinions, only with those that propose hatred and violence to get what they want.

I don't think by any stretch there have even been a massive amount of people protesting although that will change if the government don't take on board people 's views.

But thats how we operate in this country, (don' t you know that?) peacefully, in the main.

The only violent protests have been those infiltrated and orchestrated by Far Right thugs.

A few bad apples indeed? So these thugs would not have been acting with direction from those higher up?

I would say the hatred in you is far stronger.

What is your argument 'all asylum seekers are criminals '?

And 15 thanks, from other racist posters.

Perhaps you could explain your statement about asylum seekers moving next door to your daughter and why you wouldn't be happy about it?

Direct Provision while not perfect did provide this protection for genuine Asylum seekers. The policy we have now is attracting fraudulent asylum claims from across Europe. We don't see people in lorries as we are not on the frontier.

1500 applicants have presented in Dublin Airport in 4 months alone this year with either false or no documents.

These are the people being moved to the centres. Most of the Asylum application will either go into limbo or be rejected.

With the Ukraine situation our intake is up 960% from last year.

Due to Geography Ireland should be in a good position to successfully integrate a controlled number of genuine Asylum cases. Instead we are in this position where Ireland is now a prime destination for asylum fraud from economic migrants and the system and services supporting it have crumbled. This is why the member of EU council chastised the government this week.

No. They lose any rights to legitimate voice once they resort to intimidation and violence or condone it.

Those mindless thugs did not act alone. That attack in Sandwith Street was planned and orchestrated by unseen Far Right chiefs.

They have since proudly taken responsibility for it.

If people want legitimacy it goes both ways or not at all.

Edit. Note, I do not use quotation marks when describing these people as Far Right There is no reason to do that except you are trying to infer that they are not a real grouping.

There is a difference between Right Wing and Far Right as I think you know. .

Again you are conflating people with legitimate concerns who may hold right wing views , with the Far Right groups who have carried out violence against asylum seekers in this country .

2 distinct groups .

Majority of people who hold right wing views have nothing to do with the Far Right . . Included would be most of those people in that poll and others who are not right wing but like myself feel we have lost control of our immigration . So it's a misnomer to say that 75% of the electorate hold right wing views .

The Far Right who are a small vicious group spreading hate and advocating violence against asylum seekers are not representative of the majority of the people with right wing views at all .

All the rest of your post has nothing to do with that point . Just flannel .

It has all been discussed by myself and lots of other posters here long before you registered to post on this thread yesterday . And will after you have gone into the ether no doubt .

But you are trying to hijack those legitimate concerns and use them to try to bolster support for the Far Right .

Tell me which group are you an activist for...Irish Freedom Party , The National Party or further afield maybe , National Action ?

From that Sunday Business Post poll, it seems most SF voters don't really understand the ideology of the very party they support. Expecting it to be hard line on immigration and refugees is baffling stuff....almost as if they view it as (or think it should be) some form of right wing Irish nationalist party, rather than a left wing (or centre left) one.

-deleted cos Im still banned for whatever reason

Put them in a floatel that doesnt let them off until their claim is heard.

And crucially invest in way more staff and reducing time for a decision.
