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

'We must be able to protect our borders and decide who we wish to allow in and how many individuals will be granted asylum or the right to remain'

We do.

What I find odd also is that these people seem blame Ireland far more than countries they are coming from

350 people from Pakistan died in that awful tragedy few weeks ago.

Why aren't people asking serious questions of Pakistan and demanding answers from them?

But instead blame a island half way across the world where culture is totally different.

It's all Irelands fault.

Yes, that is my opinion, that most people in Ireland are not anti -foreigners, I don't believe the majority of people in Ireland are racist. Do you have proof that they are or something?

Well that's not what my post you quoted said. It said I don't believe most people in Ireland are anti foreigner, that's my opinion.

Do you have proof the majority are racist?

Did you actually read that article?

I don't see anything in it that suggests there is something wrong with England. Perhaps you could point it out?

There was one conflict. Involving a few hundred Hindu men and Muslim men. A public order incident if you like.

Not out of the ordinary by any stretch of the imagination.

'On September 20, Hindu and Muslim religious leaders issued a joint statement, describing Hindus and Muslims as “a family” who share a city that is “a beacon of diversity and community cohesion”. It echoed the increasingly popular explanation that the trouble was instigated by outsiders, bolstered by media reports that eight of the 18 people arrested on September 18, 2022 did not reside in Leicestershire.

“We together call upon the inciters of hatred to leave our city alone,” the joint statement said. “Leicester has no place for any foreign extremist ideology that causes division.”'

Not exactly an everyday occurrence in that particular city.

I don't know how you can get away with saying there is something wrong with England based on one, out of the ordinary, public order incident? Unless you are one of those people that just hate England and everything about it?

Also, is there some suggestion that any of the people involved in the public order incident are refugees?

I'm actually not very worried about climate change, on a personal level. It will cause mass immigration from certain parts of the world.

Riots in France are regular occurrence, the French like to demonstrate. This particular incident is about police shooting dead a 17 year old boy.

Now, can anyone please explain why posters are somehow trying to shoehorn riots and public order incidents into an anti refugee agenda?

I neither want nor don't want mass immigration. Immigration is going to happen. It is what it is and I'm fine with immigration.

This thread is about refugees.

''All migrants are economic migrants '' so does that include refugees or are you mixed up again ?

Wrong.

We are not protecting our borders by allowing everyone in.

Watch Australian border control programs. Thats what you call controlling our borders.

We should of course reach out and take in a certain % of refugees who are displaced in UN camps eg. Syrians, Afgans. We should take only the number we can accomodate, we can't take everyone.

But the state needs to discourage the influx of people flying in from safe countries with lost passports.

I believe that the majority of citizens of this country would agree with this view.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas is staying in The Marker Hotel or The Gibson Hotel and will be on First Dates Ireland

People don't just move for economic reasons, that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, truly idiotic. How daft are you to think there is one and only one reason for people to emigrate.

eco·nom·ic mi·grant

[economic migrant]

NOUN

1. a person who travels from one country or area to another in order to improve their standard of living.

I would imagine most people emigrate to improve their standard of living, or else, what's the point?

________________________________________________________________________

other refugees coming to Ireland and they are primarily adult males from North African and Middle-Eastern nations, who as mentioned several times are not refugees but in fact illegal economic migrants.

No, they are not refugees. They are asylum seekers. And what is an illegal economic migrant? A made up term that means nothing.

there are certain parts of England and even France, Belgium, Germany, and Sweden where areas are so dangerous that even law enforcement don't go to them areas

completely untrue, there are no areas that law enforcement do not enter.

And I have never misconstrued your words, nor have I ever insulted and abused you, perhaps you could give me the same respect.

Clearly you have well-developed arguments on the matter.
