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

This has been a known practice in Ukraine since USSR times, so I am afraid I cannot claim this was my genius idea:)

The fact is, DSP is unable to introduce a basic means test for Ukrainians, the way it exists for any other recipients of social welfare so I cannot see CAB having any interest is any of this if the government isn't interested to begin with.

Well such a party would first have to overcome the minor hurdle of not existing before 'becoming mainstream', let alone getting into power...

Well anything is theoretically possible. A meteor could strike the earth tomorrow and wipe out all human life.

But posters like grumpyperson seem to be using the supposed threat of "a party like afd becoming mainstream in Ireland" to pressure the established political parties to change their policies on immigrants and refugees and this just won't work because those parties don't believe the 'threat' is real and they have enough pressing real-world problems to deal with before they start addressing remote hypotheticals.

While I don't know very much at all about the AdF party in Germany, I do think we should have a similar option here. Not because I agree with them mind, but for the sake of having the democratic option.

We see the state of democratic choice in the US and UK being a sort of Uni-Party: a permanent state, managerial class with deep connections to the MIC. Would rather avoid that if possible.

Looking at videos of leftwing cities and the rampant crime so bad major store chains are closing down and leaving is far more concerning than the orange boogie man. The left have lost all credibility with their current policies. Defunding the police was always a stupid idea and the consequences are being felt.

The right wing are in power in Italy, just missed out France (will breeze in next time) and at levels never seen the Germany since the end of the Second World War. Even the Nordics have woken up.

Here’s a tip, when the migrants are all young men from regions of the world with backwards views then it won’t work, who know bad ideas are not left at the border. The left have brought this on themselves.

The UK has had a right wing government for the last 13 years, backed by a heavily right wing (and clearly racist) tabloid press. What's gone wrong?

IPAS report for October

1382 arrivals for the month - maintaining the trend of continued growth in numbers month on month.

Arrivals are increasing not decreasing

204 incidents requiring Gardaí or ambulance in the month. Great additional pressure to add to our strained emergency services.

124 requests for family reunification

Potatoeman seemed to be talking about 'right wing' primarily in the sense of cracking down on immigration. Liitle sign FG are going to go down that road...

Under Leo and Helen they are no longer right wing, their main driving philosophy is whatever will get them a pat on the head from Brussels.

Was just watching a video about New York, their migrant crisis has gotten so bad that they've limited stays in accommodation to 30 days and are now offering plane tickets to whoever wants to leave. You would hope the crisis being so close to the UN's headquarters will make them realise how broken the asylum system is worldwide and how its abused by economic migrants.

No reporting on this from govt mouthpieces Irish Times and RTE, colour me shocked

Even if it did slip through the cracks and reach national attention, you can bet the coverage would only consist of the need to educate all the godforsaken men born and raised in this country to treat women with respect. F*cking shambles

And there's talk that any new welfare cap for Ukrainians will not be retrospective i.e. will only apply to future arrivals. Talk about turkeys voting for Xmas. What do they pay policy advisers for? Utterly clueless.
