Immigration to Ireland - policies, challenges, and solutions *Read OP before posting*

Huh? Where did I mention the UK?

Will I have to repeat my posts again?

Does the fact that Ireland is NOT in Schengen make a difference here and if so, how?

Suvigirl, who do you think is making decisions on immigration from outside of the EU then?

Please, do enlighten us!

Life is too short to try debate with some.

Especially when they will try drag you off in a tangent or try argue about things you never said in the first place.

The big reason for often debating in this manner is because certain viewpoints cannot stand up to scrutiny when looked at objectively.

Welcoming in unskilled uneducated young men that need housing, education, healthcare all paid for out of the public purse is economic lunacy.

It is like the argument earlier that the now use of unwanted housing and unwanted hotels for these asylum seekers is seen as good, when in reality it is just draining taxpayers funds away from legitimate areas such as healthcare, education, elderly care and much needed public infrastructure to counter climate change.

To make matters worse these asylum seekers often come from backgrounds that are diametrically opposite to that of the people of this country and they require integration services to try make them compatible, but often they don't want to integrate.

And then to top it off we simply do not have the physical accommodation resources to cope with this.

So if one was to look at this logically you would say you have to be special to belief the current system is anyway sane.

It is lunacy on a gigantic scale.

Are you able to read my previous posts, because I am starting to belief that you can’t… ???

I really can’t spell it any clearer, without repeating myself: I am NOT against immigration per se, but…. see my post above.

I haven’t mentioned the UK in any way at all! Why would you jump to such conclusions?!

But it seems that you have a habit of doing this.

By the way - the Schengen Visa has nothing to do with the current immigration to Ireland.

It wasn’t me who mentioned Schengen - it was your good self.

Apparently, you really think that Leo, Michael, Eamon and their posse have solely decided - on behalf of the Irish people ( or else for their own future job prospects, who knows?) - to let unlimited numbers of unskilled and often unvetted immigrants into Ireland - and all of this without ANY input of the other EU leaders?

Are you serious?!

All of a sudden it makes sense, that you wouldn’t see a problem with (a hypothetical number of) 100 male IPAs being dumped into a rural area of a few hundred ppl, with nothing to do all day.

Whats wrong with you? Honestly Attack, attack, attack is all you can do.

No one is against LEGAL immigration. Do you not get that ?

Why do you keep asking me questions after I already stated my opinion?

You simply seem to have an issue with my opinion, but it won’t change even if you ask me about it a thousand times!

This is also most certainly not the way to have an adult exchange on this topic.

I won’t answer any other silly question from you, because I rather spend my time doing other things.

Just read my posts and you’ll find the answer.

God speed, Suvigirl.

Asylum seekers are legal immigrants. Do YOU not get that?

Not really no, alot of asylum seekers are economic migrants

Are people fingerprinted when they claim international protection here (when they have their documents destroyed)

I see a case of a Moroccan,Soufiane Mountassir, caught beating a woman in town. He got 3 years. But was wanted in Germany for arson.

No mention if he will be automatically deported afterwards. Surely a conviction of this sort voids their asylum application. No documents, violence towards a woman and arson?

Yes, they are fingerprinted and photographed on application.

Yes. That criminal conviction will avoid his asylum application. Legally

But surely something should have flagged if he had a warrant out for arson from Germany?

No. Asylum seekers are legally entitled to seek asylum. They are legal.

If their claim is accepted, they are refugees. Also legal.

There’s been all kinds of things posted on this thread. Fear-mongering about the Irish becoming a minority in their own country. One poster claiming that we are heading for an islamic majority state. Concerns over our culture been diluted. Someone the other day was absolutely heartbroken about something, I forget what now, but I’m certain it wasn’t just limited to “illegal” migration. There’s also been plenty of posts about Ukraine refugees, all of whom are here legally. So I’m not buying this “no one is against legal immigration” line, because what has been posted throughout this thread suggests otherwise.

I have no interest in re-hashing this. I was just using it as.an example.

Also, non nationals in Ireland are not one homogenous bloc but comprise multiple nationalities, languages, ethnicities and religions.

Where do you live?

I live in west Dublin and yes we are being watered down and those who are still here in 30 years time will be in a minority

when I visit places down the country or in well do do areas in the city it might as well not be happening

So if I was from those areas I would think this is working out fine
