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

It certainly makes me think who controls the headlines though. Pre-empting a reply about that being a 'conspiracy theory', it isn't. This was demonstrably obvious during the lack of polls after Peter Casey said a few mild home truth's about our nomadic friends in the 2018 PE - This was all the proof I needed to smell a very large rat

Part of the government's new strategy on migration will include a "fresh" communication plan that will outline Ireland’s “fair” immigration system. That's great n'nall but this is what popped out at me.....

Ireland's 2040 plan is already in motion. The “pyramid scheme” to enrich investors by adding consumers at taxpayers’ expense, and as a globalist program to “replace” the native population via mass immigration. If you haven't read it, do. It's like reading a eulogy prior to a death.

As the number of international migrants reaches new highs, people around the world show little appetite for more migration – both into and out of their countries, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 27 nations conducted in the spring of 2018.

• Across the countries surveyed, a median of 45% say fewer or no immigrants should be allowed to move to their country, while 36% say they want about the same number of immigrants. Just 14% say their countries should allow more immigrants. (Those who said no immigrants should be allowed volunteered this response.)
• In Europe, majorities in Greece (82%), Hungary (72%), Italy (71%) and Germany (58%) say fewer immigrants or no immigrants at all should be allowed to move to their countries.”

But where is the story? A couple of hundred people protesting in Ballinrobe and another couple of hundred protesting in Roscrea is hardly something that has the entire nation gripped and talking of little else (two towns that most people in Ireland have probably never even set foot in or could find on a map).

You put up a post a while back that had the average number of family members each asylum seeker repatriated when given the nod to stay here.

Much obliged if you could post it again. I gave up googling trying to sift through quango after quangos website!

It will only be off the agenda if people stop arriving and there is no need to open new centres in small towns.

How likely is that?

Surge planning in 4 A&Es around the the country today. Not blaming migrants for it in any way shape or form but it just backs up your point on how far can we actually stretch at the expense of our own citizenry and legal contributors to society.

Imagine some Paddy from Ballygobackwards rocking up to Zimbabwe with no passport etc ...then spouting some bullshit sob story... and then going on local TV complaining about the inherent racism of the locals for not providing free housing, welfare etc in double quick time. The locals would probably lynch Paddy ...and they'd be right.

No councillor will be either. If they are they will not only get elected again they will likely get elected to the Dail… look at Verona Murphy…

The makeup of the new Dail will surely have a huge amount of independent TDs many of whom will be for stopping this madness. A further plus is there will be a serious cull in the upper ranks of FF and FG. Hopefully Greens consigned to the do not recycle bin.

No, the thread is hating the irresponsible and destructive open door immigration policy which resulted in a mass influx of unskilled economic migrants posing as asylum seekers. Also, there is the hating of all the problems that come with mass immigration i.e. dramatic demographic changes and undue pressure on housing healthcare and education systems, crime and terrorism and last but not least, third world culture.

Ah come on Robbie - I know you are not stupid - you’re implying it of course!

Again I’ll ask have you any serious ideas or suggestions on how to sort this?

What I always find interesting about these polls is that they never actually ask the question in the reverse. What I mean by that is, why is the question never: "Should emigration be banned?".People on here treat us to their endless worry and misery over the horrifying vista of migrants and "becoming a minority in our own country".

So why don't we lead by example then? Ban Irish people from leaving the country — don't let them head off into the world and form networks and relationships with foreigners. Keep our best and brightest for ourselves right? Banning emigration means Irish people stay here, procreate here, and we shall

Actually, why stop there? While we are at it, let's ban marriage between Irish people and foreigners. Keeps the bloodlines pure and prevents outsiders getting security through marriage doesn't it?

If its truly the huge problem that it is then why don't we lead the way? Why don't we show the world how great ending migration is by being a first world country that bans it for its own citizens. And with the stunning results we will achieve, the entire world will follow suit.

Who's with me? Nobody I imagine.

Well then you haven't read the thread properly. Of course it's not all down to Roderic O'G and his tweets - that's facile. However we are an island with an internal border and quite capable of managing who arrives if we wish and that's the key thing. There is no will to tackle the growing issue. And Roderic is part of that - it's his gig, he wanted it.
