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

What happens/ happened to anyone claiming not to have a passport on the tarmac?

I think they are put back on the plane they arrived in.

All government and main opposition parties advocated for a Yes Yes vote in the referendums and the public returned a resounding No. Mary Lou already on record saying she’d re-run both on the back of a no vote if SF are in power next term!

All government and main opposition parties are in agreement with current immigration policy despite the latest opinion poll showing that the vast majority (84%) of the public are dissatisfied with what’s going on.

Has there ever been a more out of touch parliament in this country?

If there wasn’t mass panic in FG, FF and SF headquarters before yesterday you’ll be damn sure there is now. The local elections are going to be very, very interesting to put it mildly.

My local SF councillor is stepping away from politics and on her way out the door has advocated for people to vote for the Independent Ireland candidate in the summer. There’s going to be a huge amount of these candidates elected along with independents, farmers alliance etc.

It’s frightening how out of touch Leo, MM, Eamonn Ryan and Mary Lou are. with the vast majority of the electorate.

Unfortunately not. The door checks might be somewhat of a deterrent but most chancers will get to enter Ireland and start the claim/appeal scam.

If anything the numbers arriving will increase this year.

At this stage, these small changes to handling arrivals are not going to do much to improve things.

Only legislative and policy changes and improved technology in immigration is what's needed.

The government is going to have make Nigeria a safe country .The majority are just coming from the UK and still get to stay despite the false claims . The projected rise in asylum claims is 18k this year expect more on the streets .

The dubious companies and directors behind asylum seeker accommodation. Wealth Options Trust was part of a property scam that duped Irish investors it was connected to Dolphin Trust a pyramid scheme that went bankrupt.

Anyone can come to Ireland claim asylum get benefits and stay it's wonderful.They should be delighted a record number will come this year .They need to take in a few stop mouthing and jumping around with banners .

There is a difference when Irish go abroad they have to work. Still the naive persist .

Here are some things we need to do:

• Increase the number of countries that require visitor visas to come here, as I previously discussed at length and gave examples of the effectiveness of this measure.
• Refuse to accept national identity cards as a means of passing immigration controls. Passports only. This would prevent people coming here on fake EU ID cards (very often used) and then claiming asylum. Work with airlines so that they change their own boarding policies accordingly.
• Increase the fines issued to airlines for allowing people to get off flights without documents or without required visas. Currently, I think it's around 1,500 euro per passenger. Should be ten times this.
• As a matter of routine, charge people who show up with no documents.
• Greater monitoring of the airports so that we can immediately spot people who are attempting to destroy documents, and so that we know where they came from.
• Invest in technology to help airlines and immigration officers identify fake documents. I know airline staff have very little training in this regard.
• Door checks on absolutely every flight coming from the most common routes for undocumented arrivals.
• A tough crackdown on people traffickers who are accompanying undocumented immigrants and teaching them how to come here, what to say when they arrive, what to do with their documents etc. Many of these people are naturalised Europeans who have been through the asylum scam process themselves.
• Huge changes to naturalisation requirements. Advanced English required to be an Irish citizen. At least five years of work and paying taxes required. Absolutely nobody should be given citizenship after just three years.
• Completely do away with the vague "permission to remain" category that failed asylum seekers are often awarded.

I agree with all the above, however the most important of all is a criteria of common sense.

If I for some reason had to flee Ireland in the morning, I'd go to the UK as it's the closest country that I speak the language, or Germany because my family is German. I wouldn't go to Laos or Mauritania. The same should be enforced here, if you're coming from Nigeria, Tunis or Cambodia, you should be sent back. There are plenty of safe countries after leaving any african, middle eastern, or south american or asian country before you reach Ireland. Therefore the only reason these people are coming here is to benefit from our overtly generous social welfare state.

The free for all needs to end now, it’s gone beyond a piss take at this stage 

80+% of asylum seekers flying into the state claim to have no documents and the majority are arriving from designated safe countries

We’ve been *way* too soft touch in controlling this, and this is the result. It helps nobody. 

Between Roderic inviting the world to claim their free houses and Helen just choosing not to apply our immigration laws you’ve the makings of this colossal shitshow.

A well earned legacy for dumb and dumber. 

As night follows day with this Idealogy , Dublin streets are turning into an open sewer.

I don’t know Dublin but would that be the city centre, tourist area?

Where do they go when the need the toilet?

Varadkar over in the US stating how 'St Patrick was a migrant to Ireland - a single, male, undocumented one'.

Purposely conflating illegal economic migrants pretending to be asylum seekers and those fleeing to Western countries with similar cultures and values, in a totally different era, and to a developing world in its infancy. Those with an IQ about room temperature know all of this of course.

I'll you's read on. He is truly an out-n-out west-brit parasite.

How many times must people prove this argument to be false? It's unintelligent as the open border mantra "there is only one race, the human race". I think he's upset.

I saw the headline and thought it was satire

Better still just open the border .
