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

Ah so now it's your turn to gloss over a pretty fundamental issue. I suppose this accommodation that unskilled IPA's can live in and pay for themselves without state assistance will fall out of the sky.

And good luck with stopping full rent out of their wages. There's plenty on more than a labourers wage that still can't afford to rent in and around the large urban areas so I dunno how you'll square that circle.

Funny you were all too busy earlier on badgering a few on here over holes in their proposals. While your own list looks like swiss cheese.

Fianna Fail have the guns out for O Gorman and McEntee at the parliamentary meeting

O’Gorman doesn’t take responsibility for that because when he was asked a specific question on the tweets his reply was that his tweets where simple summaries of the white paper.

Irish Politics = No Accountability

I’d say he is quietly relieved that McEntee is getting the heat now.

What? That non nationals can buy houses? no-one is baiting anybody, but this narrative that is being out across that all non nationals are stealing our houses, is just argumentative and not helpful.

I say he is Green HQ doing boycie style laughs with Eamon and the gang.

I dunno how I feel about this. I understand that the community in Newtownmountkennedy have been treated atrociously by the state and have reached breaking point. But I can’t help but feel sorry for the migrants here.

What I do know is that the government have f ucked up the management of this country

I’d feel the same way. it’s a **** mess. It’s going to get worse.

Govt are the real problem here, not the migrants, chancers will chance,

You might want to re read it. I pointed out twice, quite clear, in both posts that I was not suggesting that was the case with all people travelling here. Very clearly.

I'm not sure how you expect me to know how the majority of asylum seekers get here, I never suggested how anybody gets here.

if they keep treating us with contempt it will only get worse.

It's like a clowns car, god knows what else will be coming out from it

We can't blame government for people behaving like scumbags and abusing others, that's on those people themselves.

Has anyone ever answered the question as to why it's mostly only men?

Is the reason their home country is considered "an unsafe country" because there's a wife waiting there to clobber them if they come back without 7 welfare payments, a PPS number, a medical card and 7 plane tickets for the whole family back?

The questions that keep me up at night...

Men over first, then get the whole gang over in the near future, someone posted a video earlier today about their intentions.

How can we honestly say "Refugees Welcome" when in reality it's "here's a tent, enjoy sleeping on the streets of Dublin from January to April and beyond"?

And also call people who say "there's no room for these people" a bunch of racists?

If the situation here is so dire that people are being given a tent, a sleeping bag and told to get on with it then what the hell are we doing?

I am sure that some of these blokes sleeping in tents will come out the other side of this with a story of how they dragged themselves up to be contributing members of society but what about the others? What's the future for these guys? Sitting in a facility somewhere in Ireland getting government hand outs for the rest of their days?

I'd love to know what the long term plan is here. A more frightening question is, do we even have a long term plan?

How many years can this go on before the unsustainable nature of the situation becomes impossible to ignore? A thousand tents on the streets of Dublin? Ten thousand?

Could we realistically find ourselves in a situation where we have 100s of thousands of new immigrants with no place to stay and no opportunities to speak of?

We just say "refugees welcome" and look the other way?
