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

its shocking how bad the media and opposition are. So afraid to be called a racist, they won't even ask genuine, common sense questions.

All of course topped off by a country of nodding dogs. I really despair where this country is going.

Growing again but its ok cause the do gooders believe we are saving the world

Reducing immigration is about the best possible housing policy right now

First thing a plumber does when a house floods is turn off the water supply

With respect to Nigeria, it is arguably one country that we do have some responsibility for. For several decades, we exported our excess religious to Africa and Nigeria in particular. The campaign to save the 'black babies', to feed, educate and to convert them to Catholicism. The likes of St Patrick's Missionary Society aka Kiltegan Fathers & similar Missions sent many Irish priests and nuns to Nigeria. There were collections at church gates to support the missions to Africa. Hence why you wouldn't wonder too much when you come across a Nigerian lady called Philomena or Concepta. Having converted these people to our ways from their culture, we do have some responsibility.

But as for Syrians, Afghans, Brazilians, Georgians, Moroccans etc etc - no, away with them.

If anyone were to cite a religion as the cause of some of Nigeria's problems it sure as hell wouldn't be Catholicism. Who do you think causes greater unrest, an order of nuns or Boko Haram?

What parties do you think we should consider in any upcoming elections?

You're the one claimed we had some sort of legacy there and by extension a greater obligation to accept Nigerians

I think it's a spurious claim

We arguably have a great degree of responsibility towards Nigerians than say Moroccans or Algerians. Put bluntly, we 'colonised' Nigerian minds and steered them away from their own culture & beliefs. Morally that does put us on the hook in part to Nigeria.

How can the population grow if most of the people that are coming here are male? unless they somehow manage to get their spouses and children over here from the 'war' they fled maybe then they'll contribute to population growth and put extra burdens on the state. I doubt most of the these men who are coming here have wives and children in their homeland, wherever that is.

Our tourism industry is indeed decimated and I fear it will never recover as the issue is far greater than the current shortage of hotel beds. Many people come to Ireland for the craic and the culture but as word gets out of the extent to which the country has changed, they will soon start thinking twice about spending their hard earned to experience sights and sounds more akin to Islamabad or Mogadishu.

It is a fact that the population of Western Europe is in decline. It's also a fact that we are becoming increasingly secular and with that, more than ever following our own free will. Literally reseeding Europe may be in some people's interests, particularly if the new arrivals are fervently religious, meaning they and their offspring may be more easily manipulated and controlled.

Either that or it's extreme white guilt. Our leaders, like the cuckold husband who gets off on seeing his missus with another man, are getting their kicks from encouraging other cultures to take over the nest. Oh how they will orgasm in a few years when the Irish slip into minority status.

Costs. Cost of living hitting all time high and having kids.

Suppose when the government subsidies the newcomers and houses them. Easier have kids aint it.

Jack Chambers, our newly minted Minister for Finance was interviewed by RTE this morning. Initially he was asked about the problem arising in the IPAS system whereby people get their 'papers' but who can't or won't move out of state provided accommodation. That what was to be done if they were evicted and end up on streets.

Jacks answer? The local authorities must look after them, like they look after social housing generally. He was allowed to state this twice without any attempt at a follow up question as to how LAs / County Councils were going to do this. Just who will be taken off the LAs existing housing lists, who will be pushed down the list so as to accommodate these arrivals?? The RTE journalist disgracefully neglected to ask the obvious questions arising - presumably to avoid addressing the potentially incendiary consequence of Irish people being demoted down housing lists to suit Jack & O'Gorman's agendas.
