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

We're not tbh, we're buying whatever tale they weave.

So you still can't stand over what you're suggesting?

How are we going to have these 'mass deportations'? According to you they're absolutely vital but yet again you can't give the first indication of how they might work, when no other country has been able to achieve anything like this.

This just typifies the populist anti-immigration approach.

You scream 'open-borders' when anyone challenges your approaches, yet you've no defense for how your own failed solutions have achieved nothing but to waste hundreds of billions, leave tens of thousands dead, and leave so many other women and children raped and exploited.

I think the tide is turning. I think decent people have had enough of this. There is a conversation to be had around immigration, but one which won't be dictated by those demanding we carry on with this cruel, failed, horror show.

If you are just going to ignore the contents of the response - why do you keep responding? Clearly the level of conversation is beyond you.

You are just rambling at this point. Yes the tide is turning, thankfully away from you.

I think they have setup around there before, I refuse to believe they are finding these locations themselves. What I think happens is those pesky far right people attack the people in the camp as the police nor government try move the campsites on and then all of sudden the media and far left people (who I may add, dont seem to offer up their houses or gardens for these tents) kick of saying its disgraceful how these people are treated and everyone is racist

Yep probably. I believe she had Frances Fitzgerald as a supporter and that is what made Harris keep her in position. As we know Harris was Fitzgeralds teaboy. Still having such an incompetent Justice minister like McEntee has taken a lot of the blame away from O'Gorman and allowed him to hide away.

What do you mean by existing ferries though? Ferries that are on the way to Europe already and should offer people a lift?

They can use existing ferries, similar to how they use an airplane, they buy a ticket and get on the ferry or is that you want them to be able to rock up to the Ferry terminal and say "I am looking to go to Ireland is alright if I jump on there, I have no ticket and my passport was eaten by my dog" and the Ferry company say "ah sure hop on there".

Yep, there is both a primary school and secondary school there.

Hard to spin a nearly 100% increase in asylum seekers arriving in the first 6 months other than "word's out, soft touch"

Depends which non-EU country they're from. Not all non-EU nationals require visas before boarding. Brazilians don't for example. Indians do. Pakistanis do. Nigerians do. US citizens don't.

But just to get this straight; you're suggesting that we eliminate pre-authorised visitor visa requirements for all countries where such requirements do exist?

e.g. do you want to remove visitor visa requirements for Bolivians? Because would cause a massive influx of Bolivians arriving as "tourists" but overstaying their visas and living here illegally or using Ireland as a back door to live illegally in Europe as happened before. Is this OK? Or are we just eliminating visitor visas for African countries like Nigeria and South Africa to facilitate the movement of asylum seekers from there? Should we remove visitor visa requirements for El Salvador and such? How do we decide which ones to remove if everyone in the world is entitled to claim asylum?

While we're at it, do you also think that people from anywhere in the world should be able to rock up to any port and state they're heading to Ireland to seek asylum and then the airline/ferry company should waive all fees and let them board the flight (or bill the IRish government?) . After all, cost is going to inhibit travel too - who's funding this mass influx of asylum seekers (both genuine and not genuine) and how easy should we make it for them?

Tell us more.

Yes NGOs are telling them where to go to get the most attention and speed up the process of accommodation

Plenty of space there though and some prestigious lodgings in the park too.

Does anyone know how the disicion is made as to who gets to stay, is it the staff in the IPO that deside?

This whole thing about government funded ferries picking people up is entirely a figment of your imagination.

The day after Labour were elected, the UK Border Force brought these lads in on a boat (twitter link is borked on this site for some reason).

These ones came shortly before that (providing this because boards.ie can seemingly no longer link to Twitter anymore).

This is a video from Sky News just a few days ago which has video footage of the UK Border Force ferrying migrants to the UK. The exact thing that you claim to refute as a figment of the imagination.

People try to be constructive in their engagements with you, but the outrageous lies and disinformation that spill out of your mouth never seems to end.

There's also a counter protest in the same location.
