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

I responded to a poster who said they weren't from the town. Not my claim. Took his word for it. If you know something to the contrary I'm all ears.

The "bussed in NGOs" were headed by the Mary wallopers, a very proud Dundalk band, the "concerned citizens" were led by Ireland freedom party Muppets Patrice Johnson, Paul Fitzsimons and Herman Kelly, who'd only know Dundalk as the last turn before you hit Jonesboro for fireworks and slabs of 440ml cans.

Saw another tweet earlier and the girl talking in support of the migrant centre had a dublin accent. Will try to find it now

The journo (Nicola Byrne) went up to protesters in April and told them that they didn't represent the people in the area - A bit antagonistic no? - Her car was allegedly damaged and she was quoted €1100 for repair but was told by the mechanic he knows an immigrant that might fix it for less - This immigrant (no national identity proffered) fixed said car back to new condition for €180

It's a lovely story except…Her mechanic likely said 'I know a Polish lad that might do it cheaper', but that turned into a generic immigrant - There is pretty obviously VAT fraud of some description going on there. If I were a journo and wanted to talk to these protesters I wouldn't arrive with a Kitty Holland head on me - I'd say, 'Lads, I'm neutral on this and I'm just trying to understand your pov on this situation, so can we have a chat as we munch through this bag of doughnuts I've brought…?'

She was a dope

Misinformation and disinformation.

The Governments new trope replacing Far Right bogeyman and racist.

This Government really believe people are stupid and they buy in to this **** they are peddling.

The Governments dialogue and communication crap, there's no such thing!!. At the end of the day the Government wont listen as they don't like the answers.

That Mary Louise McDonald what an awful leader of SF, last time I looked you're meant to be in opposition, well do something to condone this **** from the Government, this is like the referendum all over again, they cannot read the room. Im sure dialogue and communication will make Coolock residents want these illegals beside them…….

What planet is she living on

The 500 will multiply quick quickly too. It will spiral out of control.

DP was to be ended according to Roderic in 2020 when he promised keys to accommodation within 4 months. Now we are being flooded as a result. And today we have a Ukrainian woman threatening to kill someone while complaining that she doesn't have a house (why doesn't she buy one then)

I'm resigned to my kids either living at home til they are 40 or else emigrating and if they do emigrate and ever have kids of their own I will see them once a year if lucky.

#onlyfans

Across the board the main players all support this though. The "consultation" the DOI had with Coolock was them briefing TD and councillors mainly from parties who support this BS knowing there would be no push back.

Its either FF/FG again or a coalition from

SF/Green/Labour/Social Dem - None of who would change it dramatically. Sinn Fein backed the wrong horse here and I feel they don't actually want to be in government as they prefer to shout from the sidelines.

My money is on the greens getting murdered and FF and FG gaining just enough to go at it without a third party

Cheap labour is the way. Oh wait. They think these people will work like slaves🤣

I'm in the same boat. I want my kids to grow up and hang around with their kids. These bastards running this country couldn't give a **** about us socially. If our kids leave they'll just invite in another family from who knows where. We're number's on a spread sheet. Easily replaced. They don't understand nationalism at all.

Where are they going to emigrate to? All of the anglosphere has a housing crisis. I know a doctor in melbourne who can't afford to buy anything half decent there.

I find it funny that someone would complain about immigrants when their kids are going to places that are already over subscribed.

I doubt it tbh, they don't have a big presence around here and I can't remember them ever polling well here since they've come on the scene and anybody else with an anti immigration slant that ran here in the locals was a nut job, one chap I know personally, who somehow came very close to being elected, is an absolute headbanger who should never be allowed run a bath unsupervised nevermind run for election.

We seem to elect from the same parties time and again around here, SF have historically done well here because they've always been the ones who are seen to get stuff done locally but I have a feeling that may change next time around.

The heart of the immigration ISSUE is not the housing crisis. This has to be stopped been thrown out by people . 10s of thousands of economic migrants arriving every year with nothing in common with our laws or culture is completely unsustainable and bonkers and will lead to a breakdown in society.

Okay both Australia and Ireland have housing crisis.

I'm hearing that opportunities to develop your career and earn money are better in Australia.

I think that's enough for a lot of young people to choose Australia.

If we had ample houses being built and thousands of dubious IPA's granted housing could you imagine the increase in numbers we'd now have? Half of Georgia would be on it's way, half of Nigeria, Albania etc. It's also been proven in Sweden, the UK etc that if too many people arrive from cultures too different to our own, many won't assimilate and big social issues Will arise. (Not saying Nigeria, Albania and Georgia won't assimilate because they're on the higher end).

I personally think giving people a social life can result in productivity issues going forward. I've seen reports from other countries where an Asylum comes lives the free social life and then their kids also have a very bad uptake in employment. I can't remember which country this was from. Probably the UK or Sweden but it seemed to be creating generational issues.

This isn't a racial issue and it's probably for the same reasons in the poorest parts of Ireland you have generations of families on the dole in social housing.

I think the only solution is a much smaller number of IPA's so you've the resources to really help them get going and outside that all immigration must be legal and they must have the skills needed to go straight into a job which is vacant.
