    The table in the link shows that the top three asylum seeking nationalities in Ireland by origin are Pakistani, Nigerian and Albanian in that order.

    All crudholes in their own particular ways but can it be said they are warzones with people starving?

    Interestingly the largest group of asylum seekers in Europe by far are Kosovars with significant amounts of Ukrainians.

    Nigeria and Pakistan as a whole arent at war..but certain ethnic and religious minorities in both countries are persecuted and could seek asylum, as could gay nigerians and pakistanis

    both these countries are huge there is nothing to stop people moving to another safer area, and if thats not good enough there are plenty of neighbouring countries that are safe

    why does its always have to be the white man's burden

    yeah thats true I agree, but the option is open to them so I don't criticise them for taking this much more enticing offer..move to a slightly less ****ty part of nigeria where I hopefully wont be further persecuted or live a safe cushy life in northern europe..hard decision

    At the end of the day most people realise that war torn migrants need shelter. And TBH I don't have a problem with that at all.

    There is always a BUT though.... because many are sitting on the coat tails of the war zones, and they don't need to flee their countries at all, but are taking advantage of the influx to sneak in.

    That is what makes me feel EU is being taken for a mug.

    And there are so many men. So many, on their own. I just cannot figure out why they would leave their families, mothers, daughters, etc. to survive in a war zone.

    Are they totally selfish or what?

    I just do not understand the dearth of women in Calais for example. I know it is a bit different in Macedonia. But then again.... all roads lead to Germany it seems.

    Some of the lesser shown pictures of the migrants show things like iphones and samsung phones, adidas/nike shoes and all sorts of branded clothing. Many videos/pictures of the migrants show a lot of puma, adidas, nike etc.
    I might be wrong, but is this the attire of the impoverished and hungry? Or those fleeing war? Do war refugees who didn't have time to bring any documentation on the way out remember to bring their smartphone and charger and their best pair of clothes?

    Firstly, the provenance of those photos is usually unknown. Secondly the word "knock off" may be relevant. Thirdly, they are impoverished and hungry now, they weren't nessecarily before they fled.

    "Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace—
    Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease;
    And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought,
    Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought."
    -Rudyard Kipling

    White mans burden is more about the folly of western intervention, which is a major contribution to the current crisis.

    I see that they will be fingerprinted in Italy and Greece. Sure they will just let them cross either way. We need to fingerprint them ourselves.
    Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has said the first of the 600 migrants from Syria and Eritrea whom Ireland has pledged to accept will be arriving from September onwards.

    She said the new arrivals will be fingerprinted and assessed in Italy and Greece before eligibility is decided.

    Pakistani Christians get a very hard time in Pakistan. I think they should be the top of the queue for asylum here.

    Our politicians are much too easily shaken by a few comments from a loud minority. It's all about PR for them, as demonstrated by Jan O Sullivan's asylum seeker stunt.
    If we were to be as loud and brash about immigrants then maybe they might listen to us too, the problem is no-one wants to come out against immigration for fear of being branded a racist, a fascist, or a xenophobic bigot: regardless of what your reason for being anti immigration (or even just a sceptic of). In a modern world where everything is connected and anonymity is near non-existant, everything you do online can be traced back to you, and to your employer, your family etc. So a public shaming can easily destroy ones career or livelihood as happens fairly often stateside.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    This so-called racial profiling accusations used is just nonsensical, the usual race-card as is so-well known. We as a country have to make sure for the safety of its citizens that any migrant or refugee that enters our country is free from criminal convictions and criminal activities from elsewhere as well. It has to be done whether the government like it or not.

    The last thing we need is more migrant criminals coming in here.

    What do you think these migrants will live on when they're here?
    In "our" experience, they won't find a job, they will beg on the streets if you're lucky. In the worst, and more likely, scenario they will end up in the drug dealing business, they will steal and rob, they will stand at traffic lights and wash your windscreen for money, they will demand money when you park your car 'just to be safe that your car won't receive any damage while you're away', they will sell fake and counterfeit goods at street corners, and when they feel bored, they will harass and rape your girls and women.
    They will colonize town and city neighborhoods, you will see them gather at a dark spot on footpaths acting suspiciously and you'll feel uneasy and unsafe to walk out your home door. Your neighborhood will become unwelcoming, homes value will decrease but you will sell it anyway because you can't stand this kind of life anymore. Shops in the area will change their signs, in some of them you will never want to get in.
    This 'worst scenario' and much more is what we're already living here!
    Are you ready for this?

    This is why this shy Irish government needs to implement mandatory fingerprinting of any and all migrants to Ireland. They either do this or there will be a lot of problems down the road in the coming years with non arrests while these criminals just hop on a boat out of the country or up north.

    You need fingerprinting and photographs off all of these folk entering our country to keep track of any criminal behaviour. It's a no-brainer, but this government are more worried about the out of date racial card scenario. Fingerprint them all, every single one of them. If they have nothing to hide then they have nothing to worry about.

    We have discussed solutions and the veracity of these peoples asylum claims. But how do people see this panning out in the longterm? Our elected representatives here and those abroad seem to have little interest in stemming the flow. So how will this all work out longterm? Personally, as long as this continues, I can see Europe become more divided with a lot of people swinging to the right.

    They will integrate better for a start. We are going to have to take asylum seekers we may as well take ones that will integrate.

    Easy, use your vote to vote in a party that will do something about it, or that will put continuous pressure on the next government to do something about it.

    This government and the Irish folk as well that voted yes in the Lisbon Treaty 2 vote pass have basically started the change for worse of our country into a coming cesspool. Sure look at Britain, look what happened there, and now they are implementing a serious law to deal with it, but only when it reached crisis point. Are we going the same way about it now ? damn right we are, blind to what is coming.

    The germans have already caved, I just saw an item on the news where they're no longer going to require that people register in the first country that they come to. This effectively is opening the door and saying "everybody come on in!".

    What's going to happen is more ghettoes, more mosques, more madrassas, more pressure against freedom of speech, more rape and sexual assault, more violence, more terrorism. And some nice restaurants.

    I used to go out with a girl from pakistani christian family years ago in England. Their family had no issue. I knew quite a few muslims there too. There was no way in hell i could ever have had the same relationship with a girl from a muslim community. They integrate better.

    Do you know who will largely integrate seamlessly? Skilled professionals. Stick with the critical skills permit for non EU citizens and we won't go too far wrong. It is the other loopholes available that I am concerned about. This 'asylum', 'studying English', illegals getting here and claiming to have been in a container for three months, non EU and EU citizens getting married even though they can't speak the same language is the craic that will bring problems.

    Skilled professionals that will plug gaps in our labour market or entrepreneurs who will create jobs; welcome aboard. For the rest, there is always Sweden.

    I will say one thing though, the Polish and Chinese have integrated very well here in Ireland, and that's a given, and fair play to them as an intelligent people. Of course there are Polish criminals and the same with Chinese criminals, but the overall majority of both of these peoples out-weigh the bad. I'm not going to mention fingerprinting and documenting again as this should have been done from day one of the Lisbon Treaty 2 vote pass.

    It's not racism, it's just an important mechanism to make sure that the criminal element from outside does not gain access. We have enough problems of our own at this time to deal with.

    its actually worse than that

    many muslims in the UK import their brides from their home countries, usually a first cousin, with predictable public health results

    these marriages are not really scams as such, but it does result in a continued increase of the islamic population in Europe

    if you look at the news and see most of the "refugees" are young men, many will also import wives at a future point

    this year the Germans think they are taking in 800K "refugees" well its going to be a lot more once they start getting married and having children at a higher rate than the Germans who will pay for it all

    This little Island Ireland in 50 years will be overcrowded with many folk living on boats on the coasts because of more shortages of housing and lack of greenery. Ever feel the discomfort of living in a shoe ?. Apartments will be the size of a shoebox with no garden. It will be like one big-ass city all-in-one while the call for prayer is blasting out at 4am.

    Logical response to immigrants and protection of borders
    "The government has announced that all persons arriving at ports and airports in Ireland will be photographed and fingerprinted from the 1st October 2015.Those who hold Irish passports will also be required to obtain a National Identity cards from designated offices closing date being 20 January 2018. It will be a requirement by law for all Irish citizens to carry the card from this date forward and both customs and Gardai may ask for it to be produced at any time . Non Irish citizens living or working in the state must present themselves to designated areas to be processed for a temporary identity card that must be renewed every 3 years ."

    "We are monitoring things closely and talking to our European colleagues on a regular basis regarding this issue. We hope that someone will put it to the Dail in 2035 and implement it in 2199"

    we already have housing shortages

    and despite having the lowest population density in the EU, we build the smallest houses and flats in the EU

    we have the dumbest ruling class in the western world, and thats really saying something

    in the end we will get what we deserve


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,004 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Tongue in cheek,

    But at this stage it is looking like the EU should decamp to Africa, boot out the charities and the dictators, and set up a great union, utilising all that is good there, specially the fekkin weather. Make Africa the place to be with all the advantages of the EU.

    Then all the migrants will return to their native home, and EU can go back to fix the indigenous wasteland.

    But that is just a fable tale. With some truth though I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,363 ✭✭✭KingBrian2


    Some people make valid points about the migrants but the underlining argument for not letting the migrants in is that weare not are responsible. It would be wonderful if they did come under better circumstances as tourists or an exchange of culture. In this case America and the like are bombing all their countries that is why they are here. Send them back and force the Weapons industry to stop selling AK47's to the Jihadists.

    Gadaffi portrayed as the loon,the fruitcake,monster and imbecile by the West when in fact he was probably the most cunning,informed and able of all the leaders in the Middle East.
    He said he wanted gold dinars for his oil, but the yanks prefer everyone to pay in paper dollars which they can print more of whenever they need to. Shortly after that he met his end. At times he was a cruel dictator, but then the arab and middle eastern countries have traditionally been ruled over by their "strongmen". As we have seen since his death, these countries tend to descend into chaos otherwise. The same applies in Syria now with Assad.

    Pakistani Christians get a very hard time in Pakistan. I think they should be the top of the queue for asylum here.
    Not as hard a time as jews or atheists. Basically, every non-muslim gets a hard time in an Islamic dominated country. Does that mean every non-muslim should leave those countries and come to Europe?
    And should we then expel all European muslims in retaliation?
    No, these are not solutions, they make things worse.
    We in the EU could use foreign aid and/or trade sanctions to influence other countries, to encourage them to give more equality and freedom to their own citizens.

    3- This all somehow works out and we all live side by side in relevant harmony. Multiculturalism kinda works in Canadas big cities. Perhaps we are all wrong and things will work out A ok here too. Wishful thinking, I know, but I really wouldn't mind being wrong here and my fears for the future are overblown.

    but even if its a peaceful hand over to our new islamic masters its still the end of Europe

    Germany is great because the Germans have made it great, if its full of people from the middle east then its not longer Germany, we are not all the same, if we were then there would be countries in the turd world just as good as as the European average, but none are

    Germany for the Germans, Ireland for the Irish, Arabia for the Arabs

    Multiculturalism is BS
