    In before the South Park.

    I'd say it's the Nigerians and Polish that most people are referring to though.

    The following (or combinations of them): non whites, people whose first language isn't English, people who come from non Western countries, people who come from poor countries, people whose accents are not Irish/English/American/Australian/kiwi.

    But like the Vikings and Normans before them, soon they'll become more Irish than the Irish themselves.

    No one took my job. My employer gave it to someone else because he wanted to use cheaper labour.

    My friend's dad was bitching about how our other friend has to go home to Oz as she can't get her work permit renewed... "And they're leaving in all the Eastern Europeans but kicking the likes of you out, 'tis a disgrace..." etc.

    It was lost on him that those Eastern Europeans have more of a right to be here than she does, she being non EU and all, but when she's of Irish ancestry, has Celtic looks, English is her first language and she comes from a similar culture to here, well jeez, screw all that EU stuff...

    Well fair enough then if she was but theres less chance of you seeing any australian people moving to this country sure why would they?

    Any of the other nationals who are living in Ireland are here for mostly one reason thats to earn as much as they possibly can and send it all back to another country. Now in all fairness id rather a couple of people from oz coming over and stayin for maybe year or two working puttin the money back into the country then they probley head home.

    well tbh we are a people who shop around for the best deal, if bringing money home from Poland would get me a lot more here in my country, and my children that lived here, I'd be doing the same thing.

    Its like anything else, people are out to steal and people are out in search for happiness, for a better life, and the latter are entitled to it.

    Why should anyone go home, did they cause the banking fukc up or destroy the health service? If they did I must have missed that.

    its a hypocritical to say this knowing that millions of irish immigrated to america and around the world during the famine to take other peoples job in other countries...hmm i remember a picture my history teacher showed me which was taken in america ages ages ago on a B&B "No Black's, No Dogs, No Irish"
