I know you probably a lovely fella but you have to get used to being wrong .
A retraction of your claim that unaccompanied minors will not likely get family reunification is expected.
I thought you would be in favor of these children getting family reunification as you support refugees .
You are more interested it seems in winning an argument than any support of these unfortunates..

I think no one knows for certain what's happening as the government often acts in secret.

I don't think that Ireland should accept these children.

I'm hoping that Trumps election will waken people up to the fact that it is ok to put yourself first, to put your family first, and to put your country first. Only after that must you go out to help others.

As of 2015, there were some 90,000 unaccompanied minors among registered asylum seekers in Europe. In that year, about 0.04 per cent of this population of minors (35) had applied for asylum in Ireland. In 2016 (first 11 months), the number of unaccompanied minors applying for asylum was 112 (19 of which were found to be over 18 yrs or not asylum seekers). Who has responsibility for these children?

Their parents or guardians perhaps?

There's an orphan in Brazil. Am I responsible for that child?

UK reducing number of child refugees to be accepted.

Government backtracks on pledge to take child refugees
Only 350 unaccompanied child refugees will be allowed to settle in the UK, thousands short of numbers previously indicated

Hours before the final vote on the triggering of Article 50 the government quietly announced it would allow just 350 unaccompanied Syrian children to come to the UK, thousands short of the figure suggested by government sources last year.
More...

I wonder why the UK government have stopped taking the children.

Is it because of the public backlash over the ages of the children?
I wouldn't have thought so because the government should have always known that taking in immigrants was not going to be popular. Having said that, society is now very polarised and many people do want the UK to take in loads of children.

The UK cannot keep everyone happy here. It's similar to abortion in Ireland.


Have the UK given a reason for stopping taking the children?


Personally I don't expect multiculturalism to work based on experiences elsewhere. I think it's a smart move by the UK but it'll make no difference as their society is already multicultural.

Ireland could yet save itself from the horrors of multiculturalism but I feel it won't. Sweden no. 2.

I don't blame the immigrants, I blame the Irish people calling for mass immigration, and voting for mass immigration.

I find it highly entertaining when people warn us about the "dangers" of multiculturalism by pointing to the post-apocalyptic hellscape that is Sweden.

I can't help but wonder: have any of them ever been to Sweden? Because it's a wonderful country.

They said because it has only been encouraging even more teenagers to travel from Africa to Calais.

Impeccable logic, and it applies equally to all other ages of migrant too.

The apocalyspe hasn't yet happened in Sweden.

So it's not yet post-apocalyptic.

Give it time. We all saw Iran and Afghanistan in the 1960s. The pace of change has accelerated since then.

Do you understand the concept of 'unaccompanied minor' in immigration law? These children are not in Brazil, they're in the EU, a political and economic union which Ireland is a member of.

List of grenade attacks in Sweden

Malmo, the most "multicultural" city in Sweden, and perhaps in Northern Europe, features prominently.
Its a far cry from the good old days of Abba

The reformist Mohammad Mossadegh was elected as Prime Minister of Iran in 1951. Taken out by an Anglo-American coup in 1953. Ruled by pro-West kleptocratic Shah until 1979 revolution.

The Marxist-Leninist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan seized power in 1978. The embarked on a programme of radical reform (secularisation, land reform, equal rights for women) together with political repression. Instability led to intervention and occupation by USSR in 1979. Then the US, under Carter and then Reagan, started arming the Mujahideen.

I fail to see the parallels with Sweden.

That's a shocking list. Malmo sounds more like a warzone than a peacetime European city.

Many attacks are related to organised crime, and extortion of restaurants and businesses.[6] According to Swedish police, the use of hand grenades in crime is unprecedented in all comparable European and non-European countries, and the only countries with similar characteristics are those with warlike conditions.[7] Malmö police have consequently warned about undetonated grenades in the city.[8][9]

Have you a link to these pipe bomb attacks in Dublin...it would be good for a comparison.

I'm at a rugby match at the moment so not searching for stats in Dublin pipe bombs but more interested in what organised crime grenade attacks In malmo have to do with child fefugees? Is anyone trying to link attacks by organised crime to these refugees?

I'm guessing that was intended as a rebuttal to the idea that Sweden is a lovely country.

What's your point?

Are you trying to claim a causal relationship between multiculturalism and grenade attacks? Because, if so, you could produce some actual evidence.

Or are you pointing out an apparent correlation, in the hope that people will draw the causative conclusion that you want them to, without explicitly committing that heinous logical fallacy yourself?

Widdershins

That's unreal. I had a quick look into it and I'm shocked by the rate of attacks in Malmo. I had no idea it was such a commonplace problem there.

Malmo (and Sweden) is like the proverbial Curates Egg, its "wonderful in parts" but those parts are not the multicultural parts.
Draw your own conclusions.

Does the same apply to Stockholm? Uppsala?

Both feature in the grenade attack list, but not as frequently as Malmo.

Care to provide evidence as to who is doing these grenade attacks because all your previous link says Is that the attacks are linked to organised crime.

What have the grenade attacks got to do with immigration?

The exact ethnicity of perpetrators (if that's what you want to know) is not usually released to the public.
Swedish police are afraid of being called racists.

Which is, imo, ridiculous.

The truth cannot be racist.

If I said, the majority of crimes are perpetrated by Nationality X, then that might be perceived to be racist. If it is a fact, though, it is not racist.

If I say, "A" percentage of Nationality X has been found guilty of theft, "B" percentage of Nationality "Y", and "C" percentage of Nationality "Z", then that is not racist. That is factual reporting. I cannot see how there could be any perception of racism.

The Swedes have forced their police force into a ridiculously "politically correct" position, imo.

so how do you know if the grenade attacks are anything to do with immigrants?

Because most of the criminal gangs in Swedens no go zones are immigrants.

Have you some proof of that?

Edit: google the Great Nordic Biker war. Plenty of guns, grenades and anti tank missiles used by biker gangs fighting it out over turf.

You've obviously never been to Sweden.
