    The migrants in the new plan are from Africa, and while there is a possibility that some may be fleeing war, the overwhelming majority will be economic migrants

    There is a lot of savagery in Africa, use of rape as a weapon, hacking limbs off with machetes, burning villages, FGM, Islamist terrorists. And on the other end you have Nigerian princes who are a nuisance more than anything.

    In the words of Donald Trump, when he was talking about immigration from Mexico:
    They're not sending their best ... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

    This is what you get with African immigrants, too. I think Africa has much worse social problems than Mexico and it is a lot harder to integrate people from African and Middle-Eastern backgrounds than Mexican/Central/South American backgrounds.

    They didn't get a car yet but they did get the €5k for their house


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,136 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    So what we need is a photo of a load of 00 reg cars parked at Mosney, or one of the other direct provision centres? How do they buy petrol on €20 a week - or insurance, tax, tyres etc?

    He probably meant when they were rebels in Syria they got 8k for a Toyota pick up off uncle Sam.

    .......it seems to be originating from the rear of a bull as it stands. Why can't you link to the relevant page listing the benefits available?

    When they are given houses & are made resident they get these grants but I'm sure you know that DP is different

    You'd think that amongst the outraged who are handed a cheque for 8k for a car by these asylum seekers there'd be one who'd think to photocopy it and go to the papers.

    They are about 700 asylum seekers in Mosney and probably 500 case workers from NGOs and state agencies working with them. They cart the asylum seekers around various other NGOs, state agencies, charities, etc, with the begging bowl out and they get hundreds or even thousands of euros for each family in education grants, cars, taxis and travel, trips, immigration fees, legal fees, etc.

    It's a great industry and provides decent salaries for all the workers involved.

    Which government departments decides its 8k. Do they turn up at the welfare office and say I can only drive a car worth 8k.

    Is the amount decided by a welfare officer? So they get a cheque for 8k which says only to be used for the purchase of a car? Or do they have to go to a garage and get a receipt for a car then bring it to a welfare officer?

    Tbh, if a refugee family were accepted as having a good case and allowed to stay, I would not have a problem with them being given a start in life here. There is no point accepting that people should be rescued from a dire situation and then left completely homeless and with no resources.

    The problems are that

    1. people are not being processed/sorted fast enough so they end up in a limbo situation. They should be either allowed to stay, or returned to their homeland.
    2. local people are happy to mix up refugees and migrants, and create fantasy stories about how they are treated.

    Information about services and entitlements for people in direct provision are here https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/asylum_seekers_and_refugees/services_for_asylum_seekers_in_ireland/direct_provision.html

    While I have no doubt a few people slip through the net and exceed their entitlements, or do not receive them, in general I can see no reference to giving cars and furniture to refugees and asylum seekers. Maybe if you are directly aware of this happening you should be querying it with your local authority.

    1. To deport failed asylum seekers means making them get valid travel documents from their embassies which in practice they refuse to do. There is also an endless appeals process that keeps them in Ireland. Believe me if they make it here they aren’t going anywhere. That is just the reality.

    2. Most of them seem to come from Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh places that have problems from time to time but in no way could be called war zones

    You'd be surprised at how quickly people are processed. It is the never ending merry-go-round of spurious appeal after appeal, all on the taxpayers dime that cause people to be in DP for so long.

    They're notorious liars too. They're penalised for telling the truth. So they lie about where they're from, date of birth, what happened to their passport, reasons for being here. And the onus is on us to prove they are lying.

    If they are deported, what happens their 8,000 + car?

    Abandoned outside Mosney?
