A few mentions of bogus asylum claims and economic migrants...
Curious if there have been any research papers (even at a European level) that contain stats on the legitimacy of asylum claims...?

easy enough. Compare rates of application claims to those rejected (usually the reasons for rejections are explained). You could also look at the vetting process and the statistics relating to those. They'll be a matter of public record, for both Ireland and the EU.

Unless you're just hoping that someone else does the research for you?

There are heaps of past immigration threads on boards. Search and browse. There's bound to be some links referenced... Personally, I'm a bit tired of often needing to provide such information every time the topic resurfaces.

I suspect the regulars to these kind of threads feel the same way. It gets tedious after a while, because few really want to listen. Same arguments are made, and those same arguments are dismissed with the same shallow objections.

It would be considered racist to even suggest that this subject should be studied.

It might be considered racist (by some) to analyse them and put forward certain 'truths'... but anyone can look at the statistics and draw their own conclusions. You or the other poster might even get to look at the raw data, which are often presented in various reports... it's just that few people want to look at the actual statistics, and prefer to have someone interpret the info for them.
