    Yes. Someone has to fill the jobs the local won't or can't do.

    I think that's only the figure they settled with for the first batch ,this will be given extension after extension ,

    We can obviously abolish the asylum system now that anyone with a deportation order (11,000) and asylum seekers seeking international protection will get it too ,we know we have in excess of 9000 + asylum seekers in direct provisions alone ,

    Mod - Inflammatory, agenda driven thread title updated to reflect what the article actually says

    can you quote the part of the article that used the phrase?

    hahahaha

    Selective quoting at its best.

    Applicants must be considered of good character and not pose a threat to the State, but having convictions for minor offences will not, by itself, result in disqualification.

    What are you talking about

    It's literally word for word from the article.

    Illegals with "convictions for minor offences" will get citizenship. You quoted it.

    I never said it wasn't word for word. I said it it was "selective quoting at its best".

    I do not think the way you implied "convictions for minor offences"

    has the same meaning as.

    Applicants must be considered of good character and not pose a threat to the State, but having convictions for minor offences will not, by itself, result in disqualification.

    It has the same meaning.

    If you have "convictions for minor offences" your application won't be disqualified. The article literally states it will not disqualify you. Please read the sentence you are quoting.





  • The amnesty seeks to provide legal status to the illegals. It doesn't offer citizenship. You're confusing two different issues.
