Sure the paddys have emigrated around the world for years. They won't stand in the way of others who want to come here. This one way unchecked immigration is turning parts of some European countries into ghettos. Take Malmö, Molenbeek and Sevran for example. These are known as hotbeds for jihadis. Marseille, Bradford, Birmingham already are close to 25 % muslim.

I suspect that a lot of immigrants already in the UK will know that their stay will be short lived and Ireland may be a better option than than France or mainland Europe. Simple to hop on the ferry and remain in the EU. Ireland has to be ready for it. As for ghettos within mainland Europes cities....these were often there before this immigration wave and most date back to immigrants being brought in to rebuild Germany etc. after WW2 or to work in the coal mines thereafter. At the time these people were seen as guest workers and as a result were never intergrated. What is happening/has happened is that a lot of young men (2nd-3rd generation) living in these areas have allowed themselves be radicalised. This I assume is a result of these young men and women being on the edge of society, normally coming from low income, low perspective families. When a group comes along and shows an interest and creates a community for them they are easily lead.

A non-Muslim from Saudi Arabia is just as likely to have a backwards view of womens' place in society as a Muslim from Saudi Arabia - it's not about religion or race, it's about cultural immersion. Somebody who converted to Islam while living in Ireland is not culturally connected to ultraconservative middle eastern culture, so they're unlikely to adopt such views. I'd argue that historic precedent has actually shown us that this form of multiculturalism simple never works out well. The problems you refer to only arose because people with vastly conflicting cultures were forced to share the same geographic regions without agreeing on a mutually acceptable set of values by which to live. This is what leads to the creation of ghettoes etc. This is where the concept of cultural ethnicities deserving their own homeland in which they can live according to their own cultures - for example, the two state solution of Israel and Palestine - came about. Because it was recognised that throwing people of utterly incompatible cultures into one small geographic region together only ever leads to conflict. History has taught us this repeatedly. Again, it's not about religion. Seeking out Muslims to do this would be pointless, since there are many Muslims who do not adopt ultraconservative cultural ideologies imported from repressed nations elsewhere. A far better analogy would be if you meet a teenage girl or young woman whose family doesn't let her out of the house without a male chaperone. Telling her to her face that you find this repulsive is obviously pointless, but how about phoning the Gardai or social services to report a suspected case of psychological / emotional abuse? If it was a case of somebody's partner treating them this way, under the new domestic violence laws introduced very recently this would be a clear cut case of emotional abuse, no question whatsoever. Why should it be different when it comes to familial relationships as opposed to sexual ones?

They are not flying in......over 95% are on foot/train/bus and the French have the correct checks in place at their ferry terminals, hence the reason that Calais has a slum with thousands living in it.

Irishmale0399 wrote: » England have promised the EU that they would take X amount of refugees as have all other EU countries. Once they leave the EU there will be no obligation for them to take anyone. Somehow I doubt they will keep taking in problems....more likely will be a system similar to Austrailia or Canada where education and financial means will be important to enter.

Irishmale0399 wrote: » It will not stop them 100% but it will drastically reduce them. At the minute there is no major checks when entering the UK...once they are out you can be sure that they will check every nook and cranny and will be sending them asap back to France, Belgium or Holland to ensure they are not burdened with the cost.

Can you explain why they will suddenly start looking for illegal immigrants because they are out of the EU when they can't be bothered now even though it would be more of a benefit to do it now while they are in the EU because they can send them back to France.

Captain Obvious wrote: » What are you talking about? Are you just reading stuff off a UKIP website or something? Do you not have a clue of the difference between illegal immigrants and refugees? Under the current EU rules, if the UK catch illegal immigrants coming from France they can send them right back. The only people who have open borders are EU citizens. After the UK leaves the EU then France will be under no obligation to take any illegals back if they manage to cross to the UK. They'll probably even reduce their security on the tunnel.

Thats the first change which should improve things. Added to that the problem is very often not people who have entered the UK illegally....the majority have some sort of right to be there. As was the case with the clown that resulted in this thread being open, he was refused refuge, which means the UK accepted he was in the country whilst the decision was being made. We dont know how he entered... Added to that please tell me how many of the known terrorists who have committed attacks within the EU were illegal?? Most of them held EU passports or were asylum seekers who were registered and getting support.
