    Cultural reasons...

    Cultural reasons, yes. Problems can and do arise when people with radically different beliefs about society, identity, personal freedom etc become a large population within an existing society. This should be obvious.

    Nativist is their word de jour! No baggage with it I suppose

    Nativist simply means the belief that those born in a particular region should have the first priority over access to its resources. It's a legitimate political belief which goes all the way back to the dawn of the human race, so to dismiss it as racist just because it's become uncool in the last couple of decades is moronic. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with people who hold these beliefs. They have every right to hold them and express them, and agitate for them at a political level.

    Don't pay your TV licence - half of the Guards down on top of you..
    Enter a country illegally and run free - not a bother..

    Because it suits the liberal govt agenda to not track down so called refugees.
    Whereas if you dont pay your licence fee, its perceived as giving two fingers to the state, hence the gards at your door.

    The gards have everything to do with the tv licence. lets say you dont have one, end up in court, get fined, dont pay it. the judge will impose a custodial sentence. Hence, the gards at your door. Like your avatars name, you should try harder...

    No, no they wont. A custodial sentence in lieu of paying a fine is gone. Shatter changed it

    Says in the papers the search has been 'stood down', ah well that's that then.

    Also says:
    This is the 2nd time that a group of migrants were found in a truck in Co Laois after traveling through Rosslare.
    Almost a year ago, on August 13th, x6 'refugees', including a child, were found when a refrigeration truck was searched by gardaí at Stradbally.
    The truck driver alerted gardaí after hearing noises coming from his truck.

    Also last May, a teenage stowaway was found in Croke Park, having hidden in a truck being used for the Rolling Stones concert.

    In 2016, x8 'refugees', all Kurdish, were found hiding in a truck in New Ross and later sought asylum in Ireland.

    This week a report, prepared for Minister Charlie Flanagan, warned that Brexit could have an enormous impact here as any perceived tightening of UK immigration controls could see “illegals” increasingly look across the Irish Sea instead.

    As has been said by others, guards have absolutely zero to do with the tv licence. You seem adamant that a guard checks on and prosecutes for a tv licence.

    Has never happened in the history of anything. I believe a TV licence inspector does that. A person from revenue who calls to your door and has the power to prosecute you.

    Edit:sorry I agree that it is ridiculous that this has taken a turn towards a tv licence issue. Just whatever poster initially brought it into the discussion, it has no relevance to the Gardai or immigrants.

    I'm sure being a Nazi is against the charter. Anyway, quoting them if they're espousing such views is hardly against the charter. They've offered a view, you're merely quoting what they said.

    This thread. Seems some are perfectly happy with it. Those who believe in strong immigration control don't like it and never will like it.

    They should be pissed off about it. Ireland has a housing crisis, a homeless crisis, a struggling health service and some people seem perfectly happy with people jumping out of the back of lorries and escaping, people who shouldn't even be in the country. 

    How are you supposed to do future planning on housing, health care and other sectors when you don't know how many people are coming in illegally who will need to somehow support themselves, use the health system, need work, it all adds up. It's a very serious issue and deserves to be taken seriously. 

    Only those who are happy with illegal mass immigration are happy with it, those who believe in a structured society don't and want controls in place to deal with it, it's not asking for a whole lot, it's common sense. Since when did it become controversial to want to know who is coming into your country, how many and at what rate, it's perfectly normal to be concerned about it and ask questions.

    The clamour at the start was for a manhunt to track them down!
