ARH privilege wrote: » "Economists agree that immigration has a net positive..." Yes absolutely. I saw a documentary movie about. Shortly the average age in some countries , currently "having problem" with immigration is around 46. If that info is correct ... after 2-3 decades there will be more pensioners there that workers. What will/should be happen with these countries budgets ?! How they gona finance themselves!? Should they "lockdown" or "close"... When I am retired, how the state will pay my pension?! if there are no people working and paying taxes... Why I am mention all these : immigrants are usually people who left their countries, looking for better life. For some better life is : better car , for some - own house, for other holiday in Hawaii , education for kids, etc.etc. and in order to achieve all these they are aware that have to work. Working they pay taxes so the both sides are satisfied . Country receive more taxes, improving citizens life - immigrant, its better life

Not having a go at the Polish, but the government and companies that will employ EU citizens over native residents. My last job had a team of 24 avmcross numerous sites in Ireland, 9 of this were native English speakers, 3 African, the rest Polish. Explain that please?

The reality is that irish language has been on life support for a long long time, long before any 'invasive immigration' by the Poles. It was displaced by the English language and the Irish ourselves haven't cared enough about it to do anything about that. Laughable nonsense to attribute it to Poles (or any other group of recent immigrants).

And while I'm sure it is hard to leave family behind, it's much easier to make the journey and get established then bring them over safely to a better life. It's really a no win situation. I've seen plenty of people criticising people bringing children on these journeys (look at the US southern border threads) and also making the same argument you just have.

Would you leave your wife and children in a warzone, while you go through the overall application process (months in addition to traveling and appeals)? Human nature is to be more sympathetic to women and children, so it actually makes more logic to send them first. In any case, in a warzone, males (adults and teens) will be conscripted by one side or another, so how are these young men free to travel?

Me. Earlier. wrote: » Oh its a point often raised in relation to this push for diversity W. A couple of problems with it, one local, the other more European wide. The local one is that unlike the majority of other EU nations Ireland has a growing population and the highest birthrate in the EU. We quite simply don’t have the demographic shift or anything like it of the rest. We're not running out of our locals anytime soon. And yet that argument has been wheeled out here. Either through dishonesty, laziness in repeating the same catechism, or stupidity, or all of the above. This kinda illustrates the same “diversity” hymn sheet is being sung from by all who push this politic. More mainland European wise, for all the talk of open EU borders and we're all Europeans together, you hear little talk of trying to encourage trained and educated Europeans from other EU states with unemployment problems to ones with more opportunities. No German companies setting up employment fairs in Portugal or Greece or Spain, or reporting on them if they exist. Oh no, let's bring in non EU, non Europeans, many if not most who don't have the qualifications and come from quite different cultures into the place to shore up the gaps.
