What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

The good burghers of Sandymount couls stop this tomorrow.

McEntee had the cheek in her statement to say that because Irish people were illegal immigrants in the past, we have to open our doors to chancers. Muppet. Too woke to see the consequences of wide open borders.

Put it another way: if you were designing a campaign, online or off, to garner sympathy for refugees, which would be a better "poster person" looking for sympathy and action to reunite their family? A woman and her child, or a single young man? If you picked single young man, you're either gobsmackingly naive, or lying to yourself to keep the narrative edifice you've built on secondhand plans intact in the face of the bloody obvious.

I’d say it depends on what exactly is being highlighted. It’s fair to say if you’re talking about a campaign to reunite families and all the rest of it - nothing tugs at the heart strings like a doe-eyed child looking straight into the camera.

However, if you’re looking to challenge the prevalent narrative of “fighting-age male economic immigrants” entering European countries and being accused of exacerbating and adding to existing social issues, you’d probably have your work cut out as the audiences just won’t be the same. People who are convinced that fighting age illegal economic male immigrants, or “pro-mass immigrantion” sorts are responsible for an increase in social ills, aren’t going to want to hear about the fighting-age illegal economic male immigrants hiding out in parks in Germany for example. This sort of thing, I first heard of it years ago, and I’ve linked to articles before, but here’s a more recent one from 2020 -

Do I imagine people will really care? Nope. You’re right that it would be naive of me to expect something like that would counter anecdotes of illegal immigrants immoral behaviour like using public toilets and streetlights and they’re not even paying taxes.

Our borders are like a sieve. As long as you can make it to Northern Ireland,you can effortlessly cross into the South and disappear. Irish people have been doing it for decades. Don't forget the Asian guy who was importing people via Dublin Airport. He wasn't alone and he won't be the last. Our ports and harbours are virtually all unmonitored outside of the big ones. There isn't a port in the world that is truly airtight to unwanted visitors. Let me give you an anecdote from an event that I personally encountered in Dublin Airport. A Hong Kong Chinese woman turned up at the Garda checkpoint in T2 and said she wanted political asylum, in very broken English. It was soon established that she had come from London,having flown there direct from Hong Kong.. I was dealing with the aircraft she had arrived in on and a Supervisor arrived and asked that the toilet be serviced. It was going to be, anyway, but he said that she had admitted tearing up her passport and flushing it. So,the service guy turned up and drained the toilet tank. In the filter was a torn up HK passport.It was soon reassembled, shown to her and she came clean and then she suddenly regained fluent command of English and was mortified to find that she could have arrived perfectly legally to Ireland with no visa. Back to London she went. This kind of stuff goes on the whole time and the Customs and Gardai catch a lot of it. The bottom line is that people think we are a soft touch and McEntee just made it easier.

It disproves the notion that are borders are tightly controlled.
