Who said we should take billions of people into Ireland? Lol
Expensive bike , wish I could buy one too, unfortunately Im a health care worker, should have studied harder for my degree...
Muhammad's mother, Fatima Ali, has just given birth to her fourth child
Nice, the more the merrier. Maybe DP is not that bad after all, it would be irresponsible to keep popping out children there otherwise, right?
There are billions of people in the world. Much of them very deserving of a better life.
We cannot take them all. We should not take them all. Swamping Ireland/EU with people, whether they are good people or not, is also economic suicide. Its impersonal, its simply numbers.
*Opting out of the EU freedom of movement of people.
Everyone can complain all they want about housing and health care overcrowding but unless you are willing to do something its all just pointless complaining.
And the risk associated with it if Europe called Irelands bluff....there just isnt the support in Ireland to leave like Britain did and as pointed out it would be economic suicide.
So.....are we stuck with this and what are the alternatives?
After a real fight, its great to see this family has been allowed to stay
The attitude of these kids would put many here to shame
Do keep up. I know; I know in this latest trial it appears some Ahmed got stabby when the bronagh he was bangin decided to take it elsewhere.
Savoury lookin fella, of course
Going to ask again as maybe you missed it the first time. You claim:
The thing is, the Brazilian chap was here as an English language student and seems to have 'overstayed' his visa buy quite a few years.
He came here on a study visa as mentioned in numerous articles. Such a visa is 8 months in length and you are allowed 3 for a total of 24 months.
He arrived here in Feb 2019 and would have gotten his first study visa taking him to Oct 2019, his second would have taken him to Jun 2020.
Due to covid, all study visa were given multiple repeat extensions, 8 or 9 in total I think. This was due to processing being suspended for study visas from the first lockdown, Mar 2020, onwards.
Do you have any evidence that confirms he overstayed any visa?
I doubt you have, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt to provide proof. I'd hate to have caught you in a lie
I feel exactly the same about illegal Irish migrants. No sympathy whatsoever.
The David Mamet principle:
In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…
E.G
We have a housing crisis....lets have more migrants
We have a climate crisis...lets have more migrants
We have a biodiversity crisis...lets have more migrants
We have a school class size crisis...lets have more migrants
etc etc
It's a cult. To even suggest to a cultist that there may be an alternative way of looking at things leads not to reflection but rather to a frenzied piling of the pyre on which to burn the heretic.
Or unless you're Helen McEntee...
I view anyone working illegally in a country as an illegal migrant whether they're in Ireland or the US.
I'm curious as I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but how do you know what his immigration status is /was?
was it reported somewhere?
Mathematics is not a philosophy. 8 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment is not a philosophical debate, it's a numerical problem. The housing crisis is not philosophical, the healthcare situation is not philosophical. It's raw reality that can be enumerated. Beyond the libellous rumour that 7 ate 9, there is no propaganda in addition and subtraction.
On the other hand, trying to circumnavigate raw reality does require propaganda, does require a philosophy. Justifying negative realities requires a simpering "but Plato said that 10 to a bed was righteous!"
My numbers versus your philosophical justifications are not comparable. And that's why you outright refuse to answer a simple question, "why expedite an extra 40,000 non EU migrants into a country patently bursting with too many people?"
The answer is that there is no justification, and your philosophy falls on its arse on the first hurdle.
There should be a crackdown on these make-pretend English schools which are legal visa for money rackets but apparently we need this cheap labor. Well, we don't, the hospitality industry does, we're just paying the price.
Even though reality have give them several punches politically, they never learn. They really struggle to grasp that their social media feeds and what news outlets and politicians have to say, doesn't reflect what's actually happening on the ground. It's the same with the LGBT stuff, they think the majority are their allies, but in reality the majority doesn't care, and spends little to no time thinking about them.
Illegal migrants are illegal migrants.............unless they are Irish, then they are just undocumented.
I agree 100%. I'm just raising the fact that the guy arrived years ago and overstayed. I'd like to see a serious crackdown on crime, not the lenient legal gravy train serving slap on the wrist sentencing that's going on.
Thats sensible but you can bet a large number of these Brazilians will jumping on Helens amnesty plan.
The panic was on both sides you know. They never expected to go through, they were just using it as a rallying tool, but they didn't actually wanted it (with some exceptions of course).
Ah yes, I seem to remember very similar crowing about there being no appetite for Brexit based of General Elections in the UK , and then endless panic when they realised the game was up 😂
A new party not connected to the present national Party .
>>But the thing is, if the Brazilian man hadn't been allowed to overstay his visa then you could argue that the other young lad wouldn't be dead
What about bringing proper consequences to these feral scumbag teenagers?
That sad case of the Brazilian delivery guy who stabbed the young chap of African descent was a typical example of what happens with uncontrolled migration. I fully agree with the verdict. The thing is, the Brazilian chap was here as an English language student and seems to have 'overstayed' his visa buy quite a few years. I've no idea what the circumstances of the chap who died were and it doesn't matter now. But the thing is, if the Brazilian man hadn't been allowed to overstay his visa then you could argue that the other young lad wouldn't be dead. It's a very simple thing to check the visa status of delivery guys and if they are here illegally then they should be deported immediately. Illegal migrants are illegal migrants.
We aren’t in Schengen. Never have been.
This is really feckin surreal isn’t it? ..soo many people walking around look like they don’t even remotely belong here and then you realise they’re not even on holiday; what’s up with that hey remember when Spanish was exotic to us?! They’ll be the palest around at this rate ..
AKA: Charity, one of the legs of the shaky stool of the politic of multiculturalism. It's the least woodwormed leg compared to the exoticism fetish and we wuz migrantz onze I grant you. Still, his question, clumsy as it is, does look around for an answer. If your fridge is looking empty, you don't invite more people around for a meal.
The current Ukrainian crisis is at least understandable in the response, if the apparently near complete lack of planning and foresight isn't. Though it speaks vloumes that a war in Syria that to date has more deaths and destruction and refugees and has gone for longer didn't tickle our "charity" fancy nearly so much. We took in one tenth of the number of Syrians over ten years and each one was vetted to the hilt. Yet in three months... Lucky for the Ukrainians that they don't tan so readily.
However the drive to pull more and more people that aren't "doctors and engineers" coming here legally from beyond EU shores is far less understandable. It's happy clappy pie in the sky come all, it'll be grand in our melting pot nonsense and it hasn't worked so well anywhere else in the "multicultural west". Again please give one example in any nation in the "multicultural west" where the exact same trends don't happen. Again, you can't, because there quite simply isn't one.
Now your position comes from a thoughtful and kind place rather than some hand me down blind faith seen in others, but IMHO it's still an extremely naive one and reality and social history demonstrates that.
I learned a good while ago not to bite at his posts.
Yeah we're all a large happy family aren't we?
Some small issues like genocide and ethnic cleaning and countries that don't recognise each other won't be a problem, it'll be grand, no worries. What can possibly go wrong with removing the borders in the ex yugoslavia region?
OK so who is in favour of opting out of schengen?
What politician's have ever mentioned this option? It's obvious current government parties would not consider it as they seek tens of thousands from outside the EU and speak of a population of 10 million on the island
