Immigration to Ireland - policies, challenges, and solutions *Read OP before posting*

So now that the Brits seem to be getting the Rwanda plan working we can expect even more of these illegal economic migrants to make their way over here.

Martin sounded like he was blaming the British when all they are trying to do is cut the number crossing the channel.

It would be more in his line to tell that useless Minister for Justice to start doing her job.

Thanks I had a quick look at the offences against the state legislation and I think in might need updating.

I'd guess this guy was charged because he made threats against a garda station specifically, whereas burning property for government use etc presumably wouldn't be covered. Likewise intimidating politicians in a less direct manner.

The act also seems focused on prescribed groups, where what we have now seems to be less formal structures organising around social media channels.

I've had a quick look on public health research and asylum seekers and I can't find anything at all like you suggested.

Any luck with those names yet?

If you have access to pubmed and check out Public Health Ethics, The European of Public Health (just 2 examples) there are a myriad of published articles using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The regugee/asylum issue has been a major issue for several decades already and there's a lot of research out there.

BTW- being interested in this arena, discussing and debating it from various angles does NOT make one a racist. It makes one a realist. Two very different things. If for example, a refugee brings ebola into a country - that's a public health emergency. Europeans brought measles to Hawaii and nearly decimated the entire population. Migration causes issues. Fact.

Even with hundreds of IPAs living on the streets some people can’t see the necessity of having people who don’t qualify deported very quickly. It’s crazy. I don’t think there’s any point in arguing with such people who won’t face reality.

Being interested in this issue doesn't make you a racist, falsely suggesting that 'asylum seekers can't integrate' is a consensus opinion amongst public health academics certainly makes you look that way. Your little rant about feeling like a minority in Blanchardstown only adds to that.

I had a look in those journals, didn't find anything like you suggested. Plenty about public health needs for asylum seekers, specific challenges, prevalence of illnesses etc.

Who will it be, elaborate.What are you basing your prediction on?

An extra 31 Asylum Seekers homeless since Tuesday. We now have what seems like a permanent and growing tent city in the middle of Dublin

The state has lost control. We need serious decisions made fast because this is extremely worrying . The scale of this can't be fixed. It will only get worse with each passing day.

The Rwanda policy, which is currently costing £2 million + per deportation?

Longer term estimates expect the cost per deportation to fall to £200k + UK expenses + a yearly fee for as long as the person stays in Rwanda. (I find that quite optimistic)

That's what you want us to sign up to?

You can easily tell the people who are unaffected by the housing crisis, business closures, the strain on our services etc… They're the ones who call those who ARE affected "far right" - Their lives are going grand so bring in unlimited numbers of immigrants they say. Not only is it not a problem to them it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I really hope someone competent and firm goes with her.

Looks like MM just talking shite to me.

Nothing out of the ordinary there.

It's very much unknown that the Rwanda bill is having any impact on migrants coming to the UK, not to mind moving on to Ireland yet.

Rates of movement fluctuate all the time, it'll take time to measure the impact, if any.

What a vile thing to say
