Ireland's Refugee Policy cont. Please read OP before posting

and he won't have much opposition in Poland on that view as polish soldiers are getting attacked on the Belarus border.

Thanks for the link. The section below is pretty grim reading especially when you consider the 2nd or 3rd generation following on from initial Asylum Seekers tend to have far higher crime rates than their Parents and Grandparents.

If anyone in the Irish Government is paying attention at all, they will quickly get deporting all illegal immigrants and if not, it will be current Irish Citizens and residents who will pay the price both now and in future.

There were 214,000 violent crimes, a 15-year high and an increase of 8.6 per cent. Robberies were up 17.4 per cent, knife crimes 9.7 per cent. Homicides were up 2.1 per cent, sex crimes 2.4 per cent. Crimes involving knives nearly tripled between 2020 (10,121 incidents) and 2023 (26,230). An internal analysis leaked to the Welt newspaper showed that knife crimes in Northern Rhine-Westphalia shot up 45 per cent over a recent 12-month interval. Other statistics from that state: in 2023, 80.1 per cent of pickpockets were foreigners, as were 47.6 per cent of shoplifters, 47.3 per cent of burglars, 41.6 per cent of homicide suspects, and 37.1 per cent of suspects in violent sex crimes.

The Germany-wide statistics on sexual violence were also sobering. An internal study by the German federal law enforcement agency, leaked to a Zurich newspaper, revealed that asylum-seekers have committed some 7,000 sexual assaults (ranging from groping to gang-rape ) between 2015 and 2023. Although they make up only 2.5 per cent of the population, asylum-seekers made up 13.1 per cent of all sexual-assault suspects in 2021. 

In 2023, there were 761 gang-rapes registered in Germany — almost two per day; 47.5 per cent of the suspects were foreigners. The frequency of such crimes  — which were rare in Germany as late as the 1990s — has hovered between 600 and 800 per year for the past 7 years. The statistics go on for page after mind-numbing (or mind-boggling) page. Berlin’s police chief delivered the upshot: “Bluntly stated, our numbers show that violence in Berlin is young, male, and has a non-German background.” 

As far as I know, the only restrictions is on the ratio of EU staff vs non EU staff. So to employ people on the work visa system, you can only have a certain percentage of non EU vs Irish and EU staff.

Sorry for not explaining very well.

Shhhhh.. you are obviously being racist with your logic.

You must hate indians.

/s

I am not fooled.

That must be an hour's worth of illegal immigration for Italy

Because a controlled immigration system is discriminatory by design and they cannot tolerate that.

It's ideological. You are either with them or against them and that's the end of it.

Even if you think you are making a good argument I guarantee you it will fall on deaf ears.

Half the indian subcontinent!!😂

You need to brush up on your knowledge of demographics.

And that's just the ones detected.

I'll say it again...

Immigration as a concept is a good thing, however it should always come with effective controls and ultimately be for the benefit of the host country and its citizens - not just the new arrivals.

The needs and priorities of the natives should always come first and never be seconded to the desires or wants of particularly economic migrants.

Where someone arrives under false pretence (an economic migrant posing as a refugee, or with no/false documentation, or in the back of a container) then they should be refused entry to the country and actively disqualified from future applications - we have enough chancers and criminals as it is without importing more.

Speaking of criminals, where a migrant is found guilty of a serious crime (rape or sexual assault, murder etc) their right to remain should be immediately cancelled and them deported back to wherever they arrived from. It shouldn't be on the Irish taxpayer to house and pay for their imprisonment when we haven't enough prison spaces as it is.

On housing in general and specifically in terms of refugees - they have no rights or entitlement to anything bar the legal minimum from a country that is struggling to provide enough and affordable housing for its own citizens. If they are not happy with that, then they can always go home or elsewhere. They are not prisoners.

I've no tolerance for the nonsensical idea that we owe anyone who lands with a sad story a home, welfare support, and a path to employment. While I sympathise with their desire for a better life, we have enough problems of our own without taking on those of everywhere else.

If they arrive legally, with skills that we need (I would question how many more delivery drivers we really need for example), and with the ability to support themselves and contribute positively then welcome! If they don't, they should be refused.

I make no apology for saying that Irish natives and citizens have a right to expect their country to put their needs first. That's a fundamental concept in a State and a core part of the social contract.

The money from FDI and high tax take won't last forever (as we saw a decade ago) and we shouldn't be squandering billions on chancers, opportunists, and connected hangers on in the NGO sector for no more than "feelz" and "attaboys", when we can't provide housing for our people or tackle the other issues in health, rural and infrastructure development, and of course the massive amounts of waste and inefficiency in the public and political sectors.

As I keep saying, once we get our own house in order, then we can start thinking about others - not forgetting that we give away billions in foreign aid on top of it all already as well.

Ireland and the Irish have done (more than) enough! Time to focus on OUR needs and issues, not just those of randomers.

Great post. One of the reasons I come on this site is to read your contributions. You should run in politics.

Carol Nolan is probably one of our best TDs we have in this country at the moment.

“The provider must ensure that the property is of an adequate standard and that the provider will provide the services in accordance with good industry practice"

So this is an industry built around this then?

The amount of proper sense in Kaiser's post is too damm high!
