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

They are different things though — one is long established ghettoised neighbourhoods where asylum seekers have been almost exclusively diverted over the course of decades and the other (Ireland) is asylum seekers being placed wherever around the country they can be placed — in hotels, facilities, factories — over the course of merely less than 3 years.

But even if we did accept that Sweden and Ireland can be taken as analogous, what tends to gall me is that the Right smugly holds up Sweden as a lesson to the Left, when Sweden also poses lessons for what the Right tends to get wrong about migration.

You have it from the Swedish right wing horse's mouth in the article I posted yesterday — NIMBYism and failure to integrate. These are also failures of the Right, who glorify the protesting of asylum seekers being placed anywhere. Put them in Dublin — protests are justified. Put them outside Dublin — protests are justified. Have nowhere for them and they just end up in tents on the street? Well, guess what, that's not acceptable to the Right either. No lessons from Sweden as to where that attitude leads?

Then there's integration. The Right — forever banging on about how migrants need to integrate — often seems to believe that the way to foster integration is to selectively seek out every story possibly retrievable about a migrant doing something or constantly massaging the narrative that migrants are in fact idle, unapproachable, incompatible undesirables whose menfolk simply cannot help themselves from the descent into sexual deviancy if they are around eachother for a while. Where are the positive arguments for how you encourage integration? Where is the Right's positive workable vision for dealing with the reality of the globalised world?

No, instead, the Right selectively picks the elements relating to Sweden that can be fired at the Left, instead of any form of self-reflection on its own failings.

Rte radio one .. Nick Henderson was interviewed, one-sided…aren't RTE supposed to give balanced reporting?

Whats he doing here anyway?

It's called Project 2029.

5 more years of parroting Putin's anti-immigration propaganda, and maybe they'll break the 1% mark for support in Ireland.

In social media posts, online videos and stories on websites, these accounts misstate the impact of immigration, highlight stories about crimes committed by immigrants, and warn of dire consequences if the U.S. doesn’t crack down at its border with Mexico. Many are misleading, filled with cherry-picked data or debunked rumors.

That quote refers to anti-immigration efforts in the US but it's quite obvious the same is happening here. Are we looking at 5 more years of 'unvetted males', O Gorman's tweets, 'safe countries', 'welfare tourism' ???

For anybody who thinks AS aren't shopping around:

This person is a bogus AS.

He is not fleeing persecution, he is fleeing London.

So they get their fake document and get to a nearby country.

Why do they then pay traffickers more money get through another handful of countries illegally to land on an island on the edge of Europe with completely different cultures and beliefs?

Is it the weather or something that's worth illegally travelling across the world to get here, that is something that is very difficult to understand.

Some day, hopefully, people will wake up and realise they're taking us for mugs. Until they do, we may as well bang our heads against the wall because no amount of reasoning will convince them otherwis

That ESRI report was published in March 2023, 21 months ago. I cant seem to find an updated version.

Would photos like the one above be enough to dissuade( well make them think twice at least) people from coming here to claim asylum. Or of course the opposite could happen if the protesters get their accommodation and bring more people here to do the same.

Would a few hastily scribbled cardboard signs work for those Irish citizens who are stuck living in their parent's house and can't afford a place of their own.

Ok. You've answered a question I asked you earlier in the thread, although not to me. I'd still like to know how those documents were good enough to allow them onto a plane in another country yet not good enough to be produced here? How does that happen please? Is the failure at the source of the flight or here? I doubt that many could leave Dublin airport with false documents. I am genuinely interested in how this happens.

They will be housed because the government don't want the bad publicity.

That will then only encourage more to come and rinse repeat

Why is this not getting coverage in our broadsheets?

people have been detained in NI trying to get into GB by crossing the border from Ireland in an operation aimed at cracking down on people smugglers.

What exactly is it you are annoyed is not being reported by Irish 'Broadsheets'?

They probably said that in Europe 10 years ago too- how did that turn out? Who pays for the refugee industry here when the corporation tax dries up?

What is it exactly that has you annoyed that it was posted here?
