Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

Well I know loads of Syrians made it to western Europe with no documents via Turkey, Greece etc. You can cross borders on foot in many places.

Of course some destroy documents my point was many refugees have genuine reasons for not having any.

Jesus christ lads in this day and age surely their documents could be photocopied when boarding the plane and forwarded on to the destination country for authorities to have for clarity

This thread is mainly about illegal immigration. Migrants working in Healthcare and construction normally enter the country legally with a visa. Most people are not too concerned about this though some use fabricated work experience and qualifications but that is for another thread.

I've never seen data regarding the education level of Asylum seekers. This idea that they are going to be granted asylum and suddenly start working in multi-nationals and the professions is totally absurd. The Dutch have done a study showing that the average Somalian migrant costs the state over one million Euro over their lifetime.

So basically, we fund them for years in order to have their bogus asylum claim rejected. We then fail to deport them and they go rogue in this country ultimately costing hundreds of thousands in Healthcare and Policing. They then go on to have lots of children multiplying the cost to the state.

This is our present situation.

Ok leaving aside the fact you think people who travel through multiple safe European countries. Risk their lives again to illegally cross a body of water in a dinghy.

But are not doing this for better opportunities but rather are still fleeing a war they escaped 5000km ago.

All because a document written nearly 100 years ago says so. I hope for your health you dont follow all medical advice from 100 years ago as devoutly.

Leaving all that aside, do you at least agree the 85% of AS that arrive via Dublin airport with no documents should be treated like the con men they are?

Trump is not the brightest but he has gotten one very big thing right. Put your own country first,second and third. Every policy should be only with the aim of increasing the prosperity and safety of your own citizens.

MM and our political class don't care about Ireland anymore but only about being seen as the best boys in class competing with other lefties to spend more and more on foreign criminals.

That is where we are in a nutshell. Lions governed by sheep.

It doesn't matter if I think they should be treated like con men at dublin airport as they are still entitled to claim asylum with no documents. If that law changed then things would be different.

The airport isn't the problem though as something like 90% of all AS come from the north anyway.

That 90% provided by an under fire McAntee is sketchy at best. Some could say a handy scapegoat to link with an emotional irish unity quagmire.

But pre brexit the AS stats for Dublin airport are anywhere from 50%-80% of total AS claims.

So the airport has and is most definitely an issue.

So to answer my question, if the law changes youll change your opinion that these people are poor souls fleeing war and persecution to criminal con men?

Interesting morals you seem to hold. The law is an ass.

Why are you on here all day discussing your feelings if they dont matter?

This is a discussion board for opinionated people. Of which you are cleary one.

I want anyone truly fleeing a war or persecution to be looked after. But outside of people being airlifted by irish air corps from foreign battlefields and dropped here that cannot happen due to our geography.

You need a large level of cognitive dissonance to disagree.
