should asylum seekers have any rights

I think they should be given the right to work at the very least. How can anyone make a better life for themselves and their family living on €19 a week and no access to education and work?

I met a lot of asylum seekers working as prostitutes through my volunteer work with rhuama.Very intelligent women forced to sell their bodies because they were denied work permits so could only work illegaly.
Anyone begrudging human beings their full right to life,work and dignity are the ones fu*cking up this country imo.

I am sorry ,but you go on the game its your decision if not forced into it by been trafficked.I know plenty of girls who live on little or nothing a week and they aren't on the game.
Having free food and living not to mention clothes etc.. does not force you into prostitution and free money.
I have known girls like this cry me a river story.

It's a fair bit of bollucks alright.. The only reason anyone from africa would here of ireland is because of our benefits being thrown at anyone and everyone.

Anyone and everyone provided you're not self employed and Irish you mean.

They should have the right,

THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!

Ill use the sarcasm tag next time lest we have anymore confusion. :pac:



.....

I was agreeing with how you pointed out the post previous to that. You've managed to confuse yourselves

But in answer to question of original OP,yes any genuine asylum seeker should be entitled to work and not claim for free.And the mind boggles at why they are even in mosney as long as they are
They should have been checked out and either found refugees or not.

Ireland has a naturalization process.
You get a job, you have skills and wait to be processed, it takes a number of years and then you are welcome as an Irish citizen.
The main example I know is Dr. Constantin Gurdgiev who works at Trinity college, he is constantly on TV and writing newspaper articles. He is from Moscow.
Before my time but I heard in the 1980's there were rich people able to buy Irish passports

I can understand Ireland taking in people from conflicts like the former Yugoslavia. Many atrocities happened there, Irish troops served there so we have a connection and it's Europe after all.

If you are in Africa, how much information do you realy have on a small wind swept island on the edge of Europe?
Why choose Ireland I'm wondering? English speaking a suppose may be a factor, is that it?

You don't have to be Irish to get benefits.. This very thread is about asylum seekers being housed, fed and clothed.

You missed the point completely.

450,000 people unemployed and you want to accept more people into the country :rolleyes:

Not everyone is stupid, angry and miserable who comments against immigration.

I'm educated and have a good job.
I'm looking at the situation from a calm intellectual unemotional point of view.

When you start bringing emotions into it, you're the one who loses your objectivity.

We're talking about real living human beings here,not cattle!

Of course emotions come into it. Its this cold,calculated capitalist mentality that has f*cked up Ireland.

Every human being has the right to food,clothingand shelter,and anyone to deny them that right shouldn't be functioning in our society tbh.

are you (and others on here) seriously suggesting that anyone who turns up here without a visa should be allowed work?

c'mon people, does nobody else see a fundamental flaw with this line of thinking?

AT least you would weed out who is here for the welfare and who is here to work straight off the mark wouldn't you?
And no i am not suggesting that,i am suggesting they are scrupulously and thoroughly checked out and then allowed to work.I much prefer they work then live off state for 5 to 7 years while waiting for their citizenship.
