Immigration Thread

[SoundMan]

Much has been made of our lax controls in airports, but there is nothing to stop someone landing in Belfast and crossing the border,

Not sure that they're as welcoming to immigrants in that jurisdiction as we are here jimmy tbh.

Lol....

There seems to be an unhealthy obsession with two or three vocal cranks who have a tiny online following.


The complete failure of the governments 'integration' policy has moved far beyond these idiots , with asylum seekers/refugees now polling as voters highest concern in the two most recent polls in the Sunday nationals.

This is quite sad.

Fantasyland stuff.

The U.K. was skint post WW2 and after their failed Suez crisis just on its knees with 3 day weeks, unions on strike, traditional industries collapsing,power strikes,riots, and rubbish uncollected in the streets while importing labour from former colonies and I.R.A. bombs going off in London.

Tories came itoi power in the late 70's and got the country going again as well as an actual war with Argentina and then as per usual the Tories crush everyone including the miners.

Leo varader speaking from the USA said that we need to been up border controls to stop the flow of immigrants and deport them.
A shift to the right for the next election but after the election he will do nothing as ECHR will Block any action he would be thinking of undertaking.

Leo varader speaking from the USA said that we need to been up border controls to stop the flow of immigrants and deport them.
A shift to the right for the next election but after the election he will do nothing as ECHR will Block any action he would be thinking of undertaking.

What he actually said:

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he supports an approach put forward by the European People's Party (EPP) around deporting asylum seekers to "safe third countries", but said that it would have to comply with international conventions.

The proposal, contained in the EPP's manifesto detailing its priorities for the next European parliamentary term ahead of elections in June, has been compared to Britain's Rwanda policy.

Speaking in Washington, the Fine Gael leader said "what we are saying in terms of the EPP policy, we support that approach, but it has to be done in line with the Geneva Conventions and the European Convention on Human Rights".

Fine Gael is a member of EPP.

However, Mr Varadkar said that "the possibility of processing asylum seekers in third countries" is already in the EU migration and asylum pact.

"It's not an EPP proposal that people would vote for or against in the European elections, it's something that's already envisaged in the EU Asylum and Migration Pact which Ireland has to decide whether we opt into or not," he said.



Mr Varadkar said the EU pact would see it "coming to agreements" with countries on its borders like Turkey "to assist them financially to increase and improve border controls and also to establish centres in transit countries where International Protection Applicants could be processed".

'Difficult situation'

The Taoiseach said there was a "very difficult situation now in Ireland" in relation to International Protection applicants "where we can't guarantee people accommodation if they arrive... yet the numbers are increasing".

Mr Varadkar said that efforts were ongoing to strengthen both Ireland's borders and the EU's borders.

He noted "increasing numbers coming over the border from North to South which is an open border".

However, he said that the Government was neither "dissuading or discouraging genuine refugees from coming to Ireland if they need international protection" nor "encouraging people to come to Ireland and claim asylum".

"I think what's very evident to me is that the reason why we are seeing an increase in the number of asylum seekers coming to Ireland and coming to all of Europe and indeed the US, it's not the pull factors it's the push factors," Mr Varadkar said.

Post WW2 usually refers to 1945 to 1959, even maybe the very early 60s

Statty though wants to pretend it really includes 1972 onward to try apportion some of the blame for the UK being skint on to the IRA
