Immigration Thread

A border on the island. Never . Tinkering with the GFA is not on.

I am sure if there is a political agreement across all parties associated with the GFA, for the purpose of stemming this flow, then I am sure it can be amended.

Could be an awkward dilemna for some,

Sunak says fact people are heading to ireland means the Rwanda plan is working,

Poor Rishi just cannot catch a break..................

"Ireland plans to return asylum seekers to the UK under new emergency laws, in an effort to stem arrivals through Northern Ireland.

The taoiseach, Simon Harris, wants the proposals brought to cabinet next week amid concern that Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda plan was rerouting asylum seekers from the UK.

Harris has asked the justice minister, Helen McEntee, to bring proposals to cabinet next week to allow the return of inadmissible international protection applicants to the UK."

I wouldn't have much faith in this happening if it's depending on McEntee acting in a decisive and proactive manner.

This is the minister who said just last week that "funding and finance" would be made available to increase prison spaces. She doesn't come across as being the brightest tbphwy.

It's an early test of Harris's leadership anyway. Let's see how he manages this crisis.

When the dail vote on the EU immigration pact it will be interesting to see if independents back the government. We have an opt out clause and should enforce this.
Should this go to a referendum full stop and let the Irish people have their say?

Sending people back to UK won’t work, sure they can’t deport illegals at the moment ?

Jesus. Given Ireland's utter inability to deport anyone from this country even those that other EU countries agree to take ,Rishi is laughing his head off as the utter dregs of the world get dumped over the NI. border.

He is going to solve the problem very very quickly and laugh, but sure, let's wait and see, shall we?

When asked about the situation re those coming from north to south Michelle O Neill said a "Thought out solution is needed"
What in the name of god does that mean?
