Racist.
When is world nationalist day?
pretty much every day
all the time everywhere
that’s why we have weird ideas about patches of the earth belonging to territorial monkeys with egos and guns
Are borders a bad thing?
they are the result of a primitive hard working of our brains
we probably have to evolve a whole lot more to make them unnessary
but if you are asking if they are a ” bad ” thing
if say in as far as primitive tribalism is bad ..yes
hard wiring
I don’t think open borders are compatible with a generous welfare system; can decide to have one or the other, but not both.
I do agree that evolution is required but lets be realistic. If borders were removed today the world would be in mayhem tomorrow. All of these territorial monkeys as you put it will be at your door (oooooh). I believe borders are essential for prosperity, security and social cohesion. This is what we are now, and borders are whats required now. Countries have their own laws, and unfortunately the people who break these laws in recent times are now being portrayed as victims? I hold borders to the same esteem as my home’s front door, the contents of which must personally be protected at all costs. That may be primitive, but I call it natural…human if you will!
I totally agree with the need for now
it just saddens me
1939-1945
And where, pray tell, oh wise one, with all the families crammed into b&b’s for a home, all the hundreds sleeping on the streets, the dozens cramped into bedrooms, where oh where are all the unfortunate refugees to go when they get here?
You could get some of the anti-Gaelic brigade here to form the fada.
Ill pass.
Are you Ill?
rural areas need repopulated
Migration flows tend to go towards urban area; if many immigrants were settled in Ballygobackwards with little opportunities for employment, and for leisure (meeting people from their own background, restaurants supplying their cuisine), they would move to Dublin or Cork where these things can be found, putting further pressure on housing infrastructure in these places.
And why not with our own people
Its the days of technology where technology and communications do away with the need to ghettoise our country
With planning the whole country can be used and prosperity spread to all corners of Ireland
If the countryside is used to dump illegal immigrants into our tourism is under threat
I nice sentiment until you remember that we don’t have enough houses for the people already in the country.
okay you want open borders, fine, have them and in return we scrap our welfare system. We cannot have both.
Exactly open the borders and abolish all services and while we are at it nothing free, no safety nets and then remove all taxes that we pay for things we will not have
Then watch every freeloader move out
The EU policy on migration has been a massive cause of what we see now
“The EU policy on migration has been a massive cause of what we see now”
What a bunch of BS.
Open borders would be a complete disaster. Where would the 100,000 plus refugees live? In tents in the Curragh? Where would they get healthcare? What schools would there children be educated in? And it always seems to be Western Europe that has a ‘duty’ to take in anyone who comes. Not Singapore, or Japan, or UAE or Russia, but the West.
Exactly
Anyone who disagrees with the EU migration is painted as a racist
Sadly what do we pay taxes for?
If we allow them in our whole system will collapse
Already there is a move to make all nations in the EU share the Burdon of countries at the front line
That in theory is fair and the spirit of the EU
But that means our quota would go up ten times at least
If that happened our whole system would collapse
And that is not xenophobic that is fact
Delusional nonsense.
delusional jake38
You forget the sheer poverty these people are escaping from ,but sadly for us our whole infrastructure would collapse if we opened our borders
Then imagine when massive tax rises are needed to fund the cost of these new arrivals
Health
Education
Housing
What about pensions?
What about our Irish dependents or is this too xenophobic of me to even mention it
Lets see your solution?
Genuine question
What do you think you achieve my changing your name all the time ?
Do you think people don’t recognise you? They do…instantly
So seriously, why bother ?
Do you forget your own back story ?
What’s your solution Janet ?
Just silence all that are not team players and head down the well trodden road of disaster
You must have an idea ?
