Ireland’s Warning: Failed Immigration Policies

Ireland’s Immigration Crisis: A Betrayal of the Irish People

Ireland, the Land of Saints and Scholars, is facing an immigration crisis that threatens to change the face of the Emerald Isle forever. One in five people living in Ireland is from another nation, and the government’s policies are exacerbating the problem.

The Housing Crisis

Ireland is already struggling to bridle a homelessness crisis, with 12,000 on the streets and thousands more to be added with the recent ending of an eviction ban. On top of this housing shortage, one-third of Ireland’s hotel rooms are housing refugees and “asylum seekers” (mostly military-age men from unknown places), causing many cities to lose much-needed tourist income.

Instead of housing the 12,000 homeless Irish citizens, Ireland’s minister for children, equality, disability, integration and youth, Roderic O’Gorman, has been sending out advertisements in eight different languages announcing that housing will be provided to those who come to Ireland.

The Betrayal of the Irish People

One would think the government’s response to the housing crisis would be to find solutions to help the Irish people. Instead, most of the country’s resources are going to non-Irish. This includes setting these immigrants up with free housing, food, health care, already limited spots in Irish schools (leaving Irish children with no spots in schools), and even allowing them to vote in Irish elections.

Unfortunately, the Irish government’s desire to import foreign populations has it skipping the vetting of those it brings in. Over 60 percent of “asylum applicants” arriving in Dublin are without ID, making it impossible to deport any later found guilty of violent crimes like rape or murder.

The Irish people have not yet recovered from other historical attempts to erase their existence. But today, it is the Irish government stealing from its people to provide for those from outside Ireland.

The Warning

The Irish government should be taking care of its own; the current housing drought is proof that the country cannot afford to support the rest of the world. The Irish are already an extreme minority globally. Their generosity may soon make them a homeless minority within their own country.

• Ireland is facing an immigration crisis unlike anything it has seen before.
• One in five people living in Ireland is from another nation.
• The government’s policies are exacerbating the problem.
• One-third of Ireland’s hotel rooms are housing refugees and “asylum seekers”.
• Instead of housing the 12,000 homeless Irish citizens, the government is providing housing to immigrants.
• Over 60 percent of “asylum applicants” arriving in Dublin are without ID.
• The Irish government should be taking care of its own.

The Irish people deserve better. It’s time for the government to prioritize their needs and put an end to these self-destructive immigration policies.

The Irish are already an extreme minority globally. Their generosity may soon make them a homeless minority within their own country.
