[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1184523, member: 45598"] I mean, it wouldn’t have worked prior to the threat of deportation to Rwanda. Ireland wasn’t any better of an option than the UK, arguably worse for people with hopes of getting low skill employment of some sort also. The back door migration from NI is also high to the point that our government, who are staunchly against the right wing crowd mentioned above by [USER=55969]@Saintjay[/USER], is taking preventative emergency action. The timing is incredibly suspicious to the point it’s hard to believe that unofficial lines of communication are getting people there. I’m aware of that although 7 times the amount of refugees compared to 13 times the population shows the issue on our end here. It’s not an even split or close. I’m also aware of that but when it’s mostly UK based groups working with scumbags here and now the UK Gov are almost endorsing them by in their most recent actions it’s really dangerous. Like it’s already at the point where asylum seekers aren’t safe due to a lack of infrastructure here nevermind the self proclaimed “patriots” attacking them. I also don’t think the numbers add up to freely point fingers at Germany and France (although what goes on in the North of France is shameful). They’re both taking the brunt of this crisis with refugee populations that dwarf the UK. The UK have similar figures to Sweden. They could and should be doing a lot more. So to sum up, I think there’s a very high risk of Ireland receiving a disproportionate amount of refugees who have landed in the UK as a result of misaligned policies (the greatest issue across the board as pointed out) and the funnelling of people through the North. I think it would be quite hard to make the argument that the movement from France to the UK is as negligent or nefarious on the side of the French gov.
