France 24 report: Ireland struggles to deal with migrants influx • FRANCE 24 English

Ireland is struggling to deal with an influx of migrants. Makeshift camps have been dismantled by authorities, but new tents appear every day on the streets of Dublin. The government is accusing the United Kingdom of driving asylum seekers into Ireland due to its new migration policy designed to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda.

Tourists coming to Ireland get more scrutiny than migrants. WTF! Little will change until they overhaul or overturn the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees. Ireland never colonized a single country (except the US state of Massachusetts 😆) so they shouldn't have to accept these migrants.

Unless these migrants flew into Ireland directly, the UK was not their first safe country. The Irish government needs to identify where they arrived in the EU and return them to that country.

[@brunoivan]

I saw a report that actually many people do that. They fly and ask for asylum. I believe in Ireland it was a high percentage of about 70% of migrants. Some would destroy their documents on the way, probably due to low chance of having asylum granted. If that Nigerian guy is fleeing from Islam he will have a hard time in Europe.

No treaty UN or EU requires that. These folk can be deported, as they do not meet the criteria for asylum.

Why didn't the nigerian man go to one of the countries in the VAST African continent?? There are no direct flights to Ireland from Nigeria. Why didn't he stay in THE UK???

[@tomaccino]

Because Africans aren't all the same people. Bantu people of Congo have no obligation to take in Yoruban refugees from Nigeria, so they go north to Europe where you can be an equal person with rights, welfare and job opportunities regardless of your ethnicity. It's kind of obvious, isn't it? Why did Irish refugees go to United States when Europe had VAST fields to grow potatoes? Obviously the land of the free and home of the brave had better opportunities in previous centuries.
