Rwanda Bill causing migrants to head for Ireland instead of UK, says Irish deputy PM

The threat of deportation to Rwanda is causing migrants to head for Ireland instead of the UK, Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Micheál Martin has said.
The Rwanda Bill, which will see asylum seekers "entering the UK illegally" sent to the central African nation - regardless of the outcome of their application - was passed earlier this week, despite human rights concerns.
It comes amid increasing tension over immigration levels in Ireland, which is grappling with a housing crisis that has affected its own people as well as asylum seekers.

@@So-pp9nq One of the few nations that let in mass immigration at the end of the empire for all the empire. Once they get 1 family member in then they all eventually follow them through legal or illegal means since, understandably, they want to be with their family in a better place. The French did the same but mainly for Algerians when they were trying to hold onto Algeria by granting true citizenship instead of the supposed citizenship they gave originally. This led to the large Algerian diaspora in France which, over the years, has evolved into a relative abundance of extremist Muslims due to the failed assimilation policies for later generations.

[@hey12542]

​@@readesiun988Is that a bad joke? During Brexit negotiations it was the Irish 🇮🇪 government who wanted the Common Travel Area maintained and they said it was because they wanted free movement across the island of Ireland as it was part of the GFA. They got what they wanted and so they are in a common travel area with the UK, Isle of Man and channel Islands. The UK 🇬🇧 government at that time of Brexit probably forgot about the common travel area altogether. If Ireland 🇮🇪 had of wanted the CTA ended I think the UK 🇬🇧 government back then would have had a sigh of relief. But no Ireland 🇮🇪 wanted it maintained. Next thing we'll probably hear is Ireland 🇮🇪 wants the CTA with UK 🇬🇧 suspended due to the immigration. If they do suspend it I hope the UK 🇬🇧 keeps it's side of it permanently suspended and starts treating Irish 🇮🇪 nationals as foreign citizens that should apply to the UK 🇬🇧 settlement scheme if they want to stay here.

[@chapsnaps1]

In the time period between the last UK censuses the British population increased by 7.5 million - the same as the entire population of Ireland and it's the result of inward migration. This has put an intolerable strain on housing, infrastructure and the NHS. There is no social housing available - hotels are full of asylum seekers while homeless British people are sleeping on the streets. Youngsters have no chance of buying a home - starter homes begin at £420,000. We left the EU to try and stop the migrant madness - it was clear that we couldn't stop it by remaining a member of the EU and ECHR. Ireland has gained a worldwide reputation for economic success by offshoring and low company tax rates and has a more generous benefit system than the UK. Uncontrolled migration is not wanted by the UK or Ireland. Both countries are sick of it - and the way that cultural diversity and differing social values change our countries negatively. No-one asked us about inward migration - we want our countries back!

[@natpalazzo8833]

I agree but there is only one way to get our countries back unfortunately, and that is we have to fight for it. We are long past talking about it.

That's not a "claim to fame" that's a positive spin by terrible governments. What other nation would think being expelled to foreign lands is a privelege? For the last 100 years Ireland has been ruled by a monopoly-caste whose only goalis to keep ireland politically and economically liberal. The only opposition came from the IRA, turning into Sinn Féin, but they're too afraid to be genuinely populist so our entire government want's us dead. Ofc they would say it's positive when Irish people flee their own land in droves, it makes them look better thae what they truly are.

The Irish have a right to secure their country and allow in (and keep out) whomever they choose. There is no global moral imperative requiring Ireland - or any other country - to provide residence for those from foreign nations. Migrants have a right to ask for permission to enter and stay, and the countries have an equal right to say "no" for whatever reason they want. For some reason, this concept is difficult for the globalists to understand.
