"Immigration is now not merely the dominant feature of Irish life, it is the greatest threat to the existence of the Irish nation as a coherent, and cohesive whole"
"No country has ever accepted, never mind assimilated, the volumes of foreigners now present in this state. We have some 400,000 legal immigrants; but everyone knows that the army of illegals, especially Africans and Chinese, is vast, and probably tops 200,000. In all, Ireland has received at least 600,000 immigrants, most of them within the past five years. It could be many more. No one has the least idea.
In the US, such immigration would translate into an inward population movement of 45 million. In the UK, the figure would be nine million. Needless to say, neither state would be so idiotic or feckless as allow such vast numbers to enter.
Only Ireland would be so idiotic and so morally lethargic as to allow such massive inward population movements.
And of course, we haven't got the resources to cope with the consequences of such an influx. But worse than our lack of resources, is our lack of courage in confronting the issue"
- Kevin Myers - Irish Independent
"...we are seeing already where areas are developing as ghettos for people from certain countries so you can come here and work within your own community and converse only with those people who are from the country that you are from"
"..we are now creating a huge underclass of unemployed Irish. Ireland is now being run not as a society for the benefit of its people, but rather an economy...over ten years they have never once discussed the issue of immigration in our national parliament, that is scandalous...."
"Over the last ten years, in a sense there has been an effective plantation of the country, I suppose is the only word I could use for it"
- Ted Neville,
So, I suggest, let's get "politically incorrect"...
It's taboo to criticise immigration in Ireland. But the vast number of immigrants that came to Ireland over the past number of years is totally insane and unsustainable - and as Ireland goes down the tubes, the Irish tax payer must support huge numbers of unemployed immigrants. All this adding to existing the financial headache.
No other country would have allowed such a wreckless lack of policy.
There certainly is a need now for politicians and the government to put the Irish "natives" first...
Perhaps getting politically incorrect is the only way of getting real?
