We're a long way behind Sweden, to be fair. I think their immigration numbers were something like 2.5% of population. Even in the wildest dreams of Sinn Fein we won't get to those numbers anytime soon. However, there are a lot of cultural differences between Irish and Swedes. While we are known as the blacks of Europe and have spread our wings far and wide the Swedes are a far more insular race, far smaller in number at c.10 Million compared to our 5 Billion. Sweden is a low crime high taxation State whereas we are a high crime low taxation State hence immigration is more likely to reduce our overall crime rates whereas it may well increase the same in Sweden.
Our real problem is education. Even the kids from the Corpo ghettos of yesteryear are attaining levels of education far in excess of that once associated with working class folk. Similarly, you rarely hear of kids leving school at 15 to pursue (relatively lucrative and skilled) trades. Hence we are creating a perpetual need for first generation immigrants to fill vocational roles in low and unskilled areas (driving, cooking, serving, cleaning, etc) as well as to practice trades. At what our right wing friends would consider to be the upper end (doctors, surgeons, etc) we are also increasingly reliant on direct immigration and second generation immigrants.
Yuv completely lost all credibility Rat if u believe that the population of immigrants in ireland is below 2.5 % ...yur statement is actually laughable....a quick glance outside anyone's Hall door or stroll down any street in irrland would shatter that government statistical lie to pieces ...
First off ...do yu actually believe they are counting them ?
Secondly do you really believe that what has happened in cities all over Europe in country's that are ahead of us timewise in importing
100s of thousands of economic immigrants an the consequences that have occurred ther will not happen here ?
Yur argument that irish people won't do menial work is also another government lie .
They won't do it because they arnt living 8 to a shed or 10 to a one bed apartment or 50 to a TD owned social welfare paid for hostal thats crammed full of immigrants claiming refugee status ....the hole thing is a con ..the policy of Europe and of this irish Government is run by big monied sabateurs and traitors who profit massively by bringing down the cost of wages ,reduce workers rights and end trade union membership ...this is why our young irish population is either stuck permanently at home with the parents or emigrating wer
They are paid a living wage in Canada or Australia...
The second generation of immigrants won't stand for living how ther parents did ...they won't become doctors and professionals because the opportunity won't present itself because the government will put them into ballymun style ghettos....and they'll turn to crime ...
Drug dealing and gang memberships...isis being a prime example ...
Second generation immigrants from Paris London an Berlin going off to Syria to fight fir Islam...no affiliate to ther natural born country
..no intergation ..only identity crisis , resentment and hatred of the west ....
I would put the population of immigrants in ireland to at least 35 % easily ....how else do you think we have one of the most expensive property / rent prices in Europe?
