The Irish government and media are trying to make you believe that immigration into Ireland has fallen drastically by talking about reduced numbers of asylum seekers this year.
In the first 3 months, 3,021 arrived. While this is a reduction compared to last year, it's still a huge increase compared to previous years. For example, in 2017 there were 2,135 asylum claims for the entire year.
But here's what they're not discussing, work permits and student visas.
9,897 work permits have been issued to non-EU migrants up to the end of March and unlike asylum seekers, these migrants are entitled to family reunification. 40,000 work permits are expected to be issued this year, but when family reunification is counted, that number could double or triple.
Student visa numbers are about the same. Approximately 30,000 will be issued this year.
The government, the media, the EU and the NGOs want you talking about asylum seekers. They don't want you talking about legal immigration because that's the real scam.
You're competing with those migrants for housing from the day they arrive.
There's an entire industry operating in Africa, Pakistan and India which profits from exploiting the legal routes into Ireland.
Go onto Tiktok and type 'Ireland visa' into the search bar, you'll see what I mean.
I encourage everyone to pay attention to legal and illegal immigration.
"Well at least they're working" isn't a reason to give away your country to foreigners.
@CarjetUK Do not deal with this so called company. After paying a deposit and getting no car, they now refuse to give a refund. There a total scam and i am sure they have done this to a lot of customers
