Give them a choice. Either stay in a detention center and have your claim assessed, or be returned to your country of origin immediately.

so it is ok to detent people who have not committed any crime?for example the people ( mother and child) in Belfast who recently faced deportion and potential death?
do we put the kids in detention centres, or do we seperate them from their parents?
do we have a Mc Dowell style roundup, smashing in doors in the middle of the night

if they agree to wait the appropriate time for their documents to be approved then it is their choice if not then they really should find asylum elsewhere as our country isnt the only to accept asylum seekers. and if you dont do the background check without holding them you have the potential to allow a criminal running from the law free reign in the streets of ireland. its more of a safety measure then unlawful confinement.

yes government agencies are known for the speed they process documentation.:hmmm:
the choice is straightforward get locked up or get out. thats not choice.
should we in the interest of fairness and equality ensure that Irish people suffer the same when they move to other countries, including those who have had to flee Ireland due to state threats?
and if you dont do the background check without holding them you have the potential to allow a criminal running from the law free reign in the streets of ireland. its more of a safety measure then unlawful confinement.

So should we detain all non Irish citizens as they enter the country (that would include tourists, business people etc) in order to stop the "potential to allow a criminal running from the law free reign in the streets of ireland"?

belfast rep,you are dodging the issue with non sensical rambling,the facts are over 90 percent of asylum seekers into ireland are bogus asylum seekers,you and the likes of you can not have a civil debate about the real issues around mass immigration,instead you jump on your soapbox shouting Nazi,bigot and your favourite slander fascist,do you even realise how rediculous it makes you look,to shout this rubbish anytime somebody raises an issue on the subject of immigration,its realy pathetic and shows a severe lack of comprehension on the issue.
are you realy so naive that you think there are not major criminals who see ireland as a soft spot and fresh meat for scams,although it may not be all immigrants,if there is a chance that even one rapist,or murderer,could slip through the net,then that is justification,to detain asylum,seekers
note detaining asylum seekers,would not be the same as imprisoning them.as detained asylum seekers they would be able to associate freely come and go as they please whitin the boundrys of a detention centre untill there application was processed.although its not ideal,if it stops possible murderers or rapists,criminals,from illegaly entering this country then it is a nescecery measure.

in the interests of the safety of the people already in the country i have no objections as long as everyones processed in an adequate amount of time. the facts are war criminals among many others will try to flee their countrys under the false pretense of refugee so to escape punishment.

before you get carried away im not racist or whatever your thinking. and whats this aids issue you talk about??? and its true we should have some sort of system to weed the criminals out from the ones that actually need help. im not saying its perfect or this should be the system but there should be something in place to stop these people from dissapearing into society to continue their illegal activities before they are untraceable.

But theres no sense to that if it is the possibility of criminals entering the country and committing crimes here that really concerns you.
If you want to stop criminals from entering the country, then you would have to detain all foreign nationals entering the country and detain them until sufficient checks were carried out on them. The numbers of people entering the country that are not asylum seekers far far outnumbers those that are, so the likelihood is that proportionally there will be far more criminals entering the country as tourists business people etc that are not asylum seekers.

nijinsky there is a dramtic difference between forign nationals,and asylum seeker to compare the two is a mistake,foriegn nationals on the most part always carry some form of I.D,whereas the vast majority of asylum seekers arrive into the country with no ID at all,hence no history that may be connected to the identity
you must ask your self why are 90 percent of all asylum applications considered bogus,its definitly an indication that something more spurious is going on and it is the duty of the establishment in the 26 countys to do there utmost,in preventing any ILLEGAL entry to this country,if you dont have concern about mass immigration,then you can not say you have the nation of ireland truly at heart,its more than likely you haver been influenced by some failed ideology.thus clouding your rational side,and which in turn leads to silly pathetic attacks on peoples character with usual now boring,nazi,fascist,bigot diatribe.

well, we moved from N.Ireland to London when i was a kid and if they had of put us in some form of camp and run the proper checks to see every things above board then left us alone we would of been fine with that and just accepted that if we wanted to come to england that was just how it is. instead we were let in and every time the IRA planted a bomb, released a statement, made a threat or even broke wind our house was raided by Scotland yards "anti terrorism" division. if this camp ensures the good are good and the bad are bad I cant see it being a bad thing providing people are treated with respect, dignity and above all as human beings. However If I'm honest that will never happen immigrants are seen by the powers that be as a nuisance not as people in need or people looking to start over. Just look at the prisons they have in england for immigrants and how the people in there were treated.

But why are you just targetting asylum seekers? We dont know who we are letting into the country every day of the week, tourists, businessmen, etc etc etc We dont know how many of them are criminals or travelling under false id so why target asylum seekers specifically when there is no evidence to suggest that there is any more likelihood of criminal activity by them than by anyone else including our own citizens?

using fake is a lot harder to do and getting harder to do in this day and age. and i dont have evidence backing it about ireland im just telling you what i see here in canada. do you have a link proving that there arent more criminals coming in through asylum seeking? and the fact is refugees come in the hundreds and dont need any identification before their let loose to go and find their way, this is allowing a large room for error and can you tell me what would be wrong with wearing an ankle bracelet for a couple of weeks?

Yes they use their own ID's as I pointed out myself but they also use fake ID's too. Indeed republicans and other armed guerilla groups etc do it too. However, the first part of your sentence where you say they travel under their legit name only makes it more confusing as to why you want to tag asylum seekers solely while not tagging other visitors considering you say thats how the drugs gangs etc travel in and out.
ciaranxavier:do you have evidence proving that they arent responsible for more crime?
I suppose I'll have to take that as a "NO, I dont have evidence that asylum seekers in canada are responsible proportionally for more crime than anyone else"
ciaranxavier: and there is no evidence backing your claim up as well.
You are the one that made this claim, not me. You have provided no evidence because there is no evidence - full stop. If you make a claim its up to you to back it up. You havent

I do understand what you are saying but you still are giving no credible reason to target asylum seekers as opposed to others entering the country. There is no evidence whatsoever to show that asylum seekers, or indeed any foreign nationals, are proportionally more likely to commit crime here. Indeed foreign nationals are proportionally responsible for less crime than Irish nationals

You've made this claim a few times in this thread. I'm interested in seeing the statistics you used as the basis for it.

You do understand what NO EVIDENCE means, dont you? It means there isnt any -it isnt there. I cant show you evidence when it doesnt exist. Thats my whole point. Some people seemed to be suggesting that asylum seekers are responsible for high levels of crime, but there is no evidence to back that up, which if true, there would be.
As regards convicted and sentenced prisoners, foreign nationals (which would include immigrants and asylum seekers but not exclusively them) make up according to Irish Prison Service reports, account for approx 8% of convicts that serve a prison sentence. According to the last census, foreign nationals made up 10% of the population but the Government and those opposed to immigration claim the figure is between 12% and 15%
But even at the 10% figure they are still proportionally under represented in terms of criminals serving prison sentences

You can show evidence to back up your claim. That's what I was referring to. I'd like to see the source for those statistics.
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/big-jump-in-prison-numbers-as-more-are-jailed-1252308.html
Foreign nationals accounted for 8pc of those in custody while 3pc of those sentenced were serving terms of less than three months.
http://www.irishprisons.ie/
The figure in the 2004 report was very slightly above 8%. I believe the next year was in aand around the same as is the most recent one the 2006 report

ciaranexavier,you claimed i was borderline racist,let me explain a few things to you and any others who dont understand the english language and its meanings,the word racist means somebody who thinks there race is superior to others based on colour or ethnicity,now YOU explain were i have ever ever said such a thing?a concern about mass immigration is perfectly justified,it has nothing to do with colour,but everything to do with wether this country can deal with large influxes of immigrants,which put strain on the infrastructure,hospitals schools housing and so on,also economicly some of these people may become an economic burden inm a few years,when there is an economic turn down,to suggest these concerns are racist is simply idiotic and would suggest you dont know the meaning of the words you are using.

So if a person has an ID (whether its genuine or not) they are not a criminal and if they havent they are a criminal is that what you are saying?
no i did not say this nijinsky,just think rationaly now,if 90 percent of asylum seekers are found to be bogus asylum seekers that would indicate 90 percent of them have something to hide or are trying to enter the country ILlEGALY,now of course people with ID can be criminals but logicly there is a higher chance of finding out if a person is a criminal or not if they have an id
First of all this topic is about asylum seekers not immigrants. Secondly, what exactly is "mass immigration"? What figure turns immigration into "mass immigration"?
it is a well known fact ireland has the highest level of immigration per capita than any other country in the world,this is obviously MASS immigration,and it simply is not sustainable in such a small country with such limited infrastructure.and since 90 percent of asylum applications are bogus then that would indicate 90 percent of asylum seekers are trying to immgrate to ireland illegaly.
Where have I engaged in "silly pathetic attacks on peoples character with usual now boring,nazi,fascist,bigot diatribe"? Please show some evidence of this

tomas_o_ruanaidhno i did not say this nijinsky,just think rationaly now,if 90 percent of asylum seekers are found to be bogus asylum seekers that would indicate 90 percent of them have something to hide or are trying to enter the country ILlEGALY
No it doesnt. It doesnt mean they are bogus at all. It means their asylum application failed, just as somone who applies for a medical card and fails, just as that Limerick girls social welfare application failed. Is she bogus or have something to hide?
tomas_o_ruanaidh: now of course people with ID can be criminals but logicly there is a higher chance of finding out if a person is a criminal or not if they have an id
It depends on whether the id is legit or not or whether they have a criminal record or not
Tomas _o_ruanaidhit is a well known fact ireland has the highest level of immigration per capita than any other country in the world,this is obviously MASS immigration,

santiago,it wouldnt bother me who he marries as long as it is a good person,i know if i have a son i will do my best to instill in him a pride and respect for the irish culture and christianity,my fiance is from the kabylie part of algeria and they are almost white anyway,they have a lot of celtic blood in them,they are not arab,but anyway the problem in ireland has nothing to do with coulor because i know a guy who was reared in same area as me since he was born,im 27 so he grew up here in the 80s when times where tough,he is black,and he is a gentleman,now if i compare him to most nigerians,there is a drastic difference,nigerians are arrogant dirtbird low lifes,and it is a charecteristic of there culture,other black nations are not the same as them,but that doesnt mean i want ireland over run with immigrants black white or in between,it would be bad for this nation and its culture,not because of colour but because of practical reasons,like what will they do when there is no work,or when there old,they will be a liability.

Where exactly did I misquote you? What words did you actually use if what I posted is incorrect?
What context made it ok for you to describe Nigerians as you did?
Any sign of those figures that you promised us on Nigerian immigration Tom?

You claimed I misquoted you but you refuse to tell us what exactly you did say if you didnt say what I quoted you as doing. I am not suprised you wont answer as that was a LIE, a blatant lie by you. I quoted you word for word in your racist remarks.
You still havent shown us immigration figures for Nigerians despite saying you would. Why is that Tom?

This small peripheral island continues to attract more Nigerian asylum seekers than any other country in the world! This, despite the fact that there are no direct transport links in existence between the two or even despite the lengthy and expensive journeys necessary to get here.
For example, Ireland over the past seven years has processed 250% more Nigerian asylum applications than did the UK., a country which by the way does operate regularly scheduled air connections. What is all the more bizarre is the fact that 80% of Nigerian asylum applicants reportedly turn up here claiming to have no passports!
Ireland nigerian asylum figures for 2000 3,404,2001 3,461,2002 4,049,2003 3,110,2004 1,776,2005 1,276,2006 1,037.plus many more illegal nigerians,numbers for which are impossible to calculate as they are illegal.
And what context made it ok for you to describe Nigerians as you did?
this is my opinion,and the opinion of most of the people i have met who have come into contact with nigerians,the nigerian culture clashes with the irish culture,in such a way that alot of nigerians come across as ignorent people with a bad attitude,this is the common perception anyone i have met who have had dealings with nigerians,and this is including non nigerian africans who mostly have no time for nigerians.

No Tom, I did not misquote you. I posted EXACTLY what you said. You are wrong and you should have the b*alls to admit that. The context of your racist abuse of Nigerians was quite clear for all to see.

Tom, they are asylum seekers, not immigrants. You said you would get us figures for Nigerian immigrants. Any chance of doing so?

How is that your (or anyone elses) opinion of all Nigerians considering you havent met them all? How stupid is somone that judges an entire race or nationality of people on the basis of some people that he doesnt like? Perhaps those Nigerians you met were ignorant with you because they dont like racist liars themselves :hmmm: Or perhaps you are just trying to use it to justify your blatantly racist comments, which it doesnt justify in any way whatsoever.
