    An Open Letter to the Immigrants

    We seem to spend a lot of time here discussing Immigration amongst ourselves going round in circles IMO.

    What we need is to expand the Debate beyond our narrow circle and ask members of the Immigrant communities to come here and talk this through.

    I was thinking that over Christmas I would draft an Open Letter of invitation and send it off to the various groups out there and cordially ask them to visit the site and talk it through with Catalpa and others.

    Of course David Cochrane might want or not want so I would like to know if it's OK.

    How do others here feel about the idea?

    Is that a threat?

    so you're basically going to write to immigrant groups telling them that you think they're destroying the country, and asking them to come before you and justify their presence in your country?

    Not quite like that.


    More like explaining to them there are great concerns amongst the people of Ireland on this which the Establishment are ignoring and we need a forum where we folks, Irish and non Irish can talk it all through.

    I venture that they too have issues that they would like to discuss with us that never see the light of day either.

    A warning that you're going to threaten if you don't get your "jaw jaw"?

    So when, say, Peter O'Mahony opens his post some time in the New Year, and sees a letter from some anonymous crank asking him register on this website in order to 'debate' with said anonymous crank, do you really expect him to show up?

    Send the letter if you want, but please don't come back on here citing their refusal to take up your 'offer' as evidence that they're somehow scared.

    I won't be threating anybody.

    But the political Establishment is trying to screw the lid ever tighter on this one. The anger out there is growing no question about it, so now we have a pressure cooker situation developing.
