Asylum seekers cost €24k per year each

[Oblivion]

Asylum seekers - 90% of whom are bogus - are stringing-out their appeals for as long as possible, costing the state money it can't afford, even as the country stares at fiscal disaster.

Timeonline, July 5th: “Each person who is living in a direct-provision centre costs the state €24,000 a year,” said one official. “The GNIB and other agencies dealing with asylum-seekers have been told to deal with each case as quickly as possible. The idea is to deport anyone who shouldn’t be here as fast as possible to save on welfare payments and other related costs.” Full story: Twice as many asylum seekers ejected from Ireland - Times Online

At a time when the government is having to borrow €70 million per day, just to avoid a California-style meltdown, Irish taxpayers are still forking out hefty sums to fund the lucrative immigration and asylum industry. In slightly better news, though, the bankrupt government is now being forced to slash spending on the immigration industry; asylum solicitors and other cockroaches won't be making quite as much money:

"The government has also reduced the fees it pays to barristers and solicitors who provide legal services to asylum-seekers. The immigration and asylum system currently costs the state about €80m each year. The Department of Justice hopes to reduce this by 20%."

The government has also been forced to do something previously unthinkable to left-wing clowns and ultra liberal nutters...... deport failed asylum seekers: "The number of deportations ordered by Dermot Ahern, the justice minister, has doubled. He signed 691 deportation orders in 2008 but 423 in the first five months of this year."

It would only be natural if asylum seekers, who have had their request rejected, then proceeded to view our Irish State with hostility and ran up expenses and costs in everyway possible as a punishment, or as a bargaining counter. But it is our Government which has failed, failed to protect it's citizens' economic interests, failed to draft adequate regulations and resource effective procedures.
There is a lot of evidence; from the unusual distribution of nationalities applying to Ireland, and from GNIB information that these applications are made on average after six months residence in Ireland (but still accepted!), and from the fact ( see the EU's 'eurodac' data) that many that Ireland's applicants had previously lodged an application for asylum in another country, that the Irish legal system is particularly attractive to the internationally savvy applicant with a poor case.

Well he was the man who said:

This country has been inundated with bogus applicants using every trick in the book to try and get around our immigration laws.

Before joining these boards I was unaware of the inroads the extreme right and racists had made in this country
Quite depressing to see so many racist and ignorant people but I suppose its a reflection of the growing far right menace in Europe
Will we ever learn

Correct.

This site in particular is overrun by the far left and the far right. It is like a home from home for racists, homophobes, communists, fascists, religious fundamentalists, etc. Now on some of the threads even Maoists have started to show up.

Most of them are kiddies at play.

Brughahaha, the topic has nothing to do with racism. That word Racism has stifled debate on this topic for far too long.

Genuine asylum seekers will keep their head down and apply for status here. Some however have a degree in the countries worth having a go in. Ireland is one of them. That is the reality. The Government have dragged their heels on this and that is shameful, as it tarnishes the genuine asylum seekers as one and the same as the bogus.

Perhaps a more approprate name for you would be 'bla bla bla.'

Breaking news: smearing someone as a "racist!" ( I didn't even mention race ONCE ) doesn't mean you win the argument - it simpy underlines your own lack of one.

As for "ignorant" people, sorry you haven't noticed, but it's the "free trade" charlatans and open-borders cretins who've spent the past decade wrecking Ireland. Now the debt-bomb has exploded, revealing all the "wealth" to be utterly bogus. It was never wealth; it was debt.

Party's over. We're BUST. Just like Mexifornia is BUST. Just like Spain, with 4 million immigrants, is BUST. Just like "multicultural" Britain is BUST.... and France.... and Italy..... and Greece....

If you still think that protecting our borders from bogus asylum seekers and illegal immigrants makes us "racist!" then it may take 20% unemployment - and your own job being under threat - before you get real.
