We didn't get social-welfare, free accommodation or free healthcare or education back then - all things that asylum-seekers are getting. And we had to undergo compulsory health-screening - something the bleeding-hearts called "racist" when a FG candidate proposed it before the last GE. Bear that in mind before you make more false comparisons.

And certain countries which are not undergoing a state of war, famine or persecution, but are merely sh[I]tholes; like Nigeria, should have it's citizens excluded from asylum consideration.

What is the total number of applications we have had over the past fifteen years or so ? How many were granted ? How many of those who were refused have remained ? All benefit payments are maintained even after the applicant has been directed by the State to leave (by letter !!!??!!!)
At least a third of all children who have started school here over the last five years or so are the children of asylum seekers. And ask any of their teachers - the Nigerian ones usually go home for a month every year during term time for a holiday. Big feckin' threat, alright.
The only sympathy I have with(Nigerian) children is that they, through no fault of their own, have been born to such despicable scammer-parents.
But as for any upheaval they may experience when deported; they'll get over it. Their parents didn't mind bringing their older Nigerian-born children over to Ireland to begin with.
