As the UK moves forward with deportation plans, illegal immigrants are flocking to Ireland, now arriving on luxury ships after shelling out thousands of Euros. The Irish government’s lenient stance on immigration has drawn criticism, with refugees finding it relatively easy to reach and settle in Ireland.
Reports indicate that refugees are sailing across the Irish Sea without passports, simply by purchasing a €2000 ticket on luxury ships. Upon arrival, they receive accommodation and support, preferring Ireland for its perceived safety compared to the UK.
Meanwhile, the influx of illegal immigrants continues, with some resorting to sleeping in tents along roads like the Grand Canal Road. This trend follows Britain’s deportation of tens of thousands, prompting many to seek refuge in Ireland.
An Afghan refugee, who spent €7000 on his journey via France and the UK, highlights the struggles faced by those displaced by conflict and bureaucracy. While political leaders mostly endorse the government’s approach, the Andu party warns of losing control over immigration, urging for a stricter stance to avoid sending the wrong message internationally.
