    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A spokesman for Mr Harris said the taoiseach had asked Ms McEntee “to bring proposals to cabinet next week to amend existing law regarding the designation of safe ‘third countries’ and allowing the return of inadmissible international protection applicants to the UK”, Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported on Saturday.

    That’s why I’ll have emergency legislation at cabinet this week to make sure that we can effectively return people to the UK and that’s why I’ll be meeting with the home secretary [James Cleverly] to raise these issues on Monday."

    A spokesman for the Irish Department of Justice told BBC News NI that “the issue of irregular movement within the CTA” - the Common Travel Area between Britain and Ireland - would be discussed at the ministers’ meeting.

    On Sky News on Sunday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was asked whether Mr Martin’s comments showed the UK was “exporting the problem”.

    It comes as Home Office figures showed some 500 migrants had crossed the English Channel over two days - with 141 people arriving on Friday and 359 on Saturday, in a total of 10 small boats.

    Mr Sunak told Sky News that illegal migration was a “global problem” and said many countries were looking to replicate “third-country partnerships” similar to the agreement struck between the UK and Rwanda.

    Pretty hypocritical for the Irish to be against taking in refugees. Oh well, guess that got theirs so fuck everyone else.

      I don’t really see how this represents any proof that these asylum seekers are illegal economic migrants. Rwanda isn’t a safe country for asylum seekers, so it seems reasonable that people would try and avoid being sent there. If Ireland now appears safer, then travelling there from the UK makes sense surely? The position for “illegal economic migrants” hasn’t changed substantially, as the likelihood of being sent to Rwanda is low. But if you are trying to reach safety, the threat of death or torture hanging over you might be enough to make you consider Ireland

          The UK has something in common with Ireland that maybe the rest of that EU doesn’t perhaps?

        They aren’t refugees because they ain’t white. There does that answer your question? Every single time you hear someone get a deportation boner just remember this and it will explain their “reasoning”.

        If white = welcome

        If non-white = deport the rape-fugee.

        Nothing up the sleeves, no complex logic you can’t follow, no study you haven’t read, just racism as it appears to be.
