A response to those people who use the argument that mass immigration into Ireland is ok because “The Irish went everywhere”:

1. We are the descendants of the Irish people who remained on this Island and didn’t emigrate. Why should we have to endure endless waves of immigration now just because other Irish people in the past went to other countries? What have their decisions got to do with us? That’s the same absurd logic as saying something like you’re guilty for a crime that an ancient ancestor committed centuries ago so you should be prosecuted for it today. It’s madness. Every ethnic and racial group on the planet deserves a place where they can call home and remain the majority there. We do not owe any other group our homeland.
2. The “Irish went everywhere” argument breaks down very easily considering it’s so obviously untrue. The Irish who did emigrate overwhelmingly went specifically to continental Europe or other European colonies; The UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. It goes without saying that the mass exodus from 1845 to 1855 was to flee an actual genocide. The Irish didn’t go to the Third World in any significant numbers and yet we are now expected to be demographically overwhelmed by migrants from the Third World. How is this is in any way justified?
3. The Irish never went to any established nation where they would end up making the native population a minority in their own homeland. They did however travel to the aforementioned European colonies such as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand where they would (like other European immigrant groups over the centuries) become a portion of the founding stock of those nations.
4. The Irish people were never asked if they wished for their country be exposed to the mass immigration of the past several decades. They certainly were never asked if they wished to potentially become a minority group in their own country as they have in certain parts of Ireland.
5. The Irish people have only one country to call their home. Unlike the economic migrants who have been permitted to come here in such unsustainable numbers over the past two decades, we do not have a place to go home to if we so choose. We have only this one small island of ours. And it is rapidly being transformed culturally and demographically into a place that is totally unrecognisable from the Irish Ireland it had been for thousands of years.

Finally I will conclude by clarifying that I am not against immigration into our country and I have no problem with law-abiding immigrants living and working here if there is a genuine economic benefit to the country. I am simply against uncontrolled mass immigration that creates a variety of social, cultural, demographic and economic issues. Mass immigration has caused a major compression of wages and drastically increased rent and house prices due to the inability for supply to meet demand. Immigration numbers should be small, manageable, carefully controlled and vetted and should never become so great as to radically alter the demographics of the nation. There must be an acceptance that the Irish as an ethnic group should remain the overwhelming majority of the population in Ireland. “Ireland belongs to the Irish” was not a controversial statement to make in 1916 and it should not be a controversial statement to make today either. Loving one’s homeland and wishing to preserve its culture, history, people and future is not hateful or bigoted. I believe every ethnic and racial group on the planet should feel the same way about their homeland also.
