Any Somalis live in Ireland? The anti immigration wave is hitting there too!

Westerners are growing tired of immigrants especially from Muslim countries. I expect huge riots in Ireland soon.

Not likely they are more pissed off with the EU putting 100k Ukrainians in hotels and social housing, the only people pissed off with regular asylum seekers are permanent dole/welfare fiends.

The regular citizen is more worried about the housing crisis, which was caused by the government losing a sizable amount of skilled labour after 2008 and a lack of investment in social housing during that period. Now, you have large conglomerates like Black Rock, who are pricing new buyers out of the market and building large apartment complexes and renting them at ridiculous prices, majority of MPS are landlord so they want these high prices and those already who own a home are happy to keep the status quo.

The rent in Ireland went from 800-900 in 2008-2013 to 2,000 euros, while salary/wages pretty much stayed the same, 1 bedroom apartments used to be 300-500 a month and have jumped up to 1,500.

Why you ignoring the massive wave of immigrants from Middle East and Africa? Ethnic Irish people are growing tired.

It's more India than anything else(students, and doctors/nurses are welcome.), there was a recent spike in those running away from the UK t via Belfast, and they've since been deported back to the UK, Ireland the NI has an open border policy but the border is now more closely guarded, these asylum seekers are more visible now due to the huge Ukraine intake, and clogging up the homeless shelter haven't done them any service.

It's a growing issue for sure, affecting mostly low-income bracket/welfare recipients.

Immigration is the first-to-handle, easy-fix variable when economic problems occur. Seen not only as an SES liability factor, people find it to be a symbol of their decline, so in a xenophobic hygienic attempt, people treat it as a tumor that quickly needs extracting. People's generosity often doesn't stand the test of stress. People revert to tribalistic thinking when resources seem scarce, shifting discourse to "If Us versus Them, then Us over Them."

A worthwhile element is how refugees bring customs, a way of life, and values that shift local culture ever so slightly. Whatever positives come with this, be it cultural adaptation, demographic durability, or new economic avenues for a more dynamic cultural charge for the enjoyment of all, often get overshadowed by heterogeneous pressure-induced problems. Concerns over losing grip on their ways that carry a strong thread of continuity that they feel a sense of ownership and perceived control over that they identify with becomes a social issue that gains its own life.

Immigration is a multi-faceted, double-edged sword, with its (e)valuation context-dependent. Yet the phenomenon is inevitably necessary when the population decline is imploding the economy and institutions. Having cake and eating it too mentality gets them nowhere.
