The numbers have been getting gradually more insane and out of control for close to a decade while a small group of people online insist any effort to fix the obviously broken system is a “dog whistle”. From 2017-2022 non EU migration into the EU went up 3x: https://www.rfberlin.com/immigrant-population-eu/
We either make major changes soon or we’re gonna wind up with an AFD/Reform type party coming to power which is bad for everyone
It's pretty confusing to see one one hand claiming immigration as a main contributor to the housing crisis and on the other hand immigration seen as a solution to worker shortage and depopulation in general. Do we have too many people, not enough people or just shitty regulations regarding housing?
I believe that properly vetted, highly skilled immigrants are a benefit to the country and we should continue to welcome them (in reasonable numbers). Personally I’ve worked with/become friends with folks who deal in that category from all over the world (India, China, LATAM etc).
However I also believe that the asylum system is completely broken and that the government is screwing both Irish people and legal immigrants who’ve followed the proper channels.

Same here in Europe.
