I disagree totally with Mr Sutherland. Thousands of Irish are still leaving Ireland. Ireland is not in a position to accept large scale immigration. Let’s put it to a referendum!

He is a pro-corporate lobbyists. He doesn't care about how mass immigration impacts on locals. He is not competing with immigrants for housing, education or healthcare.

It sounds very Orwellian. But even if some might like this plan, could it really work?

I suspect that without strict enforcement, such as in Tito's Yugoslavia it will not work.

“I worry greatly that the rhetoric coming from the Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, is sending a message to Muslims here … and … around the world, that there is a ‘clash of civilizations.'”

So said Hillary Clinton in Saturday night’s New Hampshire debate.

Yet, that phrase was not popularized by Donald Trump, but by Harvard’s famed Samuel Huntington. His “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

” has been described by Zbigniew Brzezinski as providing “quintessential insights necessary for a broad understanding of world affairs in our time.”
