Irish elite choose mass migration over freedom of speech

Rioting is never justified. Those who block traffic, destroy property, loot businesses, and burn buildings should be identified, prosecuted, and punished.
And Irish police have arrested 34 people for participating in riots that broke out after an Algerian-born immigrant stabbed five people, including three children.

Prosecuting those who broke the law, including the Algerian immigrant who stabbed five people, should have been the end of the matter. But the Irish government is sensitive about the fact that their immigration policies, which have led to almost 20% of the country’s population being foreign-born, are unpopular.
The pace of mass migration has been particularly dramatic in Ireland, with almost half of all migrants in the country entering in just the past five years.
But instead of changing their radical immigration scheme, the Irish government has instead chosen to get rid of the people’s ability to speak out against laws they don’t like. The Irish Parliament is now considering a “hate speech” law that would make it a crime to not only dissent from mass migration, but even possess written or digital materials that call for less immigration.

“We are restricting freedom, but we’re doing it for the common good,” Ireland’s Green Party Sen. Pauline O’Reilly said in favor of the new hate speech law. “If your views on other people’s identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure, and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe that it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good.”
O’Reilly had nothing to say about the discomfort caused to natives by mass migration or the need to restrict migrants freedom to travel for the common good of the Irish people.
