Ireland’s taoiseach has denounced anti-immigration comments made by Conor McGregor as the MMA fighter visited the White House before a St Patrick’s Day meeting with Donald Trump.
McGregor said “Ireland is on the cusp of losing its Irishness” and that an “illegal immigration racket” was “running ravage on the country”.
Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.
Dressed in a green business suit to mark Ireland’s national day, McGregor was at the White House at Trump’s invitation and participated in an impromptu Q&A session with reporters. “There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop,” he said, speaking in the White House briefing room alongside the president’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
Many countries are doing mass immigration to goose GDP to hide a recession.
Looking at Ireland they have doubled immigration, meaning they too are goosing GDP.
They also have a housing crisis as well, so its clearly being done for fake economic growth at the expense of the poor.
Sort of, except that it’s real economic growth. And skyrocketing property prices aren’t being solely driven by a couple percent per year population growth. There are other factors besides that absurdly crude and obviously false model.
