The shocking knife attack last November on children in broad daylight in Dublin was horrifying. Five people, including a five-year-old girl, two other youngsters, and a woman, were randomly stabbed and slashed by an assailant outside the primary school named Gaelscoil Coláiste Mhuire.

For years open-border liberals have been allowing extensive immigration into Dublin, similar to what has transformed London. When news leaked that the perpetrator was an immigrant, all-night rioting in Dublin ensued.
But then the Irish prime minister lashed out against the rioters, rather than the unprovoked attacker. Nearly a week later, Irish authorities shamefully continued to withhold his identity.
The prime minister’s response was to promise new laws immediately against “incitement to hatred and hatred in general.” Though not Irish, Elon Musk dryly observed, “Ironically, the Irish PM hates the Irish people.”
An unidentified young Irishman nailed this issue with an interview that aired on Musk’s X platform. The new legislation “has been drafted specifically to silence the Irish people from opposing … the mass immigration agenda that’s going on right now. … Migrants or so-called refugees are being dumped en masse on small Irish towns,” he said.
He called the mass immigration imposed on Ireland by globalists a “new plantation.” That term strikes a nerve among Irish who have long used it to bitterly criticize the colonization of Ireland by English Protestants in the 1600s.
Across the Western world, we are feeling the consequences of mass immigration. Our elites have lied to us that we can’t open our borders without consequences. Whether it’s the United States, Ireland, or Sweden, assimilation is far more complex than simply pressing a button. In addition, it has a real human cost, as seen in this case in Ireland and constantly along the United States’ southern border. We the people are growing tired of globalism and it is time to put an end to mass immigration.
