@bongolian.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyAsk your Congressional representatives to pass the Dream & Promise Act. It would create an actual pathway to #citizenship for #Dreamers who came to the country as children, people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and other long-term residents who have become integral members of our […]
@csmonitor.bsky.socialThe Mexican government is weighing a proposal to require anyone running for office to hold only Mexican citizenship. But does citizenship automatically mean loyalty to a country? #mexico #citizenship #politics

@antidominionist.bsky.socialNow I'm thinking about O'Callaghan's push to retain the support of "common sense reasonable people." Who are they? The ones who want laws to do "harm"? Sounds more like anti-refugee and anti-migrant sentiment. Common sense wouldn't hurt critical skill workers in the process. #citizenship #Ireland
@antidominionist.bsky.socialThe more I think about it, the more O’Callaghans statement that “Laws harm people” seems very callous. What laws are made *with the intention* of *harming* people - outside of reprimanding the lawbreaker? That’s not good faith in the social contract. #Ireland #Citizenship

@antidominionist.bsky.social#Ireland can say '5 years is fair' for #citizenship, or '8 years is fair'. Pulling the rug out from under residents already accruing reckonable time is *not* fair and harms the attraction of desired professionals.
Is harm more important than fairness?
@antidominionist.bsky.socialChanging the #citizenship requirement in #Ireland from 5 to 8 years doesn't have to force itself on people who have already uprooted their lives to begin accruing reckonable years of residence. The ideal of law is society, not cruelty. Just write a better law.

@saziyeceyhan.bsky.social🔶🇬🇧 Applicants for British citizenship are being charged more than five times the actual administrative cost to process their paperwork.
@antidominionist.bsky.socialThere is a loud contingent of #Ireland that doesn't like immigrants.
This same contingent desparately needs to fix it's doctor/gp situation.
Maybe if more effort were put into education, there would be more doctors AND less loundmouths.
In the meantime, tightening #citizenship won't fix it.
@antidominionist.bsky.socialIreland has a GP/doctor shortage - Google it.
Pulling the rug out from under medical professionals is not the way to solve the problem. Same goes for all critical skill professions - and all problem solving.

@antidominionist.bsky.socialO'Callaghan says moving from 5 years to 8 years of reckonable residence moves Ireland in line with the rest of Europe. This is untrue. Germany just went *from 8 years to 5* in 2024.
@antidominionist.bsky.socialPeople decide to come contribute to your country and you decide that they all get to suffer through your decisions? Imagine trying to g to attract doctors to your current GP situation. #Ireland #Citizenship www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

@muzicmovementz.bsky.socialIreland just made it harder for people to become Irish citizens. Anyone need to be fluent in Irish to qualify? 🤔 #Ireland #citizenship #language #test #Irish
@isabellefk.bsky.social#Headteachers! Pls ask your #citizenship teacher to explain why this #Labour (!) plan to remove #SEND rights will be a disaster. No ctzshp specialist? Ask your #SENCo. SENCo overworked? Ask your (volunteer, non-specialist) #SchoolGovs.
@unamericanactivity.bsky.socialLOL #Trump posted a map that if actualized would grant #citizenship, #votingrights and #amnesty to a significant portion of the people his #gestapo have been persecuting. and make the idea of a wall obsolete.
