Sinn Féin's migration narratives has been a play with fire & the fire nearly exploded, literally. Kudos to the party's leadership for addressing this. But this should be a wake up call to all political establishment. Your leadership inspires others to act. What actions do you want to inspire?
Sinn Féin has expelled a member of the party after her partner was arrested as part of investigations by the anti-terror Special Detective Unit into far-right extremism.

Politicians with a migration heritage acting as if their lived experiences makes them more deserving than other migrants disgusts me more than politicians who are out of touch with reality due to their privileged background. Even more so when they hide behind supposedly liberal & democratic values
If you're obliged to volunteer to secure your immigration status that's an indentured servitude, not volunteering.

Migrants constitute a significant number of our societies and contribute a high level of revenue, yet without universal suffrage they are the blind spot of democracy.
