The Prime Minister of Ireland suggested during an interview that illegal migrants don’t even exist, refusing to even acknowledge that the term has any meaning.
The head of the Taoiseach was asked by the host, “So do you know how many illegal migrants we have in the country at the moment?”
He responded by acting completely baffled, before suggesting that there is no such thing.
“What does the phrase illegal migrants mean? Because that’s a phrase that is used by some but that’s not a phrase in law,” said Simon Harris.
“Anybody has a right to come here and seek international protection, it is the job then of the Department of Justice to assess the validity of that application,” he added.
