ILLEGAL MIGRATION
Ali Mahfouz is an illegal immigrant in Ireland. Ali migrates illegally from Morocco when he is seventeen years old. He lives in Georges street where he says its people were very kind to him. Ali lies to the people that he is a medical student; his face book picture even shows him standing outside the college of surgeons holding two voluminous books which we learn that they were telephone directories. Ali makes many friends everywhere and instantly. These people give him gifts and allowed him to sleep on their sofas. Ali struggled so much to make it in Ireland. He did odd jobs there among them selling
Christmas trees door to door. He does not want to go back home.
When a professor of Trinity College gives him two hundred Euros to buy a ticket to Tangier he buys an iPod instead. Many attempts also by the soldiers to deport him have been futile. Tarrant and Slattery are trying to deport him this one more time.
RESISTANCE TO DEPORTATION
Deportation is the eviction of foreign persons back to their countries. Tarrant and Slattery are soldiers who are here to de
Ali but Ali shows resistance because he doesn't want to go back.
determined to make it Ireland.
We learn that a university professor earlier gives him two
Euros but he buys himself an iPod instead. Tarrant explains to woman at the service station that they have tried to deport Ali twit by air but he has been disruptive and he alarmed the 0th passengers by shouting that he was a terrorist and that he blow the plane by a bomb that he had.
Ali tries to escape Tarrant and Slattery at the service station.
rushes to the French woman and pleads with her to save him from t abductors but when Slattery explains things to her she understan and Ali is taken back to the car.
In on other attempt to resist deportation Ali dangerously ducks do'*
a moving trailer barely dodging the moving wheels but finds himse on Tarrant's fists on the other side. When they see Tangier harb finally Slattery pats Ali on the shoulder and tells him " Almost horn
Ali knows that he would reach home without doubt despite all effort to escape. He thinks about three years in prison and suffering that his mother and sisters WOUld go through in order save him from being eaten alive in iail. Ali therefore makes dangerous decision; to jump into the sea just to resist deportation.
POVERTY AND LACK OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Ali's mother and sisters live in cramped apartments in Beni Makac
This indicates that they are poor. Ali also says that they had rais the two thousand Euros to spirit him out of the country with difficul but he had not paid them even a cent. This was in an attempt to
Ali get opportunities in the Ireland but he was deported with anything and to top it all he would have to go to jail. This shame a fear causes him to jump into the sea.
