Undocumented Irish Caught In Trump's Immigration Dragnet (NPR)

Dylan O'Riordan, 19, wears a lemon-yellow jail jumpsuit and a bewildered expression on his pale face.

On his "pale face"??? Isn't that a little racist NPR? Would you say that a Mexican illegal had a bewildered expression on his "brown face"?

[duckbutt]

Ditto —my folks got here the legal way as well. Legal is “the way” ALL should come into this country......

At 19, he had a child with his girlfriend, Brenna, then dropped out of high school and went to work for his uncle's roofing company. About four months ago, he and Brenna were shopping at a mall when they got into an argument. "It was nothing at all," he says. "Some woman called the cops, said I was abusing my girlfriend."

Uneducated, low-skilled, and violent - sounds like most other illegals. Buh-bye.

I hope the ICE gets around to the idiots in my community who fly the Polish but not the American flag; bet some of them are also illegals.

[Pollster1]

I don’t care if they are Irish, Somali, Slovakian, Mexican, Central Americans or Haitian. If they are illegal, deport them all. No exceptions.

[NobleFree]

This is NPR trying to put something out there that is going to sway the Trump backer away from their position... They think, we show white folks getting deported Trump will lose support...

Nailed it. The Left really believes its own fairy tales.

“They have no confidence that the color of their skin provides any protection for them,” he says.

Nor should they!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“It’s really indiscriminate. ICE, in their aggressive tactics of detention, are going after the Irish as much as they’re going after any other nationality,” says Ronnie Millar, director of the Irish International Immigrant Center in Boston.”

Both indiscriminate (when it applies to Irish) and racist when it applies to Mexicans. Covers both bases, eh? This country is pure evil.

[Tennessee Nana]

If you didn’t IMMIGRATE here or are just visiting for a couple of weeks with a visa you are an illegal alien...

GO HOME TO WHEREEVER !!!!

[Mears]

“A month ago, he and Brenna were married in the jail chapel. She wasn’t allowed to wear a wedding dress so she donned jeans and a sweatshirt. He wore his jail clothes emblazoned with ICE. They were permitted to kiss, and exchange rings engraved with “FOREVER LOVE.”

She sounds like a real piece of work too.

No wedding dress allowed and the only thing she could come up with are jeans and a sweatshirt.

A couple of low class louts———good riddance.

you send him back to Ireland but because he was a kid when he was brought over you don’t punish him further....he has no write to be here but he still is not disqualified from immigrating if he jumps through the legal hoops anyone else jumps through from a foreign country.

Ireland’s population decreased dramatically throughout the nineteenth century. Census figures show an Irish population of 8.2 million in 1841, 6.6 million a decade later, and only 4.7 million in 1891. It is estimated that as many as 4.5 million Irish arrived in America between 1820 and 1930. Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish constituted over one third of all immigrants to the United States. In the 1840s, they comprised nearly half of all immigrants to this nation. Interestingly, pre-famine immigrants from Ireland were predominately male, while in the famine years and their aftermath, entire families left the country. In later years, the majority of Irish immigrants were women. What can these statistics tell us about life in Ireland.now IT'S

NIA!!!

[beergarden]

and if she’s pregnant, the kid is and will be American. This chain migration nonsense has to end..

[beergarden]

My girlfriend is Canadian. God knows what she had to do just to get the police report from Halifax. The RCMP in Canada makes it harder to get the police file on you when they know its’ for green card purposes. They’re aholes..

[Nifster]

It’s anout time

[lodi90]

Illegal isn’t a race it’s a crime.

---

Unfortunately, it isn’t. It is a civil law issue. Not to say illegals don’t commit crimes to support their illegal status.

[FredZarguna]

Correct boyo.

ALL illegals need to leave.

[SpaceBar]

It is estimated that there are about 100k Canadians residing illegally in the United States. Foreign nationals also use Canada as a transit country to enter the U.S. primarily through the porous and hard to patrol border with Michigan.

[lodi90]

We aren’t getting the best and brightest illegally from Ireland. I’ve run into that mob in my travels in Europe. They are almost all taking the low paying jobs and competing with the likes of Latvians to get them.
