The biggest issue for the Irish community in the United States is a current “sense of vulnerability”, Minister of State for Diaspora Neale Richmond has said.
Speaking to RTÉ News during a visit to the US, he said that both those who live legally in the US and those who are undocumented are worried about their own immigration status and that of their neighbors.
When asked about increased efforts to arrest and detain migrants, he said people are scared.

As distinct from a few random recent arrivals and a whole bunch of 100% Americans who are Irish for St Patrick's Day?
