Some 50,000 undocumented Irish in the US may be fearing what awaits them when Donald Trump takes office on Jan 20, but back in Ireland thousands of people from other around the world in a similar situation are campaigning for the right to remain in Ireland.

According to the Migrant Right Center Ireland (MCRI), there are currently between 20,000 and 26,000 undocumented migrants, including children and families, living and working in Ireland, the majority of whom have been residents of the country for many years.

These undocumented migrants are fighting for immigration reforms similar to those sought by the undocumented Irish in the US, which would allow them to acquire legal immigration status. […]

“We don’t want to take anything from anyone. We just want to give and to feel we belong here by contributing,” Ana Maria Alves Caiado and Olivia Rocha dos Santos, two undocumented Brazilian migrants living in Galway, recently told the Irish Times, stating that the best present they could receive for Christmas would be to pay taxes. …

Let’s see: They can start their own country by taking a piece of land-not in the Western hemisphere. Start with white collar criminals. They’re the educated ones.

I am about 2/3rds Irish.

Father’s side is full blooded Irish and mothers side about 1/3 Irish, 1/3 German and 1/3 Slovak.

I say the 50,000 illegal Irishmen have to go back.

Unless you really REALLY REALLY don’t want to. Then you call press conferences and announce you are illegal and not leaving and of course no one does anything.

I'm of Irish blood and I say get every single Irish citizen illegally living here out.And although I may not have a right to have an opinion on the matter I say get everyone illegally living in Ireland out as well.

EVERY NATION HAS THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE BORDER LAWS!

It’s not a race thing, no matter how many times the political left repeats their big lie. It’s about the rule of law. Illegal Irish should be deported. Illegal Mexicans should be deported. Illegal Africans should be deported. Illegal Hondurans should be deported. Illegal Koreans should be deported. Illegal criminals should be deported. Illegal construction workers should be deported. Illegal taxi drivers should be deported. All illegals should be deported - no exceptions.

TOO FRICKIN BAD. BUT, expect to see more of this from European illegals. The pro-amnesty people want to prove it’s all a racist plot against “brown peoples.”

Not that many years ago, nobody wanted to sneak into Ireland. It was all about getting out.

Some 50,000 undocumented Irish in the US

Deport them - they can go home and apply to enter legally. Our border control is apparently non-existent - not only can people from Mexico enter at will and stay, people from all over the globe can fly in and overstay their visas with no consequences.

I see the left wing media have been talking ot each other in the world.

Illegal means they have no document, so therefore they are first and foremost illegal.

I worked in boston for a few years, and trust me there are many illegal Irish, and not one of them pays taxes, but some did have kids here to stay in the country, and others enever went by our laws, like driving , drinking etc. Most had disdain for Americans, and thought they were better , and made fun of Americans who stated they were Irish, especially on Paddys day.

Sounds like these illegals are of the types that my mother would call “gurriers”. They aren’t liked in Ireland either.
