There are concerns that new US immigration laws will make it more difficult for undocumented Irish to secure visas.
TDs and senators who have been campaigning on behalf of the undocumented Irish in America are worried by new restrictions announced by US President Donald Trump.
While Mr Trump has consistently campaigned against illegal immigration and has pledged to build a wall on the border with Mexico, he has now moved to restrict the number of legal immigrants.
The bill would cut legal immigration by half in the next 10 years and introduce a points-based system prioritising those who speak English, who are well educated, and who can financially support themselves and their families.
Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith said a clampdown on legal migrants does not bode well for those already in the US looking to gain legal status.
Mr Smith, who chairs the Oireachtas foreign affairs committee, said: “We understand that there are up to 50,000 undocumented Irish who want to have their status recognised. That situation will be even more difficult if President Trump introduces further restrictions around immigration.”
Mr Smith said he and other politicians are continuously contacted by the families of those living in the US who are unable to travel home for celebrations, weddings, or funerals.
He pointed out that Barack Obama, Mr Trump’s predecessor who had wanted to progress the rights of the undocumented, had failed during his term and campaigners are now fighting an uphill battle.
Labour senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin said: “I think we should be worried about this, not just what it means for the Irish but what it means for every nationality in the States.
“We should be particularly concerned about the culture of fear it is causing. People have been left a little bit more uneasy and scared.
“You don’t know whether this has been genuinely thought through or if it’s just a distraction from other issues that he is having. It’s always a question you have to ask with this administration.”
Mr Ó Ríordáin said he had recently travelled to the US and met with a number of undocumented Irish. “There is now a huge element of fear and of retreating into the shadows.”
He aid the legislation would not impact Irish as much as other non-English speaking nationals, but added it was a worrying development overall.
Backing the legislation, which was introduced by two Republican senators, Mr Trump said: “This competitive application process will favour applicants who can speak English, financially support themselves and their families, and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy.
“They’re not going to come in and just immediately collect welfare.”
Mr Trump said the new law would help US workers by reducing the number of low-paid, foreign workers and would raise wages.
Fianna Fáil senator Mark Daly said: “The atmosphere in the US does not appear conducive to getting rights for the undocumented.”
If by “undocumented Irish” you mean illegal alien then I recommend learning some Spanish.
Start with this word... Adios!
Illegal Invaders who don’t Tan well.
Let me guess, most of them do the work that most Americans won’t do, work at Beer Breweries.
Oh wait, even Peter Griffin works at a Beer Brewery. LOL
BTW - Immigrants are Invited, Invaders are Repelled.
Funny you said Mexico, and correct me if I am wrong I think the Irish have a lot with Mexico than the U.S.
Get a nice one to marry Ben, jr.
Solution for stressed illegal Irish: marry a Puerto Rican with a Massachusetts drivers license.
why would an illegal alien of any sort need a visa ???
why would they deserve/merit one ???
they need to be deported...
Seamus Garcia and María Guadalup Ó Néill are not amused.

I too recognize their status as illegal ...
HELLLOOOOO...
I see you...
Youre an ILLEGAL ALIEN...
Happy now ???
I trust your paperwork is in order? ;)
The IRA Communists were helping with that. It will turn out as Venezuela.....like what always happens.
Don’t get me wrong. I agree with your sentiment.....just not who is pushing it. As long as they can be free from the constraints of the EU, have independence and build the free market. They have great potential. Particularly in the North.
“Get out of my country!” —Ryan’s Daughter
Yeah, we know there are TONS of illegal Irish here. Get out too!
“Give Ireland back to the Irish.”
I think you mean give the Irish back to Ireland!
Deport every single illegal in our country - no exceptions. Deport illegal Mexicans, illegals from Central and South America, illegal Asians, illegal Africans, illegal Russians, illegals from the Baltic states and from the Balkans, illegal Middle Easterners, and even illegal English and illegal Irish. It’s not a race/nationality thing; it’s a criminal thing. We are almost 50% leftists already, so we don’t need more criminals.
The Irish will do well under a merit-based point system. Ireland has an excellent educational system, the Irish are native English speakers with a strong work ethic, and they like and admire America and see it as their natural venue of refuge and opportunity.
“Irish girls are usually not guilty and should be allowed to stay.”
HMMMM, I think you’ve only looked at Irish girls, and never actually known any very well. I say that as a proud (and cranky) Irish American gal.
Get lost Paddy and take your socialist crap home where you and it belong I come from the same family as Michael redCollins but this is my country now.
I trust your paperwork is in order? ;)

What would the situation be if in 1900 ones grandfather ‘found’ his way to US from the ‘Old Sod’ without ‘checking’ in at Ellis?
