Fears for undocumented Irish in America over new Trump immigrant proposal

The Irish Examiner ^ | August 4, 2017 | Elaine Loughlin

[PAR35]

up to 50,000 undocumented Irish who want to have their status recognised.

I fully agree. Let's recognize their illegal status and expel them.

[PAR35]

If they want to be American, let them marry an American.

[arrogantsob]

The right pigs are screaming.

Irish, Polish, Russian are going to be impacted. Trump’s policy is not directed at Mexicans but Illegals of all stripes, shapes and colors.

[Lurkinanloomin]

ALL illegal aliens need to leave or be removed and the rule of law restored.

Deport the Leprechauns
Erin Go Home.

[LouAvul]

Get rid of them all. Irish. messycan. ragheads. gypsies. Purge this once great nation of all invaders.

[jmacusa]

Here now, be dat as it may, if yer arse is here illegally yer still here illegally! An’ me people came from The Old Sod at a time when dere was no such fecking ting as an Immigration And Naturalization tingy, fer the love of Mary.

This is all so silly, the new policy was clearly earmarked for legal immigrants so anyone here illegally will have to wait until the illegal policies are provided.

the illegal and criminal policy has been provided and Mr Sessions will deport you shortly.

The legals already in country under the old policy are grandfathered.

Again, post does not apply to the new proposed law. Which BTW has not become law yet.

The Irish are great people, who assimilate right away into American culture. We need more of ‘em. Let ‘em in!

[Ken Regis]

FIRST, Check the Kennedy clan’s immigration status.

[posterchild]

Why would a nation of 330M+ people NEED anybody?

[zerosix]

One wonders if any of this 50,000 (estimated only) are registered and vote in the U.S.

Maybe that's but one reason why MA, including Boston's very liberal pols reign supreme.

How many of the estimated 50,000 Irish and their families are getting any government subsidies?

‘Whale Oil Beef Hooked!’ ;)

[Crucial]

There can’t be that many Irish illegals here.

Ever met one? Didn’t think so.

[Davy Crocket]

Seamus Garcia and María Guadalup Ó Néill are not amused.

That is funny!!!

[Mr Radical]

The bill would ... introduce a points-based system prioritising those who speak English, who are well educated, and who can financially support themselves and their families.

And this creates "Fears for undocumented Irish"?

Don't blame me, I'm only quoting from the article!!

[rrrod]

Keyword...ILLEGAL!

[trebb]

LOL! Upset because when trump says he wants to enforce our immigration laws, he means across the board and not just Mexicans and terrorists..

[GailA]

FAKE NEWS! Irish/Scot/Wales all speak English. Most don’t even take their original language as a secondary any more.

Issue is they are step children of the Brits way to many are use to socialism, just like the Canadians are.
