A new group has been established in Ireland to campaign on behalf of the undocumented Irish in America.
The group, called The Families of the Undocumented Irish in America, will be chaired by Bundoran man Michael McMahon.
Speaking after the launch, Mr. McMahon said: For far too long, successive Irish governments have sat on their hands and failed to support their citizens living in America. The current American administration has exhausted all avenues to introduce comprehensive immigration reform at this stage, but I am hopeful that the issue will resurface during and after the coming Presidential election campaign. However, there exists a mechanism for the Irish government to involve itself in resolving the plight of the undocumented Irish in America through a visa waiver scheme, which remove the three and ten year unlawful presence bars for undocumented citizens.

Pity it is unlikely that this creep McMahon will ever get an earful from my mother, who is a legal immigrant from Ireland.

Disgusting. If I went to Ireland and broke the law, who would advocate for me?

Change your name to Juan O’Garcia, change your brogue to Spanish, drive to Tijuana and cross the bridge to San Diego and the world is yours.

Be careful what you hope for, Paddie. Once one borders converts the USA into a Mexican nation your’s will be the first country that gets an immigration embargo.

What does “undocumented” mean? That they forgot to use footnotes? Accidently left their driver’s license back home in Ecuador? It doesn’t sound too bad. Why is everyone so upset?

Not so minuscule as for Obama to not
pander to them.

They could always learn Spanglish, dye their hair, and get a tan.
There are even sanctuary cities devoted to people with those certain characteristics.

Note to Democrats: Making something worse is not “reform”.

Thats OK for them: after all, theyre only one letter off between reform and deform. Close enough for government work, as they like to say.
