He had previously overstayed his US visa

***************

A large number of currently illegals are VISA overstays. They
come in legally but don’t leave when their visa expires.

The article doesn’t give his name, nor does it tell us if he was Irish Irish. Mohammed O’Malley?

Either way, he doesn’t get a pass, but there is a difference in likely motive.

Many don’t even overstay but still violate the terms of their visas. They come on 6 month tourist visas and work - typically for cash. They visit their homeland twice per year.
