A 47-year-old Irishman has been arrested by Border Patrol agents in Northwest Montana for attempting to enter the United States illegally.
Agents encountered the Irishman, carrying a large backpack, along the international border near the northeast section of Glacier National Park. He had previously overstayed his US visa and was prohibited from re-entering the United States for an extended period, according to Michael Rappold, public affairs officer for the Havre Sector Border Patrol Station.
According to the authorities, the Irishman entered the United States from Canada by walking southbound, through the woods, to avoid detection. Rappold told the press he was just carrying clothes and nothing illegal.
He has been arrested and processed in preparation for a removal hearing. He remains in custody (as of Aug 10) with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

oh for crying out loud..!
Ridiculous.
Blazing Saddles: “... but not the Irish!”
False dilemma.
Out! Out! Out!
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.
Oops, my bad. I thought Michael Rappold was the spokesperson, rather than the arrestee.

If only there were some way to track that.....

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.
Did he get tossed across the horses back the way that Ranger Walker Would Have Done?
good question...mooselimb population in Ireland increasing by leaps\bounds.
