I am all for it, but that means that we must deport 15 million or more illegal aliens. GO IRISH!!

How about a system which allows green cards for each US resident who moves to Ireland. It would be a great result if Americans would come and retire in Ireland and younger Irish could work in the USA.

While it seems very cynical to quibble I note that the removal of Green Card entry to Irish citizens and its replacement with work visas is a change in status for those who do go legally to the United States. While respectful of the fact that we should be grateful that the US is prepared to allow work visas given the state of the US economy this is actually a removal of the Green Card system mocked up as a concession to the Irish lobby.
