Many undocumented Irish are fed up and heading for home

Times and demographics have changed in the US, Thirty years ago, the people that were likely in charge of Immigration and Green Cards had names like Francis X Corrigan, or John W O'Connor. Nowadays It is more likely to be Gary Suzuki, David Rodriguez, or Orren Smith. As a result , the Irish have lost the wink and a nod benefit that was in place for so long, and there is little if any preference for them to acquire status while competing with thousands of others. If you have $400,000 to invest, You can fast track toward the Green Card coming in through prograams based in Mongomery (Jay Peak VT) or a few other northern tier locations, but otherwise, its going to be a difficult time. In reality, the people going back may be doing the right thing, because being honest and objective, the US is in for some real bad times down the road after all the B/S is seen through, and the realization hits that we gave away the store to a few people, and now we are in big trouble....

At least THESE undocumented workers are doing the righteous thing and going home, unlike the TNT Filipino Vargus who is holding up his Ill won Pulitzer prize as some sort of crucifix against the hex of deportation. This sort of thing tends to dishonor all Filipinos even though most of my Filipino family came here the right way. I hope we can place the secure border to hold back the flood of Hispanic and others coming across our southern border so that these very ones going back can return in a right manner and take their place of contributing to our American society. The illegal influx always trumps the rightous attempts of many others coming into America the right way, and I am tired of it.

Good for them! I admire their courage and honesty.

Both are making the right move. It won't be easy for them when they arrive home, but at least they can be certain that they will have free healthcare and if needed will receive a welfare allowance. It's a lot easier to be poor and hungry in their own home, than it is in a foreign country.

This is double good news. First, it's good for US that illegal aliens are leaving our shores. Second. it's good for Irish people to return to their homeland, the land of countless generations of their forefathers. I wish them well. What a good attitude they have, compared to the welfare sharks from Africa and Eastern Europe who are now infesting Ireland. The young lady said: "I feel guilty for living in a country that I’m not legally supposed to be in." I wish we could give such a person a Green Card, her attitude is admirable, but Ireland will be the better for her presence.
